I just had my hair returned to it’s, ummmm, natural state on Saturday morning. It’s a delicious yummy raspberry chocolate color – can you tell I’m hungry as I write this?!
I knew I’d be doing some pool time in preparation for ANOTHER wedding, so I asked my gal how I could keep the color from being bleached out from the sun. She told me to buy a great sunscreen for hair product (by Aveda) and to avoid Chlorine.
I instantly agreed to get the sunscreen and to wear a hat while I’m laying out, but I also knew that avoiding the pool was out of the question because it’s been so stinkin hot, so she gave me the most genius tip ever!
Our hair is like a sponge, she said. If you wet it FIRST with clean water from a shower, or even a hose, it won’t be able to absorb the Chlorine, which is known to damage color!
Sounds silly and simple, but hey, keeping my hair from being grey is an expensive task…and I’ll use any tip that prolongs the life of the color! It works for me, and I hope it works for you, too! To see other great tips, check out Works for Me Wednesday!
