Summer Season: Tips to Take Care of Your Hair in the Summer Season

High performance haircare is essential. Cleanse and nourish your hair with perfectly PH balanced shampoo and conditioner for not only healthy hair but a healthy scalp too. In 90% of cases, make sure to use a conditioner. A conditioner like the Iles Formula Conditioner repairs and nourishes without ever leaving residue behind. Hence, no need to worry about weighed down the hair on hot days. This conditioner is exceptional in that it leaves no residue of silicon that weighs hair down and no build-up of protien or keratin that are known to eventually have a reverse effect and cause breakage over time.

You already know it, but we will say it again: if you are spending time outside you should be using sunscreen on your skin. What you may not know is that your hair needs protection from the sun too. Sun protection for hair can be as simple as wearing a hat. It is important to keep your hair protected from the sun all year long because it can do some damage, even on the most overcast of days.

Did you know there is a UV hair serum that exists that will never weigh your locks down?

A dip in the saltwater followed by some sun and breeze may give you that sexy beach look, but it can also create damage. Seawater and chlorine can strip hair of its essential natural oils and dry out lengths significantly.

Hand-picked, custom blended ingredients including vitamins, nut oils, silk, and ceramide, feed the hair with nothing but goodness without ever weighing it down. What an effortless solution for many holiday hairs niggles!

Suffering from Heat Frizz?

Winter Season: Tips to Take Care of Hair in the Cold Season

Winter weather is harmful to your skin, but what about the havoc it wreaks on your hair? Think about it. Winter means dryness; it is dry outside and its dry inside. When the weather cools down, we turn on the heat and that causes even more moisture to evaporate! A lack of moisture means curls can deflate, or become a crackly, frizzy mess… skin and hair can feel drier than normal.

Nourish Dry Hair

When winter sets in, we use the best moisturizer to prevent our skin from dryness and flakiness, but what good do we do to our precious locks? If you are not using winter protection for hair like PH quality products and sunscreen, you might experience damage. Telltale signs of dryness can resemble coarse, brittle hair that over time suffers breakage.

Before the cold weather creates havoc on your hair, it is time to keep your tresses nourished and hydrated by investing in a good-quality haircare.  Talking about an effective hair routine, using serum after shampooing and conditioning your hair is something you should never avoid doing. The Iles Formula Finishing Serum can protect your hair from UV exposure, color fade, and humidity, especially if you have damaged hair. It will help leave hair looking healthy and feeling resilient.

Dealing with Humidity and Frizzy Curls

Humidity comes in the form of heat or cold and the wet atmosphere is the culprit.

Use a PH balanced high-performance shampoo and conditioner such as the Iles Formula Shampoo and Conditioner which are perfectly PH balanced delivering nurtured hair from the first use.  As your protector from both extreme heat and cold the Iles Formula Curl Revive is the go-to protector against extreme hot and cold and humidity.  Apply liberally throughout the hair daily. Try not to disturb the curls too much while drying. Dry either with a diffuser or allow the hair to dry naturally.
