Beat the Summer Heat with Fantastic Sams!

***Disclosure-I received a gift certificate to review services and shampoo/conditioner to review.  All opinions stated will be based on my personal experience.

It’s officially summer and time for some fun in the sun! Hotter weather is great, but it can also be harsh on hair. Whether you’re looking to lounge on the beach or take up a new water sport, Fantastic Sams wants to make sure your hair stays hydrated and healthy!

Here are some tips to beat the heat from our style expert Pam Kelly:
· To fight frizz, opt for a keratin smoothing treatment. This non-chemical smoothing treatment can last from 30 days to 3 months depending on the type selected for your hair. It provides deep conditioning and seals the hair shaft to make hair humidity resistant.

-Visit your Fantastic Sams stylist for a complimentary consultation to see if a smoothing treatment is right for you!

· The hot sun can damage hair by creating excessive dryness and making hair strands brittle, which may lead to breakage and split ends. Use Fantasticstyle™ Moisturizing Leave-in Conditioner which has UVA/UVB sunscreen to protect hair from the damaging rays of the sun.

· Protect your color! The sun’s heat and UV light exposure can cause natural and artificial color to lighten. Clear glazing treatments will maintain your color between retouches, refresh color and add shine and silkiness. And remember, by using professional salon products such as the Fantastic Sams Color Protect regimen, you can prolong the life of your color under the sun.

· To minimize hair damage over the summer, back away from the dryer and dial down on the hot styling tools! If heat styling is absolutely necessary, make sure you are using Fantastic Sams Thermal Guard for protection!

· Love swimming pools but hate the impact that chlorinated water has on your hair? It’s important to remove chlorine from hair after swimming, so use Fantasticcleanse™ Clarifying Shampoo to rid your hair of unwanted chemicals that can cause damage. And follow up with Fantasticcondition™ Moisturizing Conditioner to keep your hair in perfect moisture balance.
