4 Must-Dos for Summer Hair
Summer is right around the corner and not only can the sun and hot temps wreak havoc on your skin, they can be just as damaging on your hair. The heat and humidity and the chlorine and salt water make summer the season for frizz!! Controlling frizzy or limp hair is all about using the right products. This allows you to work with your hair's natural texture, not against it.
Here are 4 tips for sexy, shiny summer strands:
1. Always start with a thermal protector, like Valentino's Leave In Protectant. It will coat the hair and protect it from the heat, UVA/UVB rays, and other damaging summer elements. After your hair is protected, then you can style it many different ways. Valentino's Leave in Protectant is an absolute must for your beach or pool bag!
2. For a natural, summer look, try Valentino's Versatile Gel Styling Mousse. This will help to create fun, beach-like texture on all hair types. As well as add volume and shine to your hair. Apply to damp hair and let hair air-dry for a piecey, wavy, sexy look.
3. If you want to wear your hair straight, use a lightweight serum to keep frizz at bay. Try Valentino's Shine Drops before blow-drying to keep hair straight and frizz-free, and then add a few drops to the finished style.
4. Use a weekly moisturizing masque during the summer, like Valentino's Intensive Treatment Hair Mask to deeply hyrdate the hair and keep it in great shape.
Aside from products, don't forget the importance of keeping your tresses cool in style.
Headbands are the perfect way to keep hair off the face. Ornate headbands with jeweled embellishments are becoming quite popular for the summer. Also try the look of headscarves -- they keep the head cool and are very stylish. For longer hair, ponytails are totally chic. You can do a quick casual low ponytail or a create a higher ponytail for a more sophisticated look.
Whatever style you choose, don't forget the number one summer hair must-do: use sun protection!
Women are very conscientious about protecting their skin from the sun's harmful rays but, surprisingly forget to properly care for their hair. A day at the beach can really wreak havoc on the hair due to extensive sun exposure. The perfect solution is Valentino's Quench Line of Shampoo and Conditioner to retain the moisture and keep your hair looking beautiful all summer long!
