Florida, with its harsh sun rays, blistering heat and pool chemicals, can be hard on our hair and so can we. We blast our hair with hot air from our blow dryers, we pull and yank, we straighten, we bleach and we hot curl until we can’t curl anymore. So what’s a girl (or guy) to do? It comes down to the fact that it really is essential to create and implement a personal hair care program tailor-made just for your hair.

First and foremost, regular professional trims will help to keep hair healthy. 

If you don’t already, you should determine your hair type and then wash and treat your hair with products as frequently as needed for that particular type of hair. Wash hair in lukewarm water with sulfate-free shampoo. Clarifying shampoos can remove build-up, but be careful with these as they can also remove natural oils.

Also be mindful that hair is a part of us and, like other parts of our body, it needs nourishment. So, condition your hair based on your hair type and needs. Be sure to apply conditioner liberally to hair ends and use leave-in and deep conditioners for added nourishment.

Other hair products you may want to add to your regular hair care routine may include pomade for shine, wax for shine and hold, mousse for volume and gel or curl definers for texture – remembering that how you add product can be just as important as the product you add.

Certain hair products need time to work their magic, so be consistent with your hair care routine. Additionally, hair needs can change over time and with the season, so adjust accordingly.

If it all seems a bit overwhelming, no worries. The hair care professionals at Colors Hair Studio are here to work with you to provide you with the exact professional hair care products and advice you need for healthier hair.
