Summer Hair Tips 1-3
1. Condition on the go.
If you're spending the day outdoors, run a dollop of conditioner through damp hair and let the heat help it penetrate, says Hiro Haraguchi of the eponymous salon in New York City. Try Redken UV Rescue Shimmer Defense Daily Care Protective Lotion ($14.95, redken.com for salon locations), which contains a UV filter for added protection.
2. Don't fall flat.
High temps making strands stick to your scalp? Sprinkle roots with a dry shampoo (such as Oscar Blandi Pronto, $18, sephora.com). It soaks up dirt and oil for foolproof volume all day, says Gina Bertolotti, senior stylist at Oscar Blandi Salon in New York City.
3. Ditch the blow-dryer.
Skip using heat and rely on a super-absorbent towel (like the Aquis Microfiber Hair Towel, $18, drugstore.com) to remove moisture, says Kattia Solano, founder of the Butterfly Studio salon in New York City.
Try It! Apply a gel, part on one side, then gather a ponytail, twisting until hair wraps into a loose bun. Secure with hairpins.
