5. Minimizes the effect of the sun, salt, and the sea
When it comes to environmental damage, the sun, salt water, and chlorinated pools work against your hair. Evans teaches her clients how to care for and protect their hair in the harsh Florida of hair!
“Any time you’re going to be at the beach or poolside, dampen your hair with tap water and use a daily leave-in conditioner,” she advises. “This creates a barrier between your hair and salt, chlorine and even UV rays from the sun. If you have hard water or well water in your area, try Redken Hair Cleansing Cream Shampoo and use once a week. It melts the hair and removes mineral buildup while protecting hair color.”
Lastly, avoid styling products that contain salt. Why is there salt in your hair gel? It is used to thicken products that are mostly water. Green says, “Look for products that don’t contain sodium chloride…table salt. It will leave your hair dry. Check ingredient labels and become an expert!”
In short, make regular cuts and treat your hair fabric like fine silk, not polyester, and split ends will be a thing of the past. Now that you know how to prevent split ends, click here for the ultimate guide to managing frizzy hair.
