Protect Your Hair

Even though I'm a freak about protecting my skin with SPF, I'm not nearly as good at protecting my hair from the sun's harmful rays.  I guess because hair can't get cancer (or on a more shallow note, wrinkles), it just doesn't seem as important.  But every year, the first time I notice my hair getting drier or having more split ends from the rough summer elements, I instantly start to regret not treating it better.  That's why this summer, I'm going to make sure I take care of my hair every way that I can.  Baseball hats, deep conditioning treatments, avoiding chlorine... You name it, I'm doing it.  And I'm starting with Kérastase's Soleil Collection. 

This collection of products is "an exclusive range of haircare treatments tailored to protect and repair every hair type exposed to environmental aggressors."  These aggressors include things like pollution, heat, humidity and the sun, so no matter where you are, you can benefit from these products.  (And really, L.A. is pretty much the perfect storm of these aggressors with the smog and the heat and the sun and... Remind me why I live here again?)  These products all come together to protect, repair, and enhance your hair with advanced technologies that will leave your strands softer and more manageable, and keep your color vibrant and radiant. 

Chroma Protects My Hair

If you can justify any purchase (which I am the queen of) then you'll need to check out Chroma Protect by Kerastase.  Okay, it's expensive.  Seriously expensive.  But, once you get past the (gulp) sticker shock, you'll be so thrilled you did.  This stuff is absolutely amazing - my colored hair has never looked better or been softer.  It's a leave-in conditioner that you only need a tiny amount of.  You know how magazines will say "use a dime-sized amount" and you'll find yourself needing a whole heaping palm full to actually condition your hair?  Well, when using Chroma Protect you really only need a dime-sized amount (I'm not lying, I have long, thick hair and that's all I use) so the tube lasts a long time.  Now, if I haven't given you the tools to justify this purchase yet, let me just add that it smells fresh, doesn't make your hair greasy and if you search online you can usually find a bargain on one of those beauty websites.  Whew.  Justification is hard work, but it's just part of being an obsessive productwhore I guess.
