Post-Summer Hair Rehab: Give Your Hair the Break It Deserves

After months of sunshine sweat, pool days, and endless styling, your hair has been through it. Summer is fun for you-but lets be real, it's a little exhausting for your hair. Here's how to transition into fall with healthy, happy hair

1. Make an appointment with your stylist.

   The first step to repairing summer stress is professional care. Schedule a visit to get a customized treatment plan for your hair's current condition.

2. Request a scalp and hair detox, trim and deep conditioner.

   A detox clears away product build-up, salt, chlorine, and sweat that can block moisture. Follow it with a trim to snip away dry, brittle

   ends and a deep conditioner to bring your strands back to life.

3. Smooth things out with a silk press.

   After months of buns, braids, or twist-outs, a silk press will smooth the hair cuticle and restore shine.

4. Wrap it up-literally.

   Once your stylist gives you a professional treatment and style, wrap your hair every night. This daily habit will help your style last longer and protect your ends.

5. Give your hair a break from extensions.

   Weaves, braids, glue-ins, and infusions can all look fabulous-but your hair needs time to breathe. And yes, the main ingredient in healthy hair is air. Your hair is thirsty for it! Let it have a sip.

6. Not ready to take out your braids yet?

   That's okay-just plan your takedown so you can give your natural hair a rest before your next protective style. The same rule applies to any type of

   pf extension.
