While some clients may prefer to let their natural curls reign supreme during the summer months, others may go for a protective style as a low-maintenance option to avoid frizz and beat the heat. Naomi Dove, salon director and Aveda texture team member, is an expert when it comes to texture, haircolor and technology. Here, Dove shares three tips for protective styling.
1. Scalp health is the most important. Use a product like Aveda's Pramāsana Exfoliating Scalp Brush to gently exfoliate and stimulate the scalp.
2. Prevent product buildup. Apply and lightly massage the Nutriplenish Multi-Use Hair Oil every 2-3 days on the scalp to maintain hydration, and along the hairline to break up any product buildup.
3. Protect hair from UV damage. When out in the sun or at the pool, make sure to protect hair from harmful UV damage by generously spraying Nutriplenish Leave-In Conditioner through the length of the hair and around the scalp. This will provide ample hydration and prevent the tight feeling from the scalp that can cause traction, hair loss and breakage.
