Yeay! It is finally beach weather. Unfortunately, the ocean, sunlight and
chlorine are not as happy to see me as I am to see them. My first real weekend at the Hamptons left me
with distressed locks and sun damaged hair.
Funny how you can remember to put sunscreen on your face, but then
completely forget to protect your tresses.
Summer sprung up on me out of a long winter and absent spring. I forgot what spending hours outdoors could
do to your skin and hair. I recently put
my hair through a digital perm to get that beach wave look for the days in
between excursions, but it takes some moisture out.
Putting a lot of product in my hair makes it feel greasy
after a few hours. I remembered that I
always used to use Neutrogena as a cleanser in my teen years for minimalist,
effective cleaning power. I was happy to
find that they made a triple hair repair product line.
Testing for myself, I took my suffering tresses to the shower. I used Neutrogena’s Triple Repair Fortifying shampoo
and conditioner to deal with the sand, sun and chlorine damaged hair problems.
After towel drying my hair, I also worked in a dollop of the
Neutrogena Triple Repair Fortifying Leave-In Treatment. It helps me repair breakage and reduces split
ends by about 97%. Most noticeably, the
treatment keeps the flyaways and frizzy strands from standing up from my
head. What is it with the humidity and
dry hair that makes you look like an extra from “Something About Mary” ?
Keeping my hair dryer on medium power, I used my fingers to
gently lift my wet wavy hair to remove the water from my hair. To keep some curl without damaging the strands,
You can gently twist the hair with your fingers while you are drying. If you don’t want the weight of the hair to
pull the crown flat, you can lift at the top and blow dry the hair in the
opposite direction of how it grows.
That’s it. No additional curling irons, round brushes, pins
or curlers. I am a low maintenance girl
when it comes to doing my hair in the morning.
When I hit the beach, I want maximum time for the actual beach.
Sun kissed waves are for the ocean and with
the help of Neutrogena Triple Repair, my hair.
