A hair dryer can be a your hair’s best friend and its worst. Using tools with excessive heat to style your hair can damage your hair. Plus, it’s the middle of summer — you don’t want more heat in your life on top of the near 90 degree weather outside. Put that flat iron away; today, it’s all about styling hair without heat.

REPAIR

Can’t get enough of your hair dryer? Can’t put down the flat iron? Start by using a daily leave-in treatment. We recommend Aveda’s Damage Remedy™ Daily Hair Repair. Not only does this product help with split ends, it repairs hair damaged from heat styling. Use the Daily Hair Repair once a week after you’ve washed and conditioned your hair to optimize results. Damage Remedy™ can sometimes be substituted as a conditioner for hair, but don’t use it as such regularly. Decrease frizz and add shine with this styling product.

STYLE

When you have fine hair, it may be difficult to find a product to prevent it from looking flat. Look no further than Aveda’s Phomollient™ Styling Foam. Ladies with fine and medium hair rejoice! This foam gives your locks that added oomph of volume you’re in need of. While it is recommended for fine and medium hair types, Phomollient™ works on other types of hair as well. Whether you want to wear your hair straight for the day or toss in some waves, Phomollient™ styling foam gives your hair volume and body from root to tip.

HAIR SPRAY

Humidity in the summer in Ohio is a misfortune to gorgeous hairstyles all around. Hair spray is a must in the Buckeye state, but you don’t want to end up with helmet hair. That’s where Aveda’s Pure Abundance™ Volumizing Spray comes in. This hair spray locks dry, styled hair into place — with all day hold. The extra-firm hold benefits every hair type with this volumizing spray. This hair spray boasts agents like acacia gum to add more volume to styled hair and fights against frizz. Pure Abundance™ Volumizing Spray resists humidity all day long. What more could you want in a hair spray?

MOISTURE

You may be surprised to know moisture — the right moisture — can help your hair during summer. For ladies who have extra-dry and coarse hair, moisture is essential all year long. When your hair is damp, and you want to combat future frizz, work in Aveda’s Dry Remedy™ Daily Moisturizing Oil. This oil has zero silicone, so that means you’ll only need a few drops of it to moisturize your mane. Best for daily use, add  Moisturizing Oil after you have showered and washed your hair. Curly and wavy hair can get frizzy on a hot summer day, adding Dry Remedy™ Daily Moisturizing Oil to your hair care routine makes tresses, shiny, soft, and, of course, healthy.

Adding more heat to your hair on a day that’s already hot can take your mood (and your hair style) down a notch. Take these styling tips and products into consideration for keeping your mane looking its best for the rest of the summer.
