Having hair troubles this summer season? I have a few tips that will hopefully help ease your pain! If your hair is feeling dull and faded shampoo with baking soda  or a clarifying shampoo to remove smog. Higher summertime pollution means more free radicals to zap the shine and color from hair. To remove dulling residue, add a pinch of baking soda to your regular shampoo instead of using a harsh clarifying cleanser. It rinses out chemicals without stripping color. Bonus: This trick helps prevent discoloration caused by chlorine and salt water, too.

Sleep on a silk pillowcase. The satiny texture prevents friction from roughing up the cuticle and making hair vulnerable to warm weather-induced frizz. If you’re really ambitious, wrap your hair in a silk scarf before going to bed. Choose metal-free hair bands, avoid ponytail holders that are joined with a small metal bar. They can snag hair and cause split ends, especially when hair is wet and weaker after swimming. Instead, look for ties covered entirely with snagproof fabric.

Use a makeup brush to boost hair shine. Shine products help restore lost moisture and luminosity from increased sun exposure and hotter temperatures, but many contain heavy silicones that can weigh hair down. The solution? Spritz shine spray onto your blush brush and then sweep over hair. The soft bristles help to apply precise, targeted shine without weighing down hair.
