2. FIGHT FRIZZ: Heat and sun oxidize hair color, making it look dry and dull. To seal in shine and rejuvenate hair, Lauren Donald, co-owner of Bond Street Salon, recommends a keratin smoothing treatment. “Keratin and additional conditioning agents help nourish and strengthen the hair, while restoring smoothness and shine.”
RECOMMENDED PRODUCT: Keratin Complex, Natural Keratin Smoothing Treatment
WHAT IT DOES: This service does not break the bonds, it infuses keratin into the cuticle eliminating up to 95 percent of frizz and curl leaving the hair softer, smoother and shinier. Keratin Complex is a revitalizing, rejuvenating treatment that will replenish lost keratin making the hair more manageable and easier to blow dry.

4. WASH LESS: Embrace natural texture! Frequently washing hair strips the scalp of natural oils, stimulating additional oil production. The solution to this is to wash your hair less; limit shampooing to 2 – 3 times a week. On break days, rinse hair with cold water as it closes the cuticle and locks in moisture. Use a dry shampoo for added freshness + texture.

5. MORE WATER: Even mild dehydration can zap energy from the hair roots and result in hair loss. By drinking enough water (2 – 3 liters daily) can help fight dandruff and hair thinning problems. Water also promotes hair growth and helps fight other hair and scalp challenges.
RECOMMENDED PRODUCT: H20
WHAT IT DOES: Drinking water helps maintain the balance of body fluids. Your body is composed of about 60% water. The functions of these bodily fluids include digestion, absorption, circulation, creation of saliva, transportation of nutrients, and maintenance of body temperature.
