Banish buildup and residue with Fresh Soda Shampoo ($26.00). Made with bicarbonate of soda, this shampoo helps to clarify hair and scalp to intensify volume and fullness. Extracts of mint and rosemary revitalize and stimulate, while lavender lends a balancing, toning effect to your scalp to control oil that may accumulate through the day and weigh hair down. Use every day, or anytime you want to make a fresh start!

Nourish out of condition, dry, frizzy hair with Weleda Rosemary Hair Oil ($12.00). This deep conditioning treatment contains clover blossoms, as well as burdock root and rosemary, to moisturize and soothe hair and scalp. This product helps to seal the cuticle, smoothing hair and also preventing damage (including that caused by chlorine and salt, making this a great product for those who spend time in the pool or ocean!). Use just on ends, or smooth a few drops through hair and rinse. This product can also be used as a hot oil treatment, or a leave-in.

Make An Avocado Hair Treatment!

Avocados aren’t just healthy for your body; they can work miracles on your hair! With 15% fat content, avocados are super moisturizing. They also are rich in several beneficial B vitamins, as well as vitamins E and K. Let your hair soak up some of their nutritional bounty by making your own avocado hair treatment right at home! Combine one half to one full avocado (depending on hair length), one egg yolk, and one half teaspoon of olive oil. Apply all over hair before shampooing, and leave on thirty minutes or longer. Rinse out, and shampoo and condition as usual for softer, shinier hair!

Healthy Summer Hair From Phyto

Protect your hair from sun, wind, salt and chlorine through all of your summertime activities with Phyto Protective Beach Spray ($20.00). UV filters shield hair from the sun’s damaging rays, while olive oil moisturizes and repairs hair to help it resist breakage. Extracts of calendula, willow and rosemary add extra nourishment for hair and soothe sun-exposed scalps. Spray on wet or dry hair before exposure (remembering to reapply after swimming!), for soft, shiny hair that won’t be weakened by sun or sea.

Refresh Your Style

Give your ‘do a mid-day (or midnight!) pick me up with Aveda Light Elements Reviving Mist ($16.99). This formula actually helps remove buildup and oil that have accumulated throughout the day to make hair feel lighter and refreshed. Spray on to reactivate styling products or prep hair for new styling. It’s even a great option when there’s no time to wash (but you really need to!). Your hair won’t be weighed down or flattened, just fresh and clean!

Miraculous Monoi

An ancient Polynesian beauty secret can still give you strong, beautiful hair today: monoi oil. A blend of coconut oil and the exotic tiare flower, this oil is scrumptiously scented (like a floral-accented cake) and powerfully moisturizing.

Monoi oil can be used as an overnight oil treatment to heal dry hair, soothe irritated scalps and seal split ends. Coat your hair evenly, cover with a shower cap, and sleep on it. Wash in the morning with your usual shampoo and conditioner, and discover healthy, island scented hair! If your hair tends to be oily, apply only to ends.

One to try: The Body Shop’s Spa Wisdom Monoi Miracle Oil ($20.00) can be used as a bath oil and moisturizer in addition to hair treatment!
