Cut & Style: Score healthier hair while you sleep!

Featured in Cut & Style magazine

Want healthier hair while you sleep? Try an overnight masque treatment! That’s the word from Jet Rhys of Jet Rhys Salons in San Diego, CA. “Your hair is just like your skin-it repairs itself overnight,” she explains. The style pro recommends Vegetarian Miracle by Davines; to use, shower in the p.m. and, when your hair is 80% dry, work in a light smear of the treatment from mid-shaft to ends. Cover your hair in a shower cap, placing three bobby pins on the base of the cap and two at the temples.

“Lie back on a towel placed over your pillowcase,” says Jet. “When you wake up, you’ll be amazed at how healthy and shiny your hair will be!”

A day in the sun may be fun for you, but it can be torture for your hair. Try a keratin treatment. Jet Rhys, owner of the eponymous San Diego salon,
explains this leaves locks smooth and frizz free for up to four months. If that’s not an option, “nothing is more chic than tying a scarf around your head,” she says. “Plus, it controls flyways.” Another one of her favorite ‘dos? A side braid. Take this look into evening by undoing the braid, shaking out the waves, and setting them with Blow Blow Out Spray ($ 19.75).
Get beauty highlights. All of the top colorists are raving about L’Oreal Professional Inoa, a new ammonia-free, moisture-adding salon hair color. Says
Rhys, “I used to advise clients to colorless in the summer, but now I have Inoa. “Just be sure to protect your investment. “UV rays and chlorine bleach out color and zap moisture,” warns Rhys. She suggests spiriting in Rene Furterer Waterproof Moisturizing Fluid KPF 90 ($23) and pulling hair back into a sleek bun.

Do yourself a favor: Schedule at least the next two cuts before leaving the salon.  “Stylists book up faster than people realize,” says San Diego salon owner Jet Rhys, “especially during holidays.”

Self: Chemical Overprocessing

Bleaching and straightening can crack cuticle layers,
making them porous, flaky and coarse.
Fix it now. Use a color-depositing glaze once a week to bring back richness.  (It works whether or not you color your hair.)  These treatments contain sheer pigments and silicone that coat at the cuticle, filling in the jagged areas to restore your tone’s vibrancy.
Prevent future harm. Deep-conditioning masks are like a wheatgrass shot for thirsty, damaged hair.  Parched strands soak up the most hydration from shea butter and fatty alcohols (scan labels for cetyl and stearyl alcohols) as well as olive and nut oils.  Apply the masks once a week to sopping wet hair, then cover with a damp, hot towel.  The heat opens the cuticle, helping the nourishers seep in deeper, says Jet Rhys, a salon owner in San Diego.  Wait about 10 minutes, then rinse with cool water.
