health tip

While you go to the pool to get wet, your hair becomes dry — chlorine and sun can wreak havoc on your tresses. It’s best not to get your hair wet, but if you do, use a clarifying shampoo weekly, says Brandy Lewis, stylist at Sizzors Hair Salon, 600 Lawrence Ave. Clarifying shampoos strip the hair of unnatural impurities such as chlorine and prevent the unflattering green cast they tend to create.

If the sun is your culprit, Lewis recommends using Redken UV Rescue shampoo and leave-in conditioner daily to resuscitate your mane.
