With summer more than halfway over, there's no better time to assess the damage done to our hair.
Sun, sand and chlorine take a toll on our locks. However, with a few simple hair care tips, we can bring life and vitality back to dry, brittle hair.
Detox
Post-swim, use a shampoo with ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid, like Frederic Fekkai Marine Clean Detox Shampoo ($23). “It grabs hold of chlorine and pulls it from hair,” says Mario Russo, a salon owner in Boston and Vermont. Swimmers need to pamper their hair every day to keep it clean, healthy and manageable.
Hydrate
Louise O’Connor, owner of OC61 Salon and Spa in New York City, suggests this DIY mask: blend 1/2 avocado with 2 tablespoons olive oil; apply the mixture to your hair and rinse after 20 minutes.
Treat
Deep-condition weekly, using a treatment loaded with moisturizing shea butter, like Sleek.look Miracle Reconstructor ($16).
