Summer is Almost Here

Summer is almost here... which means beautiful tans, sunscreen, brightly colored pedicures and perfect, wind-tossed hair! Hair care maintenance in the summertime is crucial. Whether you choose to let the sun work for you or against you is your choice but here are a few tips to have fabulous, healthy summer hair:

1. Drink PLENTY of water!!! Water is hydrating not only for your body but for your hair. It flushes out all the bad guys and keeps your hair looking fresh! So carry around your 64 oz. jug w/ a little lemon for convenience. If that doesn't work, find a routine that works for you. Schedule in water breaks. It's worth it! Your health is your wealth!

2. Befriend the Scissor!!! It's so important to trim ends. Hair can easily become more dry and brittle depending on the climate you live in. Add in the frequent visits to the beach/pool and more shampooing and conditioning than normal; without proper maintenance, you could have a disaster on your hands (or in this case, head). Trims should be done every 6-8 weeks or sooner, depending on instructions from a personal hair stylist.

3. Condition! Condition! Condition!!!! Chlorine, salt, sand, sun, hair dyes: these are elements that can destroy hair. That's why it's important to use a conditioning agent before getting in the water so that the hair has a protectant against the elements. For ladies who are ready to color and dye, know that the blond highlights will not be lovely if not properly conditioned! Organix Shea Butter, Coconut Milk, or Teatree Mint Shampoos and Conditioners are great protein-rich options that will protect the hair and keep it silky and soft!

4. Keep it as NATURAL as possible!!! Lots of hair products contain sulfates and parabens which can dry out hair and leave it brittle! Organix hair care products are both sulfate and paraben free so the hair follicle isn't stripped of unnecessary nutrients.

All it takes a couple smart lifestyle changes like opting for water instead of soda, reading the labels on beauty products, and a walk to your nearest beauty supply aisle for healthy, glowing summer hair! In the quest to keep hair lovely, think organically and go with Organix!
