With summer winding down and fall on its way, now is the perfect time to start repairing your hair. Warm summer days mean extra time outside. This could mean that your hair needs some extra help to moisturize and repair split ends. Say bye to damaged hair and split ends with expert tips from Professional Hair Stylist (www.abhairla.com) and the Founder of the Ferrum Professional Styler (ferrumiron.com) Barbara Abbasi.

Simple Solutions – Sometimes the answer to a complicated question is simpler than you think. You can easily rid your locks of split ends and damage with a simple trim or cut. The best cut to make hair appear thicker and healthier is a cut with layers that is medium to medium-short in length. Hair that is below your shoulders is great to avoid summer frizz but can weigh down your hair making it look less voluminous in the fall. Top it off with a deep conditioning treatment for shine to restore your hair’s healthy glow.

Give Your Hair a Break – Don’t overheat, over-style and overdo your do. Take a break from your regular morning maintenance routine. After showering, section your hair into four parts. Twist the bottom strands so that your hair is twisted from top to bottom and roll into a bun and clip or tie it. Repeat for each section and let your hair air dry. Once dry, let your locks loose for beautiful natural looking waves. To avoid dry and drab hair this summer, consider trying natural hair care products. Stay away from hair chemicals, limit dying and over-drying your hair and don’t use hairstyling tools that damage hair.

Using the Right Tools – It’s all in the tools. Using the right tool is key to restoring and maintaining healthy hair. Opt for products that don’t dry and fry your hair. Want straight locks? My recommendation is the Ferrum Professional Styler (www.ferrumiron.com). Ferrum straightens while retaining volume, moisture and shine. What makes Ferrum different? One part non-heated padded fabric element and one part tourmaline coated ceramic plate. The real distinction of this tool is the fabric padded side. The fabric is a combination of lightweight, anti-static polymers that allows the hair to “breathe” while straightening.

Get Professional Help – Summer sun could turn your lovely dyed hair into a complete dry and discolored disaster. Before turning to DIY hair color kits—seek professional help! Your first end-of-summer color application should likely be completed by a professional to avoid further damaging your precious locks.
