Summer Hair Stress, Solved!

Beat those summer hair woes with the help of Butterfly Studio Salon Experts, Kattia Solano and Jennifer Penny! {Products provided for review/feature consideration}

PROBLEM: DRY AND LIMP FROM CHLORINE/SALTWATER

SOLUTION: 

-Saturate your hair in a conditioner or oil before heading into the water. Josie Maran 100% Pure Argan Oil ($48; Sephora.com) is loaded with Vitamin E and essential fatty acids to condition, nourish, and coat the hair without weighing it down.

- For chlorine, wet your hair with fresh water before jumping in so your hair doesn't soak up as much of the pool water and rinse RIGHT after!

- Use Vitamin C (specifically ascorbic acid) because it neutralizes chlorine. There are some sprays, such as Jasmine Night Conditioning Spray ($63;TheOrganicPharmacy.com) that have vitamin C in them to specifically remove the residue left on hair by pool water.


PROBLEM: SCALP BUILDUP FROM SWEAT

SOLUTION:

- Make a DIY spritzer: Mix a half cup of sparkling water, a half cup of apple cider vinegar, and the juice from a quarter of a lemon into a spray bottle and apply to dry hair from roots to ends until the hair is fully saturated. Massage the mixture into your scalp for a few minutes as it absorbs, then rinse well!

- Follow up with a clarifying shampoo and your favorite hair mask. Philip B Anti- Flake Relief Shampoo ($39; PhilipB.com) provides instant relief and Katira Hair Masque ($44; PhilipB.com) deep treats while fighting humidity.

PROBLEM: FADED COLOR FROM UV RAYS

SOLUTION:

- Use products with UV protection built right in and to protect your color from fading due to sunshine, whip up a homemade concoction by diluting your favorite lotion or sunscreen with a little water in a spray bottle and spritzing your strands. Try Organic Pharmacy Cellular Protection Sun Screen ($69;TheOrganicPharmacy.com) for UVA and UVB protection!
