How to get your hair Summer ready

  1. Get a trim: The first step to adding life back to dull winter hair is a nice trim to all your dead ends. DIY
  2. Hot Oil Treatment: Create your own at home hot oil hair treatment to liven up your dry hair. Here is our personal favorite: Mix two tablespoons each of olive oil and coconut oil. Mix them in a microwave safe bowl and heat them up for 15 second intervals until the mixture is warm, not too hot. Apply the mixture to your hair from its root to tip. Let it sit for a half an hour before rinsing it out in the shower with shampoo and conditioner.
  3. Take a supplement: Vitamin E, either taken orally as a capsule or applying it topically can help increase blood flow in your scalp, which is vital for hair growth and maintenance.
  4. Purchase a hair mask at your nearest drugstore: A few name brand treatments to look for are the Renewing Argan Oil Of Morocco Intense Moisturizing Treatment, L'Oreal Paris Advanced Hair Care Total Repair 5 Damage Erasing Balm, SHEA MOISTURE RAW SHEA BUTTER DEEP TREATMENT MASQUE WITH SEA KELP & ARGAN OIL, and Tresemmé Nourish & Replenish Mask
  5. Invest in a salon treatment: If at-home treatments aren’t what you are looking for, invest in a professional hair treatment at your favorite salon. Hair professionals know better than anyone how to get you back your healthy hair. Call the salon and ask what options they offer for in-salon treatments.
  6. Shampoo less: Professionals recommend using sulfate free shampoo as well as washing your hair less often. Daily shampoo washes can strip your hair of its natural moisture.
  7. Post shower love: Make sure to add a leave in conditioner after you shower. This will help you avoid any breakage from styling.
  8. Give your hair a break: No one says you need to stop blowdrying or flat ironing your hair forever, but try to give your hair some time off. There is nothing sexier than beach curls and waves during the summer months.
