Care for your hair during an Oklahoma summer
Summer happens in Oklahoma. Triple-digit temperatures, hot wind, high humidity. You gotta deal with it. You might even love it. But not so much what it does to your hair. Frizzies, dryness, limp locks, split ends. Oh, and let’s not forget how summer rays fade that rich color that cost you almost a day’s salary.
Shape magazine comes to the rescue with a summer hair survival guide. Here are a few suggestions from this month’s issue.
* If your hair frizzes when it’s humid, use a product with silicone or a leave-in-conditioner to seal your strand cuticles, minimizing water absorption.
* If your hair hair feels like straw, add hydration with a heavy duty moisturizing shampoo and conditioner, such as Aveda Dry Remedy Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner.
* If your hair goes limp on steamy days, use a shampoo designed to deep clean an oily scalp without dehydrating ends, such as Charles Worthington Well Balanced shampoo. And keep your hands out of your hair. Constantly running your fingers through your hair adds oil to it.
* If your hair color chnges int the sun, slap on a hat. Add a little extra protection by eliminating oil-based products that attract the sun. Instead, reach for gels such as Biolage Sunsorials Protective Sun Gel to protect your hair from fading.
* If your ends are split higher than Paris Hilton’s skirt, use Alterna Hemp Split Ends Reconstructor to temporarily “glue” ragged ends together with silicone. Then get to the salon as soon as possible to get your hair trimmed.
*If your hair turns chlorine-green after a dip in the pool, coat your hair beforehand with conditioner, then slip on a swim cap. (Yes, they really exist. Still.) Rinse your hair immediately after getting out of the pool. If your hair has already become an unflattering tinge of green, use a shampoo such as Ouidad Water Works to save your color.
