Is your hair in shape for summer?

   The gym was packed last night after work, filled with people sweating it out on the machines, no doubt trying to get themselves ready for summer. I know that's what I was doing there and as I settled into a heart pounding rythm on the stationary bike a question came to mind. How many of these people are taking the time to get their hair in shape for the upcoming season?
   All of us in the Midwest know that winter takes its toll on our hair and skin. The cold, bitter winds suck the moisture right out of us. We spend a great deal of time indoors with the furnace running or in our vehicles with the heater on. Extra time blow drying so that your head doesn't freeze, flat irons, curling irons even tanning beds all contribute to drying you out even further. By the beginning of April your hair is screaming for relief.
   Moisture or protein? Healthy hair has a good balance of moisture and protein.Too much protein can make the hair dry, brittle and prone to breakage. Too much moisture, on the other hand can make your hair limp and hard to control.If your hair is chemically treated or is naturally fine and limp without a lot of body, you may be lacking protein.  Thick, coarse and/or overly curly hair generally requires moisture to put it in a healthier state. If you're not sure, ask your haircare professional as they probably know your hairs requirments better than you do and can advise you as to wich products are right for your hair.
