Get the Best Treatment Recommendations for Your Hair From Sally Hershberger Salon's Marko!
Summer is over and it’s taken its toll on your hair. Do you have dried, damaged, split ends, frazzled hair that has no shine or bounce? Is it breaking or thin? According to Marko from Sally Hershberger Downtown Salon in New York City, it’s time for the full post-summer treatment. Guys– think of it as a full court press to restore some life, bounce and body to your hair. Girls, you know what it means and you know it means a bit of time and TLC for your hair.
Step 1
Use a clarifying shampoo. You don’t have to use anything terribly expensive. Marko’s secret weapon is Palmolive Soap but you could use Suave or any of the less expensive shampoos like Prell to get that hair clean of unwanted mineral deposits and open up the core of the hair.
Step 2
You need to apply a deep treatment to provide nutrition like protein, minerals, and moisture to the core of the hair.
Marko states, “I suggest using a deep treatment mask made specifically for color treated hair, as those tend to be the most nourishing” He further comments, “Leave your treatment in for twenty minutes to get extra softness and shine without the weigh down.”
One choice that is recommended by many celebrity stylists is Redkens’ Smooth Down Butter. This will give you some deep conditioning and yet not weigh hair down.
Step 3
While Marko doesn’t direct you to continue this, if you have significant damage or not the hair you want, you want to repeat these steps every week or two to give your hair some TLC and get it healthy again and looking gorge for holidays.
Redken Extreme CAT treatment is a great choice for those with extreme damage and need to add protein and lots of other nutrients back into the hair. Particularlly worthwhile using prior to coloring!
Step 4 Between treatments make sure that you get a new cut to get rid of dead ends. If you are planning on coloring your hair, do condition it BEFORE you color it and let it sit on the hair for about 20-30 minutes.
Voila! Great looking locks in nothing flat. This is advice you can take to the bank and count on!!
