Hot dogs and hamburgers aren't the only things that get cooked outside during the summer—hair does, too. Harsh UV rays can take their toll on tresses, especially when combined with salt and chlorine, which drain hair of vital elements like amino acids and keratin compounds, resulting in strands that are dull and brittle. So don't let the summer heat go to your clients' heads. Offer them one of these in-salon, deep-conditioning treatments to restore their hair to top condition.

Redken Chemistry System
What: A two- or three-step service with highly concentrated ingredients that act in synergy with a pH rebalancing system for intense rebuilding.

The final step is an optional, extra-intensive treatment for hair that is applied for five to 15 minutes, then rinsed.
