The Perfect Summer Blonde!



 



During the summer, everyone's hair is bombarded by the elements.  Blondes, especially, must take good care of their hair in all situations to keep it soft and shiny.  Here are a few tips for your blonde hair:



  • When Swimming:  Keeping chlorine out of your hair is important for preserving your pure blonde color.  Kerastase's product, Gelee Aqua-Proof, is a great product to use before swimming to protect your hair from chlorine pools and salt water.

  • In the Sun:  The Sun's UV rays can be harsh on natural or lightened blonde hair.  In fact, it can lighten highlighted hair over time and with prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Kerastase's Soleil line includes masques and sprays that can help to defend your hair from the Sun.

  • Moisture, Moisture, Moisture!  Keeping your hair moisturized is one of the best defenses against the harsh, drying rays of the sun. Deep conditioning masques and overnight moisturizers do just the trick!

  • Ask your stylist!  She will be able to recommend the products that will protect your hair while keeping it light, shiny and healthy!
