Hairbrained – Summer Vacation Must Haves for Hair by Beauty Expert, Gina Rivera

You’ve purchased your tickets, you’ve selected just the right clothing and now comes the time to pull your looks together on your summer vacation. So, what are some items that you must have in order to really pull of the chic’ look that you want?

First, let’s keep in mind, your hair is typically one of your best accessories no matter what outfit you plan to wear. This is when you must be mindful that packing the right products is essential. Especially when traveling! Good looking hair means good hair health.

Most of the time, while on summer vacation, we’re soaking in the sun and swimming in a pool, a lake or the ocean. While this is a lot of fun, it’s easy to generate a build-up on your hair from the different waters.  This is why packing a good clarifying shampoo is key. Clarifying shampoo can help to eliminate the build up that can leave the hair limp and heavy if not removed.

Hydrating shampoo is another product that you’ll want to pack. Both the heat and the sun can be intense in the summer. This can result in your hair becoming dry, resulting in more breakage than average.  This is particularly intense when traveling in summer climates where you may be outside more than normal.

If you’re a blonde you’re going to want to include a shampoo that is designed to prevent brassiness. If you want to keep a warm, bright look, make sure to cleanse your hair with a blue or purple shampoo. This will contribute to your blonde looking fresh with summer tones.

And finally, don’t forget a good daily conditioner. Remember to apply it when you cleanse your hair as well as before you go into the water. This is a great way to prevent chlorine from penetrating the hair.

Follow these steps, and you’re going to look terrific!
