Before the warm days of summer are quickly replaced by the defining colors of autumn, it’s utterly vital to soak in the last moments of sun.

Preferably, on a  beach.

Assuming you aren’t one of “those people” whose been hiding from the surgeon general warnings for the past decade, you understand the importance of skin safety. Although I relish the particularly delicious feeling of a bronzed glow, I value the health of my skin, as well as that of my hair.

Shocking, I know, to think that a curl who blogs for a name as prestigious as Ouidad has something to say about sun+hair safety.

Lucky for you (but not for my family) I ALWAYS have something to say. And right now, as I sit here blogging inside a quaint coffee shop in the center of East Hampton, NY, I’ve got something to say about keeping your hair healthy and happy while basking at the beach.

Your hair is like an Elephant-“It remembers everything.” It remembers the perm you may have had, the tacky highlights, the flat irons, the alcohol based products, you get the point.

So, give your hair the opportunity to revel in a happy memory (or two, hey, even three!) and keep it healthy with Ouidad’s Sun Shield & Sport Leave-In spray. All the cool kids/tweens/teens/soccer moms/cougars are doing it too!

Me and my beach must have!

After swallowing enough salt water to bring home for an in ground pool, I like to come up for some air and sometimes even smile for a quick photo with my product of choice.

As you can see above, I’m having a really wonderful time with my Sun Shield Sun & Sport Leave-In Conditioner. Rather than spray sunscreen into my hair post ocean adventures, I sprayed this little gal onto my long/medium length hair.

In addition to providing the utmost protection, it took away that unruly “straw” feeling my hair sometimes gets after a dip in the sea.

Better yet is when I come home for nice long shower (and obviously douse my hair with Ouidad’s Curl Quencher Conditioner) my hair actually says “Thank you for protecting me from the runs UVA+UVB rays and demons of sorts!”

So, my friends, I leave you with this: enjoy the remainder of your summer the smart and healthy way with Ouidad’s Sun Shield & Sport Leave-In Spray.

Summer Lovin’

In honor of my grandpa’s 80^th birthday, the entire family (extended ‘n all that jazz) gathered in Rochester, NY, to properly celebrate my pop’s life.

With 7 hours to spare, my spunky 16-year-old cousin, Lisa, waltzed down the stairs with blond hair, covered in vampire blood. Semi -permanent vampire blood, that is.

Lisa and I!

Yes, Lisa and her band of high school gal pals all decided to be “different” and die their beautiful heads of hair into something that closely resembled that of a scene from the Twilight saga.

Well, one where Edward eats Bella for breakfast during Chapter 1, that is.

After 10 minutes of listening to my Aunt, (Lisa’s mom) interchangeably call her a freak and a vampire, I knew I had to step in, do some damage control and solve this hairy situation.

After washing her hair with some preeeeetty strong shampoo, (we even applied dish detergent to the red stripes directly) Lisa’s hair felt like genuine straw. Because I wouldn’t dare travel without my handy dandy Ouidad weapons, I quickly remembered I’d packed my Moisture Lock Leave In Conditioner.

So, there we were, the two of us sitting in the bathroom bonding over her vampire mishap and my clutch product realization. After applying the Leave-In, I styled her hair curly (using a mixture of the Leave-In and Tress Effects Styling Gel) to help hide the stripes of “blood.”

Not only did the Leave-In make her hair incredibly soft, but it also left her wavy curls controlled. This is EXACTLY why I never travel without this product, especially during the summer; it softens broken ends, smoothes the scars of chlorine, and even helps make (in this case) streaks of morbid vampire blood look a bit more, well, “lively.”

For those of you who’ve abused your hair with blow dryers, flat irons, curling irons, chlorine or even semi-permanaent red dye, Ouidad’s Moisture Lock Leave-In is just for you. It’s light weight texture leaves your hair feeling healthy, not oily, and your curls bouncy, not droopy.

*For best results: mix a little into your normal styling routine or apply directly to your ends while damp.

If Ouidad’s Leave-In could help turn Lisa’s bloody situation around, I think it could save you from your sorry dry woes.

Ouidad the Vampire Slayer Love,

J
