Shampoo commercials weren’t lying when they said that harsh elements can damage your hair. When you’re always on the go, enduring sunlight and smoke takes a huge toll on it. Likewise, vacationers also usually get bad hair from chlorine, seawater, and sunlight if not maintained well.
Before going back to work on Tuesday, you should take the opportunity to rejuvenate your locks. The last thing you want is showing up with dry, frizzy, or tangled hair. And no, saying “I woke up like this” isn’t going to save you this time. So give your hair life again with our picks.
