5
ways to… Fuss-free hair
‘Chlorine, like bleach, makes hair swell,
and salt water roughs up the cuticle,’ says Wella’s Aura Friedman. Solution: a
swim cap. Or, wet hair with fresh water and apply a leave-in conditioner all
over: your locks won’t be able to sop up pool or ocean water.
Quench dryness
For supple locks, skip sulfate-based
shampoos and use conditioner, advises Lorraine Massey, stylist and owner of
Devachan Salon in New York City. These hydration-boosting steps help seal the
hair’s cuticle, blocking out humidity (and stopping frizz)
Get a gloss
Summertime elements dry hair, causing
frizzies, says Friedman. Nip them in the bud with a clear demi-permanent
(a.k.a. gloss) applied at the salon or at home. It will smooth hair and create
shine for up to four weeks.
Do the twist
French twist are always chic, says Los
Angeles hairstylist Andy LeCompte. To tame the front (and avoid looking like a
fifties greaser), pass up gel and run a matte styling product like Wella Velvet
Amplifier ($16, salons) through hair. Then brush it back and secure it.
Fill in the gaps
Damage (from haircolor, hot tools, too much
sun) creates nicks in hair, making it susceptible to frizziness. You can fix
the porous spots in hair temporary by using shampoos and conditioners with
proteins, says Heather Warnke of John Frieda.
