Don’t be fooled by the cool weather
I know I’m starting to sound like a broken record
At the risk of sounding preachy about this summer protection stuff I just had to pass on one more article on protecting your hair from the ravages of summer. ” cloudy, windy day can do as much damage as a scorcher”Thank God, it appears that this seemingly endless string of scorching heat is over, but your hair is not out of the woods quite yet. In fact sometimes a cloudy, windy day can do as much damage as a scorcher. Thanks to CBS 3 in Philadelphia we have this article that focuses heavily on using products as protectant. A good strategy in my opinion but also they quote from my favorite beauty resources book by Don’t Go Shopping for Hair Care Products Without Me.
Don’t forget to checkout the video on that site as well, its worth checking out . . .

Summer Hair Care Natasha Brown ReportingSummer sun is tough on hair. “It definitely gets a little more bleached and dry,” said one hair salon customer, “especially being at the shore, the beach, salt water, the pool, and chlorine.” Ponytails, pigtails and hats act as quick fixes for some, but sun exposure can leave hair looking limp and lifeless. What do stylists say you should do? “We have a leave-in conditioner,” said Alex Molchazskiy of L’Etoile. “You can spray it on your hair and it protects from the sun.” There are dozens of new products flooding the market. Phyto Sun Protectant products are one line claiming to offer UV protection. Kiehl’s Leave-In Conditioner is meant to shelter the hair from harmful sun rays. “Use a product that contains a sunscreen, preferably, if you’re going to be out in the sun a lot for the summer,” said Rick Boldini of Sianni Salon. A lot of stylists swear by these products, but not everyone is sold.

A lot of stylists swear by these products, but not everyone is sold. Beauty industry author Paula Begoun is skeptical, pointing out that the FDA doesn’t allow hair care products to carry an SPF rating. “If the UV protection is in a product like a conditioner, and you’re in the shower, you’re rinsing those sunscreen ingredients down the drain,” said Begoun. “If you’re putting it on in the form of a styling product, the heat from your blow dryer or flat iron is also degrading the sunscreen ingredients.” |
