Summer is an invitation for a more lackadaisical approach to hair. (Hallelujah!) It means letting bangs grow out, letting hair air-dry, getting beachy waves from actually going to the beach and covering up unwashed summer hair with floppy hats. But with the season also comes certain summer hair hazards, like chlorine, UV rays, salt water and humidity -- all of which can lead to pool-hair, fried scalps and frizzy, dried-out, damaged strands.
In the past few years, self-care has been occasionally and incorrectly equated with self-indulgence. Sure, self-care can mean throwing down for spa treatments, a new wardrobe or fine leather goods, but there are plenty of other ways to "treat yo' self." Some of the most powerful and healthy self-care habits for your mind and body are actually pretty simple, not to mention free (or pretty close to it).
Gone are the days when getting your hands on cosmetics from around the world was actually something of a challenge — because now, we have Amazon. And Amazon is a makeup and skincare mecca for all things Korean beauty — after all, shipping tends to be fast and reasonable, and you can get pretty much anything you can imagine. So, what are the things you should be keeping your eye out for next time you're indulging in a little online retail therapy?
Let's be honest. Summer is a magical time for us. But for our hair, not so much.
While we take in all the fun, our hair takes a beating, courtesy of the sun, salt water, chlorine and around-the-clock A/C. The result: seriously damaged hair, just begging for moisture. That's where a damage repair mask comes in. Since we're not going to stop living our fun summer lives (YOLO), we need a hair mask that will repair damaged strands and effectively erase the signs of summer.
