Long on Allure

Quick Tip

*You Don't Need the Green

The minute you step out of the pool, be sure to take a quick shower to wash out the chlorine. It is a bleach afterall and it can dry your hair and your skin. Use a gentle shampoo and then followup with a conditioner. Same goes for your body. Don't forget the lotion, applied over damp skin.

**Chlorine can do some nasty things to color treated hair so wash it out as soon as possible. Who wants a summer of green or greyish looking hair?

*Summer Hair

The sun is hard on your hair, and if you want it to look healthy and shiny, be sure treat it to an intensive conditioning treatment about once a week throughout the summer months.

*Help From A Mousse

To add volume, quite often styling products can help in a big way. Mousse is probably the best product you can use for this purpose and they come in all price ranges.
