Just One More!

I know what you're thinking. How many products can this girl have? She recommended over 10 products just for the pool/beach alone! She must be like one of those old women who lives in a shoebox stuffed with old trinkets, tokens and other useless mementos. Well... I will say that I do have a fair share of products BUT they are all essential (and discreetly stored in an organized manner!). So you too can make room for a couple more sun essentials but this time for your hair!

Yes sun can damage your hair, especially color treated hair. UV rays cause oxidation of the color molecules leading to fading and in the case of brunettes brassiness. If that's not enough the combo of sun, salt and or/chlorine (which is another color altering culprit) robs hair of essential moisture, weakening the overall structure and strength of hair. Therefore make a little extra room in your beach bag for Tela Guardian SPF 18, a natural, light-weight, leave-in hair milk. It protects hair with SPF and antioxidants while restoring moisture, nixing frizziness and improving manageability. Once your back indoors it is essential to wash your hair with a shampoo and conditioner/mask made specifically for post-sun care. Many professional, salon hair care brands like Redken or Phyto offer an after-sun range. My favorite is Kerastase Bain Apres-Soleil Shampoo, which gently washes out the above mentioned aggressors and purifies hair, and Masque UV Defense Active which replenishes and fortifies hair for silky soft and radiant tresses. Now your hair can stop being envious of your sun protection regimen for the skin!

Usage tip: To further protect hair (and your face!) always wear a hat. It shields and prevents UV damage and just one more fun accessory to throw into the mix!

The result: There will be hands who will long to run their fingers through those silky, shiny strands! Trust me!
