]]> Between heat styling, product buildup, tight ponytails, and sweat, our hair goes through plenty of wear and tear as part of our day-to-day routines. Add the sun and salt water of summer, and you’ve got a recipe for dry, damaged locks and split ends by the end of the season. While we can relate to the temptation just to chop it all off, there are also other ways to revive damaged hair for those who prefer not to give up their length. Read on for some of our best tips.

Deep Condition, Deep Condition, Deep Condition

Damaged hair needs moisture and nourishment, so opt for products formulated to strengthen hair bonds and hydrate from within. Deep conditioning treatments are an especially great way to revive thirsty locks. Once a week, swap your regular conditioner for a deep conditioning treatment to target breakage and split ends, then style with a few drops of hair oil for frizz protection and shine. 

Get a Trim

If you’re not willing to part with your length, even a minor trim can make a significant difference in keeping hair healthy and preventing further damage. Split ends will eventually travel up the hair shaft, weakening strands and contributing to further splitting. Start with trimming off half an inch or so every three months, and your hair will be healthy again in no time. 

Prevent Further Damage

Heat styling will only make existing breakage worse, so it’s essential to give your hair a break by following a routine designed to minimize damage. Limit your usage of straighteners and curling irons to no more than once a week, and be sure to use the lowest heat setting and apply a heat protectant before use. To add body and shape without stressing your locks, you can also try using heatless curling tools.

]]> Evidence of hair care as part of human beauty routines dates as far back as 4000 BC, but, at least in modern times, one key factor is often overlooked. Taking care of your scalp may not seem like a big deal, but it’s actually just as important as any other step in your skincare routine. The skin on your scalp is delicate and contains a high number of oil and sweat-producing glands. Neglecting it can lead to issues such as dandruff, itchiness, and even hair loss. Whether you suffer from scalp issues or are just looking for ways to show your scalp a little more love, here are some products we recommend.

Briogeo Scalp Revival

Clean hair care brand Briogeo’s Scalp Revival line is formulated with natural ingredients such as charcoal, biotin, and tea tree oil. The collection includes products such as an exfoliating shampoo, a hydration mask, and treatment drops to help remove buildup and soothe irritated skin, leaving your hair shiny and flake-free.

Act+Acre Cold Processed Scalp Detox

This award-winning treatment is made from a blend of oils including basil leaf, baobab, and moringa. Use it weekly before shampooing to break down product build up and balance the production of sebum in the scalp.

Ouai Scalp and Body Scrub

We love a product that does double-duty. Sugar works to exfoliate the body and scalp, while coconut oil provides moisture to soothe and nourish dryness and irritation. It also smells divine – fresh and floral with just a hint of musk.

]]> Few things give us more confidence than the feeling of freshly washed and blown-out hair. There’s nothing better than that straight-from-the-salon feeling, and even when we’re not able to make it to the salon, we still like to make sure that our hair looks clean and fresh. On those days when we’re short on time or not quite in need of a full wash, we turn to dry shampoo. The era of sticky, powdery dry shampoos is far behind us, and there are some seriously impressive products on the market these days that we love to use between shampoo days.

Moroccanoil Dry Shampoo

Moroccanoil has two different versions of their dry shampoo specially formulated to be used with either dark or light hair colors. Both products contain rice starch to absorb oil and product buildup while a touch of argan oil leaves a smooth finish.

Amika Perkup Dry Shampoo

Amika products don’t just look good on your bathroom counter, they also work exceptionally well. We love their dry shampoo because it works well on all hair types without leaving any kind of residue behind. It’s formulated to nourish hair while leaving behind a vanilla-citrus scent.

Drybar Detox Dry Shampoo

Who knows what’s required for that post-blowout look better than Drybar? Their dry shampoo is formulated to work with all hair textures while it moisturizes to prevent hair from breaking. It’s also great for adding volume and is available in four different scents.

]]> Those of us with wavy hair often struggle with how to style it. Sometimes we wake up to find half of it is flat while the other half is a curly mess, and it feels like we’ve got two completely different hair types. If we’ve got time, we may be able to run a straightener through it, but we’d prefer to highlight our natural waves. Fortunately, there are a few simple steps you can take to achieve that just-out-of-the-salon look at home.

Detangle in the Shower

Wash and condition your hair as normal, but before you rinse the conditioner out, run a wide-tooth comb through your hair a few times to remove all of the tangles. Comb your hair again before wrapping it in a towel.

Use the Right Products

There are plenty of products formulated to help define and smooth wavy hair on the market today, and while there are similarities, we’ve noticed that some are more up to the job than others. We especially love Briogeo’s Banana + Coconut Soft Wave Texture Spray.

Don’t Brush It

Once you’ve combed your hair and applied any product, resist the urge to brush it again so as not to ruin your waves. If your waves do start to fall, evenly apply a bit more product and use your fingers to twist your hair into 1” pieces.
