DON’T SAY GOODBYE TO SUMMER – HOW TO KEEP YOUR SUMMER HAIRSTYLE THROUGH FALL

As you may already know this, I have been very privileged to be part of one of Canada’s Top Fashion Magazine, the Fashion Magazine’s Beauty Panel. A panel of experts on beauty, skincare and make-up, the BEAUTY PANEL is comprised of beauty bloggers from all over the country! I have been a lucky contributor since the beginning of the summer (BIG THANK you to my dear friend Elaine Atkins of Toronto Beauty Reviews for the push and encouragement) and have been having a tremendous time doing it.

Each week we are given beauty challenges and each expert provides their expert point of view. Last week’s post was all about summer hair! Frankly for me, it’s more don’t say goodbye to summer yet… or ever! I do love summers forever, what can I say?

See below for more on this hair challenge or visit Fashion Magazine’s Beauty Panel on what’s make take on this challenge, plus to see all the other challenges in the past!

Beauty Challenge: What’s your go-to summer hairstyle? See the answers now! »

“Both Twenty York Street’s Marilou Moles and Stealing Beauty’s Alexa Lowe are strong believers of hair masks. Not only will it make your hair look moisturized and sleek, it’s the perfect way to keep your hair healthy and protect it from the summer sun. While JJ Cowan of SFYGF has tried everything to minimize the volume of her hair during summer months, a recent discovery made all the difference in getting it silky smooth. And if you’re looking for an effortless hairstyle, A Pop of Colour’s Shayna Wiwierski has a great summer suggestion that includes a simple fishtail braid. After all, if you can’t beat the heat, you may as well work with it.”

There’s no doubt that summer is my favourite season of the year! Not only that the living is easy and the dressing is light but summer hair is also carefree! 
 
I have been very blessed to have a hair that goes down super straight at any time of the day. (Okay, it could equally be a curse when I need to curl my hair for special occasions.) I stay away from any heavy products and styling tools and normally would just air-dry my hair after using Thann’s gentle and nourishing Aromatherapy shampoo and conditioner.
 
If there’s one thing I’m vigilant about, it’s protecting my hair from the sun’s harmful UV rays. I use Thann Shiso Hair Mask three times a week. This hair mask not only keeps your hair protected against the elements but it gives your hair that smooth, silky and healthy feel all summer long!

Products used: Thann Shiso Hair Mask, Thann Aromatic Wood Shampoo and Conditioner in “Oriental Essence”. For more info about THANN, visit www.thann.ca.

As for the outfit, see breakdown below! Btw, in case you are wondering, yes, this was me going to a Montreal grocery store (a quaint and pretty grocery store if I may add) to buy some items for a very special birthday party we were invited to!
