Summer Hair Savers

Summer is here (although you wouldn’t be able to tell, here in DC it’s 67 degrees and raining) and with the wacky weather comes new hair issues to muck up your day.  Whether your hair gets frizzy, limp or the color fades, I have a list of products that will have you looking your best.

Frederic Fekkai Marine Summer Hair Zero-Humidity Frizz Control is a weightless, alcohol-free mist with sea algae extract that blocks humidity while sealing in hydration to keep sleek for all-day frizz and fly-away protection.  I spray this on my hair when it is damp before I style.  This doesn’t stop all frizz BUT it does keep about 85% under control and for me that is better than nothing!

Ted Gibson Fix-It Gel I am normally not a fan of hair gel in general BUT this is the best one I have tried in a LONG time. Fix It Gel gives hair luscious body, bold movement, intense shine, and protection from humidity, without the usual sticky gel residue.  Perfect for a slicked back summer do without that crunchy weird gel feel.

T3 Refresh Volumizing Dry Shampoo – My all time favorite dry shampoo, perfect for refreshing your hair after the gym when you don’t have time to wash it or if your hair gets a bit oily between shampoos. This waterless spray cleans hair without water—absorbing oil and eliminating odor while adding instant lift and volume. Available in three color tones: blonde, brunette, and auburn.  Tip: lift hair and spray at the roots section by section for the most volume.

Phytocitrus Restructuring Mask for Color Treated Hair – If you stay in the sun a lot over the summer and your hair is color treated, then you know how the color can change and dry out. I recently discovered Phytocitrus which prolongs and enhances the beauty of recently colored, highlighted or permed hair. In addition, it smoothes the cuticle layer to ensure maximum shine. When I use this, my hair is smooth as glass.

All products are available at Sephora stores nationwide and sephora.com
