Summer hair needs
extra special care

HEALTHY, MANAGEABLE
hair is the key to any great sum-
mer style. But sometimes a litde
extra pampering is needed in order
to combat the effects of the sun's
damaging rays and increased hu-
midity.

These are some tips to help

fight summer weather and meet all
your hairstyling needs.
@ The pool or beach can be a
dangerous place for healthy hair.
Salt water and chlorine rob hair
of moisture, leaving it dry, brittle
and prone to split ends and
breakage.

To avoid dull tresses, try
coating hair with moisturizing
conditioner from roots to ends
before swimming. This serves as a
protective barrier between hair
and the water.

Immediately after swimming,

rinse hair thoroughly in cool water
to close the cuticle and reapply
conditioner so the sun’s warmth
can help it to condition the hair.
@ Heat, humidity and perspira-
tion often make hair limp and
lifeless. Try using a volumizing
mousse on damp hair, applied
with a large-toothed comb around
the hairline.

Concentrate mousse on roots,

then dry hair upside down using a
diffuser to create maximum vol-
ume.
@ To combat those troublesome
frizzies caused by extra humidity,
start your daily haircare regime
with a moisturizing shampoo. This
helps tame hair by cleansing,
without washing away its essential
oils.

Also, keep a moisturizing gel
with panthenol nearby to help
keep hair in mace.

@ To prevent hair from over-
heating and over-drying, reduce
the use of tools like blow-dryers,
electric rollers and curling irons.
Instead, use a dryer on the coolest
setting or with a diffuser — and

. How long should my shirt
last?

Your favorite shirt is beginning to

show wear around the collar and
cuffs. You were sure it would last at least
six months, What happened?

Actually, shirts have an average life-
expectancy of 35 to 50 washings. Of
course, this fluctuates depending on the
fibre content of the shirt and the wear and
tear placed on the shirt during use.

Some problems caused during manufac-
turing may contribute to the ‘demise’ of
your favorite shirt, What causes the col-
lar or cuffs to become dingy after only a
few washings or to have a spotted gray
or shiny look in certain areas? Adhesives
used fo fuse the collar and cuffs may be
soil prone, causing graying. Aisa too
much adhesive may have been used to
fuse the collar and cuff and the interfac-
ing. This adhesive can soften with the
heat of pressing and show through the
fabric, giving certain areas a spotty, gray
appearance.

hair than hot ones are.

Also, take advantage of sum-
