“So you have to be able to protect that fabric and not just be in the sun without coverage. We carry a hyaluronic serum by Kérastase that prevents aging of the hair while in the sun.” “People also tend to forget about getting haircuts this time of year because they’re throwing it up in a ponytail. But between spring and early fall, I recommend people come in every 10-12 weeks for trims because the heat damage causes split ends.” Fayth Ribeiro, owner, The Lash Lounge on taking care of lashes “We give out very specific aftercare instructions with every treatment at The Lash Lounge. The most important time is the first 24 hours. A lot of people don’t remember to be careful [of their lashes] because life is busy, but just taking that time makes a big difference in the longevity of our services. We have our own line of products, because we know they work with our glue, so we do recommend The Lash Lounge line. While many products on the market make claims about being alcohol or oil-free, we know what is in our products and can guarantee they will help with the afterlife of our services.”

“You want to be really careful to avoid using any products with oil or alcohol. Many products we use for facial care contain these ingredients, so be extremely cautious and avoid getting them on your lashes or brows. If you’re invested in having lashes, you may need to make a choice and ditch your cleanser. Sunscreen often contains these as well, so check your labels.” Allie and Garrett, stylists at Varuna Aveda Salon Spa on protecting color “It is very important to protect your color during the summer months when your hair is prone to damage and fading. Use UV protection when you’re in the sun, and afterward apply a deep conditioning mask. Varuna Spa recommends Aveda’s sun care line because it contains UV protection. “In addition to these treatments, make sure to always use a heat protectant spray when styling your hair and lower the temperature on your flat iron during the months when you are exposing your hair to a lot more heat.”
