Repair your hair in time for summer air

Your hair takes a real beating during the dry, cold winter months. To get it in spring-ready condition try these simple tips:

1. Deep condition on dry hair. I like Leonor Greyl's Palm Oil treatment.

2. Wash with a gentle soap. I like Philip B's Lavender shampoo, which cleanses without stripping.

3. Get a trim. Cutting off dead ends is the quickest way to make a real change. For a great trim try Tigerlillie in Lincoln Square. For a cheap trim try Aveda Institute Chicago.

4. Protect hair from the sun as we move forward through the warm weather. Sun damage can do just as much harm as sub-zero temps. A color-free glaze can help protect your strands, as well as an spf spray for those with color. Investing in a good (stylish) hat wouldn't hurt either.
