The secret to glossy post-summer locks

AWW Beauty
Monday, February 21, 2011

Question: My hair has become so fragile from colouring and swimming over summer. What’s the solution?

Answer: Cutting your hair into a shorter style is definitely the only way to restore its glory. However, it’s a drastic step. Try drenching it with moisture and healing botanicals first to see if you can salvage some shine and manageability.

Use gentle, colour-care shampoo and conditioner whenever you wash and nurture hair with a once-a-week deep conditioning treatment. A leave-in conditioner will help when styling, but it’s best to skip heated styling whenever possible.
