Summer Hair Care Solutions for Damaged Hair

1. Everyone’s Been Talking About It.

Coconut oil is a stand-alone Miracle Worker, and a coconut oil-infused treatment is even better. Suave Professionals Coconut Oil Infusion Damage Repair Oil Treatment takes nourishing to the next level. It starts working instantly and does some major damage reversing on up to two years of affliction—we’re talking 10-plague-levels of damage here. After washing and conditioning your hair as you normally would, spend some time pampering yourself (nails, anyone?) before returning to your damp strands. Comb two to three pumps of product through the bottom three-quarters of your hair avoiding the roots, and prepare to let the magic happen. Continue on with your usual hair care routine and let the oil seep in to work its magic.

2. Mask Your Way to Salvation.

A hair mask is the be-all and end-all when it comes to hair treatments. An instant pick-me-up, it’s specifically targeted to resuscitate dry and damaged hair. It works internally to repair damage and leaves you with the silkiest strands. Dove Nutritive Solutions Intensive Repair Deep Treatment Mask nourishes hair and leaves it 10 times more resilient than its prior condition—it’s like the emergency phone upgrade after you dropped and shattered your screen again, it promises the same smoothness and shine of freshly moisturized locks.

3. Take It Slow.

If you’re crunched for time and there simply isn’t room in your schedule for more intensive summer hair care solutions, try replacing your usual hair care products with more effective options. TRESemmé Moisture Rich Shampoo and Conditioner are the duo of the busy girl’s dreams. Hydrating and moisturizing, this system targets the thirstiest and driest parts of your hair to repair your strands without weighing them down. Set your usual shampoo and conditioner aside for the next few weeks, and ensure that your fall look doesn’t include damaged tresses. What are your failsafe summer hair care solutions?
