If you are new to the Reno area and not used to the LACK of humidity and the dry desert heat I hope my blog will give you a little insight going forward on how to protect your hair and skin. You will acclimate. It just takes a bit of help from professional products and a few tips you will get along the way here.

Here are two tips to get this summer block party started!

1. Running/walking is one of the most popular sports this time of year. The thing to think about when doing any sports is the constant tension you are putting on your hair when it is in a ponytail all the time. Make sure you are using cloth bands and not rubber, and be sure not to wrap them too tight. When hair gets wet it swells and can cause breakage if you are putting rubber bands or wrapping the cloth ones too tight. Try an occasional braid to give that same hair a chance to recover now and again.
2. Sun and surf are very damaging to your hair. If you are highlighted, be sure to use a leave-in filler in your hair to protect it from further damage, my favorite one is Rinzu Cover If you are sporting red or any rich brown colors you want to be sure that your leave-in protection has sunscreen in it. These products will save your hair from getting over-processed or washed out with all the UV rays it will be soaking up. This one is brand new on the market and amazing.

Be here next week with tips for camping and chlorination.

Stay cool Peeps!
