If your summer travel schedule is OOC, these single-serving Ouai Treatment Masks are your strand savior. Slather them on color-treated hair before hitting the beach or if you like to multitask while you mask, try celebrity hairstylist and Ouai founder Jen Atkin’s tip of applying the mask to dry hair before hitting a spin class. If you’re a curly girl, Kerastase curl expert Kattia Solano says to apply Kérastase Masque Curl Ideal just to your ends overnight to replenish moisture.
Mend Your Ends
For straight or wavy hair, Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Fresh Cut Split End Mender will take your frazzled hair to a visibly sleeker state. This fast-absorbing, lightweight lotion is like a veritable hair time machine. It mimics the look of a fresh trim by sealing ragged ends and improves your blowout game considerably by making the shape of your hair look more smooth.
Go On Heat-atus
An in-salon keratin treatment ups your air-dry game, keeping you from damaging your ends further with heat tools. One to try: The Cezanne Perfect Finish Keratin Smoothing Treatment, which starts at $350, smooths strands using sericin, a different active ingredient than other keratin treatments on the market. “It’s produced by a silkworm and wraps around each hair strand to smooth it, which is what makes this a game-changer,” Butterfly Studio stylist Dana Tizzio says. Another option that’s more wallet-friendly and DIY (bonus!) is John Frieda Frizz Ease 10 Day Tamer, which helps shield hair from humidity-induced frizz while smoothing in the process. One application will keep your hair flyaway-free for up to 10 days. To create smooth waves while you air-dry, spin your hair into 3-inch spirals using the Twirler Brush.
Foil In-Need-of-a-Trim Ends With Oil
Serge Normant stylist Matt Fugate likes to use oils on his clients to give the look of hair health. “They make hair look shiny and healthy and if used on the ends you don’t get the greasy look,” he explains. For fancy French girl hair, do as les Français and apply some to your dry hair as a pre-shampoo treatment for at least 15 minutes before stepping into the shower. One to try: Leonor Greyl Protecting And Beautifying Oil For Length & Ends.
Gellin’ Not Like a Follicular Felon
The ‘90s are back in myriad ways from chokers to vampy lips, but one place the era has yet to make a cameo is super-crunchy curls — luckily. The key to keeping spirals soft is an oil-infused gel formula like It’s A 10 Miracle Defrizzing Gel, which reduces frizz while imparting moisture to keep ends in good condition.
Protect And Perfect
Dana says it’s all about shielding your hair from damaging UVA and UVB Rays. “A nourishing leave-in conditioner with SPF built in like Oribe Supershine Moisturizing Hair Cream will protect hair from the sun’s UVA/UVB rays and keep strands healthy,” she says. She likes the regular version for medium and thicker hair and opts for the light iteration for finer hair. “They work like an umbrella and will keep hair moisturized to prevent drying.” Dana also says to always use a heat protector before blow drying. “Make it non-negotiable and your ends will remain shiny and healthy,” she notes. She likes Kérastase L’Incroyable Miracle Reshapable Heat Lotion. “It has amazing shape memory with the right amount of hold, allowing you to set and reset your style without having to start from the beginning,” she says.
