Start the Season with a Trim

Prepare your hair for the season by getting a trim or a cute cut to remove dead, split ends. A cute cut will give your hair some shape for the summer for those wash and go’s.

Shampoo More Regularly

If you’re someone who shampoos bi-weekly, you may want to start shampooing weekly with a moisturizing sulfate-free shampoo and follow up with a moisturizing conditioner.

Cowash in Between Shampoo

When you live in a hot and humid climate, your hair loses moisture to the atmosphere. It needs to be replaced and cowashing or conditioner washing is a great way to do that.

Invest in a Clarifying Shampoo

Regardless of the time of year, you should shampoo with a clarifying shampoo every couple of months or so. Depending on what type of products you may need to do this more frequently.

A clarifying shampoo is formulated to remove dirt, debris, and pool’s chlorine from the hair.

Here’s are additional benefits of Clarifying Shampoos and one’s to try.

Grab a Leave-In Conditioner

You know that moisturizing using the L.O.C. Method is the best way to keep your hair hydrated for a week or more. A leave-in conditioner can be a key component of that.

Deep Condition As Needed

There are two types of deep conditioners: moisture or protein-based. They can be used to restore or prevent the loss of the hair’s moisture-protein base.
