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

Salon owners Neil Weisberg and Amanda George of the Neil George Salon in Beverly Hills, California have recently introduced their first ever hair care collection. Launching five signature products: two shampoos, two conditioners, and one intense hair mask.

Both Neil and Amanda originally from London, have a list of celebrity clients that would make any paparazzi scream with joy, including Cameron Diaz, Heidi Klum, Ryan Phillipe, and Kate Hudson just to name a few. They along with all of their clients were the inspiration behind this beautiful hair care line. Created for you to mix and match depending on your hair care needs, and the result is totally amazing, and I mean amazing!!!

I have been using the Everyday Cleanse and Everyday Moisture Conditioner for almost three weeks, and from the first time I tried it, I loved it! My hair has an unbelievable shine and it smells soooo good. It has definitely improved the manageability, as well as feeling much smoother and fuller too. I am so thrilled to have discovered such a great line of products and look forward to trying them all.

Hair is not just hair. Really? No, hair care begins by taking care of your scalp - the skin that your hair grows from. NIOXIN is the foremost authority on treating your hair by way of your scalp. It is a different way of thinking, and I wish more hair care brands would take this into consideration.

To find the best NIOXIN products for your hair and scalp needs, you simply answer a few questions on their site and a system will be recommended.

As I am dealing with thin and thinning hair that is abused with color treatments, I am using System 3 for Fine, Chemically Enhanced, Normal to Thin-Looking Hair.

This set contains the perfect products to help manage my conditions. Each set will have you cleanse, restore, and activate. A Cleanser is the first step, a shampoo; next there is Scalp Therapy, which is your conditioner; followed by a Scalp Treatment. The scalp treatment is a leave-in product that delivers all the essential botanicals, nutrients, antioxidants and vitamins to not only nourish the scalp, but protects it from the elements.

I must say, that my usual slow-growing hair seems to not only be growing faster, it is growing in thicker and stronger.

NIOXIN products are only sold in professional salons. If your salon does not carry NIOXIN, you can look for a salon in your area with the NIOXIN product locator.
