Ways to keep your hair safe during this season from the heat of summer, pollution on the streets, and issues with city water due to your friend's rooftop or, even worse, the lake!
Hey, Luxe Beauties! 🌸
Chicago summers are truly enchanting, with a bustling city that offers a plethora of outdoor activities, from lakeside picnics to lively festivals. However, amidst all the enjoyment, our hair tends to suffer from various elements like lake water, sun exposure, environmental pollutants, and chlorine from pools. But fret not, as I am here to help you tackle these common summer hair issues with our beloved R+Co products. Let's explore effective solutions to keep your locks looking fabulous under the sunny skies! 🌞💁♀️
Challenge #1 - Dullness from Sun Exposure 🌞
Problem: The summer sun can strip your hair of its natural shine, leaving it looking dull and lifeless.
Solution: Enter the Gemstone Glossing Treatment. This little miracle worker is designed to enhance and protect color-treated hair, adding a brilliant shine that rivals the sun itself. Simply apply it to damp hair before styling to keep your locks looking vibrant and healthy all summer long. Allow it to sit for 7-10 minutes replacing your daily conditioner for enhanced SPF protection and a diamond shine.
Challenge #2 - Mineral Buildup from Lake Water 💦
Problem: Swimming in Lake Michigan is a Chicago summer staple, but the minerals in the water can lead to buildup, making hair feel heavy and look lackluster, green even!
Solution: Lost Treasure Apple Cider Vinegar Cleansing Rinse is your go-to. This clarifying rinse removes mineral buildup and restores your hair's natural pH balance increasing flexibility, restoring the cuticle, and enhancing shine. Use it once a week to keep your hair feeling light and fresh. This will be a pre cursor to your regular routine!
"Incorporating a specialized shampoo or mask into your hair care routine can significantly decrease the frequency of your salon appointments while improving the overall health of your hair."
Challenge #3 - Pollution and Outdoor Exhaust 🚗🌫️
Problem: I love a street festival more than anyone! But all the smoke, vapes, and car exhaust will leave my hair smelling something aweful and feeling horribly dirty. City living means exposure to extreme pollution, which can make hair dull and coated.
Solution: Bio Dome Hair Shield is a game-changer. This protective spray shields your hair from environmental pollutants and UV rays. Spray it on before heading out to keep your hair protected and looking its best. Think of it as a hair sanitizer from the people, fumes, and exhausts constantly whipping around the funnel cake station!
Challenge #4 - Chlorine Damage from Pools 🏊♀️
Problem: Chlorine can strip your hair of its natural oils, leading to dryness and damage.
Solution: Before you dive in, wet your hair with regular tap water and apply Atlantis Moisturizing B5 Shampoo to create a barrier. After swimming, use Peacholine Detox Conditioning Rinse to remove chlorine and restore moisture. This can leave hair feeling less strawlike an softer overall.
Challenge #5 - Split Ends from Sun and Heat ☀️🔥
Problem: The summer sun and heat can lead to dry, brittle hair and split ends.
Solution: Regular trims are a must, but for daily protection, try High Dive Moisture + Shine Crème. This leave-in treatment hydrates and smooths your hair, preventing split ends and keeping it looking sleek and healthy.
Stay receptive to products in order to avoid excessive investment in services!
