When summer comes to its end, and there is school seen on the horizon, most girls wish their hair to look well after sun, wind, sea and salt. The following steps should be taken in order to get hair back into healthy and shiny mode for coming school days.
1. It would be good to have a trim done, with the help of which all split ends, left from sun and surf will be removed. Though, there is no necessity to get a drastic hair cut in order to avoid a back – to – school hair trauma, as only a minimum trim will get hair into their healthy mode with minimum stress.
2. In case if there is lots of chemical or environmental buildup on the hair, a good detox or chelation shampoos are preferable to be applied. The detox shampoos will provide all toxins and other harmful minerals, which can be clogging up the hair shaft, complete removal. In case if someone wants to try a chelation shampoo, it should be chosen carefully, and applied not oftener than one time a month in order to prevent hair from getting damaged.
3. A good hair conditioning treatment is a good idea for getting hair back into healthy look. It is advisable to provide a deep hair revitalizing treatment after hot sunny summer days.
4. As a perfect option a hot olive oil deep treatment has always been considered. For those, who decide to do it, here come the instructions to follow:
Only extra virgin oil should be applied for hair treatment. This can be easily purchased at the nearest grocery store;
The necessary amount of oil (about ¼ to ½ of it depending on the hair length) is to be heated in the microwave until warm, though not hot;
After being heated to the necessary temperature, the olive oil is to be applied to the hair ends and dry parts of the hair with fingers in the most careful way. While the oil application process, it is necessary to remember, that it should not be neared to the scalp, if the hair is oily by its nature;
After the olive oil has been applied, some old shower cap should be put on. It is preferable to use some unnecessary shower cap, as the oil is usually hard to remove from it.
A hot towel should be wrapped around the shower cap in order to provide deeper treatment. After about an hour, the head is to be unwrapped and the olive oil is to be washed out with the help of some mild or moisturizing shampoo and a hair conditioner would also be useful to apply. It should be pointed out, that shampoo is not to be overused, and only one good application would be enough to remove the oil completely. The hair should better be let air dry for the maximum effect of the olive oil treatment.
The olive oil treatment should better be conducted by the end of week, somewhere on Friday or Saturday night, though never before someone’s going out. The reason is that it is quite a messy procedure. Because of the same, it is to be done in the bathroom, with some clean rags being available to wipe out any accidental drips or spills.
5. Because it usually takes sometime to learn to style a new haircut, drastic hairstyle changes should be avoided shortly before school days begin. Though, when someone must give in to the itch for a hairdo change, some subtle changes, like adding bangs, changing bangs, adding some new part, changing an old part, adding some new hair accessories, etc. can be made.
6. As for hair jewelry and other hair accessories, they are very popular nowadays. All kinds of headbands, butterflies and beaded hair clips are extremely hot. Besides, hair can be worn in soft pigtails ala Baby Spice or romantic braids. Hair can also be pulled back and clipped with a tortoiseshell barrette.
7. It is useful to try to avoid wearing the hair in such a style, which requires a lot of time and energy waste. In case if someone wants to have some new hair style, this person should wait up until at least he or she has readjusted to the new school schedule before throwing hair worries into the entire mixture.
8. The hair styles for all major school events should be planned beforehand, instead of waiting up until shortly before the Fall Homecoming dance, etc. it would be wise to pick out several hair styles from the very beginning and then either let the hair grow into the desired style or select some new hairstyle, for which it would be enough time to perfect for the coming big event.
9. There are also to be several back up hairstyles, which can be applied in case of emergency. Some scrunchies should be kept on hand for days, when a ponytail would be the only salvation. For this several hair clips and barrettes of different shapes and styles should be purchased in order to be able to play with different kinds of braids, pigtails and buns.
10. It is extremely useful and necessary to get enough sleep, and it is good not only for the hair health. As for hair, it will tend to act up when the person is under stress, not getting enough of rest and / or nutrition. Everyone is to keep in mind, that when the person takes good care of his or her body, it is mostly the hair that shows the results.
