Bond repair treatment
You need a bond repair treatment! You've heard of brands like Olaplex making bonding treatments.. The purpose of a bonding product is to reconstruct the hair from the inner cuticle to the outer. Living Proof is a brand that we love around here, and they recently came out with a bonding product. You can use this one once a week on wet hair and follow up with your normal blowdrying and styling tools. Protects hair from thermal, UV damage, & even color fade! The technology in it is A+.

Give your mane a reset
With all the trips to the beach or pool, you need to give that scalp special attention to obtain overall shiny locks. We recommend adding in a scalp scrub to your routine about once a week. Removes all that excess buildup and impurities. If you want to learn how to make an at-home scalp scrub, click here.
Switch shampoo & conditioner
Something different to do is switch up your shampoo and conditioner. Even if you have one you absolutely swear by, try adding in a clarifying or extra moisturizing one once a week. Sometimes we all get stuck in the rut of using the same old shampoo and conditioner. Switch it up! Your hair will love it.
Hair detox rinse
After all the summer sun & chlorine, your hair might be left looking all dull and faded. A quick way to help with that is a hair detox rinse. We love to use an Apple Cider Vinegar rinse, mainly because it's so easy to do at home. Try out an ACV rinse to enhance your colors brightness, + shine & smooth control. Who wouldn't want that?
