The Science of Summer Hair Damage
In summer…it’s all about getting the out the door as fast as possible (especially weekends) to swim, drive, run & stroll our way to adventure. But clients may not realize that the daily rituals of summer take a toll on their hair. Here’s the science and what to do about it!
UV DAMAGE
Ultraviolet rays penetrate into the hair, causing protein & pigmentation loss and structural damage.
THE SIGNS
Hair that is stressed, dull, frizzed out, porous and fragile.
SALT / CHLORINE
Water molecules are attracted to salt, so the moisture is sucked out of the hair. Chlorine strips hair of essential oils and also weakens the chemical bonds in the hair fiber.
THE SIGNS
Hair that is very dry with split ends, breakage & with a visibly dull appearance.
THE PRESCRIPTION
For hair that is already damaged from either UV exposure, salt, chlorine or even mechanical damage from winds & brushing, prescribe your client REDAVID Orchid Oil® Dual Therapy daily as a leave in treatment to repair and protect hair until restored. For ongoing daily maintenance for clients who will be spending this summer more outdoors than in, REDAVID Shea Butter Shampoo & Conditioner does the trick!
