Summer Styles

Summer is here and the temperature is rising! Whether you’re planning to sun or swim, your hair is at increased risk for dryness and breakage…gasp! Thankfully, Eliegante Hair Design has come to the rescue!Going for a swim? Salt buildup can lead to dry, hard to manage hair, and chlorine can cause cuticle damage and split ends. That’s because the chemicals strip away sebum, a natural scalp lubricant. To prevent this, treat your mane before or after hitting the water. Elie suggests that prior to the pool or beach, wet your hair with fresh water and apply a leave-in conditioner. You can us a special shampoo from PAUL Mitchell will help restore shine and strip away chemicals. Fun in the sun? UVA and UVB  Rays  have the power to damage your hair, too! I  says that signs of sun-damaged hair include brittleness and dryness, broken or split ends, frizz, faded color, and even weakened or thinning hair. I emphasizes the importance of protecting products that contain UVB absorbers, seal the hair shaft to prevent humidity, and moisturize with natural proteins and extracts (Try: Awapuhi Wild Ginger keratin treatment, or PhytoKarite Mask). These days, many Professional Products leave in conditioners, products for styling and hairsprays contain sunscreen – perfect for preventing fading or lightening of colored hair.

Go Darker

Going a bit darker usually suits most blond’s more than going lighter does (a la Jennifer Aniston), so try out a semi- or demi permanent shade first before fully committing to it.
Hold On to Your Blond
Cleansing with blond-specific shampoos and their matching conditioners will help you love your color longer. (They are formulated with a gentler pH level than traditional versions.)

You Love Being Blond

November-20-10

Whether your golden locks are natural or you work hard at maintaining that most famous of hair colors, you’ve likely considered giving different blond intensities a whirl. But before you decide to go lighter or darker, remember the top rule of hair color change: The farther you stray from your current color, the more damaged your hair will be. Overall, pros advise remaining within two levels (the scale by which hair color is measured) in either direction. “When you go too far, the hair texture that you feel today will be gone tomorrow,” warns

Blond: Go Lighter

Before doing anything else, consider your skin tone. If you’re fair-skinned, don’t go too light to avoid looking washed out or tired. Do you have medium to dark skin with olive undertones? Then choose shades that are described as “cool.” Next, how long do you want this new color to stick around? Permanent color lasts until the next time you dye it, demipermanent color lasts about a month, and semipermanent color lasts approximately a week.
