Dean's Healthy Hair Tips

Believe it or not, summertime is coming up fast! But you don't have to wait until summer to give your hair that fresh summer look! Here are some great "summertime / anytime" hair hints!

1. Often times hair stylist forget to mention to their clients, that is DIET including folic acid and calcium are great ways to help with strengthening the hair and with hair production. Simply eat more fruit, beans, and green leafy vegetables.
2. One of my favorite tips is - don't wash your hair everyday! The natural oils from your scalp help to naturally condition the hair. If you feel like you are a little limp or feeling a little oily just put some baby powder or corn starch on your hands and apply to the roots this will absorb the oil and give the hair some body and texture.
3. If your hair is feeling like there is a "build up" on it, a quick way to get rid of it is, after you have shampooed your hair do a little rinse with a cup of "ACV" (apple cider vinegar). Your hair will feel clean and fresh; however, you may want to put a little conditioner thru to minimize the smell of ACV.
4. An obvious beauty tip - especially for the summer and it is never emphasized enough - is you have to put SPF on your partline, and if you pull your hair back in a ponytail to run outside make sure you have SPF on your ears and if you want to save your hair put on a baseball cap. I have seen many clients that have a bit of a tie dye look on their hair because the sun will fade your color and you will often have a band of dark where the ponytail tie is.
5. Styling in the summer can be difficult for many because of high temperatures and humidity. Quick styling is key. The InStyler� can help you smooth out or put waves into the hair, and both are great texture for a half up half down do. Pull the sides back into a simple pony and cover with a great accessory, this keeps the hair off of your face and it looks like you spent a long time getting those waves perfect.
6. When you are going to the store pick up an extra avocado, smash it up on a bowl with a teaspoon of olive oil and apply to freshly shampooed hair, wrap with some plastic wrap and wait for 30 min then rinse completely followed by a light conditioning. This will help if you fight off dry hair.
