It’s so important to feed your hair the moisture and protein it needs.
After scorching your strands in the summer sun, grab a good mask. Hair conditioning treatments and masks are great to use about twice a week until your hair looks and feels beautiful again.
One of my all time favorites is the Source Essentielle Nourishing Mask.
A little goes a long way! You’ll only need a dime size, as this product packs a punch.

When using hot tools to style your hair, it is so important to prep your hair. Always use a heat protectant! Putting heat on your hair (blow dryer, curling iron, flat iron, etc.) will damage it. Without the use of a heat protectant, your hair doesn’t stand a chance.

I would recommend using a product when wet and when dry. While your hair is wet, using a leave in product will prime your hair for future styling and will make it super soft. My two favorites for prepping and priming my hair are Pureology’s Hydrate Air Dry Cream and Redken’s Iron Shape. You can find a link to the Hydrate Leave In on a previous blog post.

Iron Shape by Redken can be used on wet or dry hair. I prefer to use it as a follow-up to my leave in once my hair is dry. A couple spritzes in each section of hair will protect it from whatever hot tool you’re going to use. The great thing about this product is that it also provides some hold for your style. This would be great for those who are not fans of hair spray or product in general. Another bonus is that it smells great and gives your hair shine.
