In the Nick of Time for Color-Treated or Damaged Hair:Minimize sun and salt water damage to color treated hair by slathering on a deep-conditioner like Aesop's Rose Hair Masque and leaving on during the day. Normally used as a rinse out treatment, a high-protein product will act as a barrier between hair and the elements when applied after a morning shower and rinsed out at night. Ideal in resort situations when you wear your hair in a pony anyway.
Our solution to reducing the damage caused to hair by daily blow-drying is to replace your regular dryer with a diffuser. A diffuser creates gentle heat rather than bursts of hot air. After shampooing, comb hair gently into shape and wrap with a clean, dry towel. Let towel soak up moisture for at least ten minutes.
