Summer Haircare Survival Guide
Can you believe it? After what seemed like a never-ending New York winter, the summer solstice is officially in effect. Yet with all of the joys that the season brings — new clothes, longer days, weekends in the Hamptons, barbecues with friends, to name a few — unfortunately come several stresses (environmental or otherwise) that threaten tresses; namely, sunlight, chlorine and salt water. In order to properly care for your hair during the summer months, there are certain tips and tricks that I swear by. Here are a few of my summer hair survival secrets:

2. Summer is oftentimes synonymous with humidity, which consequently brings the word “frizz” to mind. In order to combat the climate, I advise growing your layers out long — especially if you have thick, curly hair. This is because choppy, short and/or heavily layered styles are far more susceptible to frizzing up in the midst of muggy weather.

4. If you’re planning a beach day, slick wet hair back with conditioner — leave-in or otherwise — before heading out. The conditioner will protect your hair from the especially intense heat, sun and wind that beat down on you after several hours spent in the sand.

5. When all else fails, cover it up! Braids, scarves, swim caps and hats are all excellent options. A summer hat will shield you from the sun’s damaging rays and the harsh chlorine found in swimming pools, while also being on-trend (you’ll really know it’s summer when the ubiquitous fedora, the perennial favorite among the celeb set, will be making its triumphant return). Panama hats, straw hats and the aforementioned fedora are all viable options.
