your hair from the elements, your dazzling 'do may be brittle, dry and plagued with split
ends come fall.

Instructions

• STEP 1: Prevent green hair with an anti-chlorine shampoo and conditioner if
your summer plans include a lot of pool time. Use a moisturizing shampoo and
conditioner a few times a week to combat any dryness caused by daily exposure
to the sun.
• STEP 2: Do a hot oil hair treatment followed by a clarifying shampoo about three
times a month. The oil treatment offers a moisture surge and adds luster, while the
shampoo will remove any residue of chlorine, salt, sunscreen and styling
products.
• STEP 3: Protect your hair and scalp from the damaging rays of the sun. Talk to
your hairdresser or beauty supply store about creams and spray treatments that
offer sun protection.
• STEP 4: Alternate your updos. Minimize the breakage caused by tight or frequent
ponytails by pulling your hair back with headbands, hair sticks or hair clips
instead.
• STEP 5: Remember that color-treated hair will fade faster when exposed to the
direct rays of the sun. Hats or head wraps are a must. Find out which sun-
protection hair product is best-suited to your hair.
• STEP 6: Skip blow-drying and the use of hot rollers and curling irons whenever
possible. When it's a must, always use heat-activated styling products, particularly
at the ends, to guard against drying.

How to Trim the Back of Your Neck

You can solve one of life's pesky little problems with a few quick strokes of a razor.

Instructions

• STEP 1: Loosen your collar or remove your shirt.
• STEP 2: If you're using an electric trimmer, set it on its closest setting and turn it
on. If you're using a razor, apply a small amount of shaving cream to the back of
your neck.
• STEP 3: Begin trimming, using two mirrors if possible. Working in vertical lines,
run the trimmer up the back of your neck from the base to the hairline. If you're
using a razor, shave down in short strokes from the hairline to the base of the
neck.
• STEP 4: Even out the hairline as necessary.
• STEP 5: Wipe off the shaving cream or brush off the clippings.
