This is the best time for you to really go out and show the world your new hair! YES! We would love for you to enjoy your summer and take all the pictures (Don’t forget to tag us @Komi.hairsalon) While we encourage you to go and live your best life, we also want you to make sure to take great care of your hair, whether you have extensions or not. Read below for a few hair care tips that will keep your hair beautiful and healthy throughout summer!
- Protect your hair from UV rays!
Sun damage isn’t limited to your skin, it can play havoc with your hair causing dehydration, reduced strength, poor elasticity,decreased shine, and color fade. We encourage you to use Products that will protect your hair from the sun!
Products that we recommend:
Oribe’s Power drops color preservation booster
This highly concentrated treatment serum provides an intense dose of antioxidants and amino acids to shield hair from UV rays and enhance color retention. Formulated with vitamin C, bioflavonoids and quinoa protein, just a few drops of this powerful elixir preserves and protects every shade.
Oribe’s Invisible defense universal protection spray
Your daily dose of universal protection. This weightless mist shields hair from thermal damage up to 450°F, UV rays, and pollution while imparting gentle moisture. Say goodbye to dryness, color fading, and frizz.
Take a break from constantly styling your hair with hot tools!
This is a great time for you to rock that natural look and incorporate cute braids! (Check out our salon instagram for easy braid tutorials) The season is already hot and could dry out your hair. We definitely don’t want that. Excessive heat on your hair will cause color to fade. If you must use a styling tool, do so minimally and try to keep the temperature as low as you can.
- Here’s what to do if you plan on hanging near the beach or pool.
We get it! It’s almost impossible to completely avoid the water. To get you prepared to live your best life near the water, first wet your hair down with cold water, apply conditioner or a hair mask. You want to leave this the whole time that you’ll be near the pool or beach. This will prevent your hair from soaking up chlorine and salt water keeping your color safe.
- Incorporate a deep moisture treatment masque into your routine 1-2 times a week
Summers can get very hot and dry. So can your hair! This time of the year is when everyones hair lacks moisture. It’s very important to treat your hair with love and lots of hydration and moisture.
We recommend:
Oribe’s Moisture and control deep treatment masque
This ultimate moisturizing masque, with coconut and almond oils, quenches thirsty curls and prevents breakage while repairing damage. Hair is left silky, hydrated and healthier than ever. For those with curly, coily or thick hair in need of intense moisture and strength.
Kevin murphy Hydrate me masque
This moisturizing and smoothing masque is the ultimate deep conditioning treatment that replenishes and repairs dry, parched hair. Bursting with essential oils and vitamins from Rose Hip, HYDRATE-ME.MASQUE delivers intense hydration and restores healthy body and shine.
- Use Hair extension safe sunscreen
Now is the perfect time to check your sunscreen ingredients. DO NOT USE SUNSCREEN THAT CONTAINS AVOBENZONE. Avobenzone creates a chemical reaction with your extensions turning them a pinkish- orange color that is almost impossible to reverse. Also be aware of other people spraying non-extension safe aerosal sunscreen around you without protecting your hair.
Extensions safe sunscreens:
- Coola Mineral Body Organic Sunscreen
- Bare Republic Mineral Sunscreen Lotion
- Sun Bum Mineral SPF 50 Sunscreen Lotion
We hope that you have the best summer ever! We can’t wait to hear all about your summer plans and all the amazing things you’ve done thus far! We are looking forward to your next hair experience with us! Take care of your gorgeous self and your amazing luxurious hair!
XOXO,
