Now that June has arrived, it’s time to think about maintaining your beauty style including hair, nails and tan. While everyone enjoys the fun and sun of summer the season can have consequences on the hair and skin that every stylish woman needs to be aware of. At The Beauty Bar we always want you to look your best so we’ve put together a few helpful tips to keep in mind when spending time at the beach, on a picnic or just relaxing in the great outdoors.
- Humidity and prolonged exposure to the sun can have damaging effects on natural hair. If you’ve recently had a color job the sun can turn your hair a variety of wild shades and we’re pretty sure a rainbow wig is not what you’re looking for. Whether you have curly or straight hair we recommend using a sun veil hair treatment product that will protect your hair without frizzing. Also, let your hair dry naturally in the summer and don’t be afraid to get a little salt water in your locks.
- With a coloring job you may need to protect the new color with a sun shield spray or shampoo that will act to maintain the color you chose and keep your hair safe from damaging sunlight that has the ability to change hair color. Sunlight can also change the color of natural hair, such as strawberry blondes and even brunettes so if you’re the adventurous type let the sun play a little with your hair and see if you can get some nice blonde streaks or a lightened brown.
- Many women like to refer to themselves as ‘sun worshippers’ but the damage done to the ozone layer has made UV light very dangerous and even if your skin is dark in tone you are still at risk for possible skin cancer if you don’t protect yourself. Use a sun tanning product or sun block that is at least SPF 30 or higher. If you are fair skinned and are worried about even a little sun exposure consider spray tanning instead. Spray tanning goes on quick and lasts for days so you can have a healthy tan without the risk.
- Summer is bright and colorful so try to match the style with hair colors that are bold, nail polish shades that are vibrant and eye shadows that fit the stunning scenery provided during the months of June, July and August. Save the dark and pale shades for fall and winter and instead pull out colors that will compliment your lighter side including lush greens, warm pinks and ocean blues.
