Fall Hair Fixes

Monday, September 27, 2010

During the summer months we can be pretty hard on our hair. Once fall rolls around it's time to get back on track!




1. Pop open an ampoule! Those tiny little packets of deep conditioner are more concentrated than the regular stuff so using one of these can really give you a bang for your buck! Try Pantene Pro-V Medium-Thick Hair Solutions Professional Level Damage Repair Ampoules or Pantene Pro-V Curly Hair Series Professional Level Damage Repair Ampoules both can be found at your local drugstore for just $7.99

2. Trim it on up! Avoided trimming your hair all summer? Well now is the time to take the plunge and snip away the damage you've caused to those ends this summer. Be honest with yourself and really take stock of your hair and determine how much needs to be chopped. Remember by waiting to trim, the damage will only travel further and further up the shaft causing more damage.

3. Darken up! Has the summer sun caused your color to go brassy or look washed out? Rich chocolates, shiny blacks, and amazing auburns are in this fall! Try a natural alternative to harsh dyes and try henna! Have dark brown hair and want a rich brown? Mix 1/2 henna with 1/2 indigo, for a jet black look, use henna first then indigo, or want a full out auburn look? Mix up straight henna. Tip: Always, always, always use body art quality henna for your hair not those commercial types you find at the BSS or Whole Foods.
