Protect your haircolor against it’s worst enemies- free radicals, heat styling and sun- with Rene Furterer Okara Radiance Serum ($30.00). This formula illuminates hair and enhances color while keeping damaging factors at bay. UV filters shut out the sun’s rays, and vitamin E shields hair from disasterous free radicals. If your color isn’t so new, don’t worry: okara extract, or soy pulp, repairs and rebuilds the damage that’s already been done, while tannin-packed witch hazel seals your color to prevent further loss. A little daily dab is all you need to prolong the life of your color.

Protect your hair from split ends without silicones! Korres Rice Proteins Hair Tips Serum ($23.00) prevents split ends caused by styling and dehydration. This glycerine based formula uses rice proteins, as the name suggests, to make hair more elastic and capable of holding up against abuse. Thirsty ends will be hydrated by provitamin B5, which goes deep in the hair shaft to help you hang onto moisture. Unlike other formulas that make your hair feel filmy and dirty, this serum uses the natural resin Chitosan to protect, without buildup.
Use the formula on ends only for every day protection and moisture.

Bad weather doesn’t have to mean a bad hair day! Follow these easy tips to prepare yourself for what Mother Nature might throw at you (and your hair!) :
-Apply a frizz-fighting serum to towel-dried hair. Use a wide tooth comb to evenly distribute.
-Blow hair dry using a large round brush (like this one, $12.99)- this smooths the cuticle from root to tip.
-Straighten one inch sections of hair to make your locks more resilient against humidity.
-Use a headband or pull hair into a low bun for the commute. This prevents your hair from getting windblown on the way to your destination.
-When you get indoors, let your hair down and admire your soft, shiny style!
