5 Steps to Summer-Ready Hair

summerhair_summerhair.jpgI know it's still spring, but it's starting to feel like summer. Thoughts of summer evoke visions of sun-kissed hair that gently blows in a warm breeze.

The truth of the matter is that summer sun can be as rough on your hair as it is on your skin. Overexposure to summer sun can cause weak, dry, brittle hair that often turns to a faded or brassy color. Being aware of what the sun can do and being proactive to preserve and protect your hair is the first step to keeping it healthy all summer long.

So what can you do now to prepare your hair for summer?  Start with these 5 tips for summer-ready hair.

In addition, peruse magazines for easy summer hair styles. Look for braids, twists and knots that don't require styling tools. Keep your hair coloring gentle to prevent the summer sun from playing havoc on your hair. Thinking ahead will help to guarantee great looking hair all summer long.

Help me! I am allergic to all hair color, and my hair is very salt and pepper (more salt than pepper!). The grey does age me. What can I do????????????

Cindy -- You're so right about ditching the dye -- a PPD allergy is nothing to fool around with. It can lead to all sorts of allergies to common household products and medications. But do not despair. There's a whole website where you can see lots of great grays (and those transitioning to gray) who didn't find it aging at all. In fact, just the reverse. Many of these women also developed allergies to hair dye, so you'll be in good company. Anyway, come visit and discover the secrets to being the best silver-haired beauty you can be!

I have blah blond/brown hair with pale skin and light eyes. I don't want to be a blond like everyone else in southern California. Can I go darker? Any tips?
