As the season changes, so does our hair. From winter winds causing dry, brittle strands to summer heat causing frizz and dehydration, our strands need major nourishing this summer. And let’s be honest, summer is the time to experiment and have fun. Flat, boring strands are so last season and it’s time to add color, texture, volume and pizzazz to our tresses.
While we have our tried-and-true hair routine, there’s always wiggle room to add in a few additions. We rounded up nine must-try summer hair products that will give you the most coveted tresses in town.
