Michaella Blissett-Williams' Summer Haircare Tips
Today, we’re excited to be sharing Brand Ambassador & CEO of Salon 718 Michaella Blissett-Williams’ expert Haircare Tips for the Summer months!
Summer is in full swing! It’s essential that you protect your hair from sun damage. UVA and UVB rays can damage the outer layer of your hair no matter the hair type, contributing to split ends, discoloration, frizziness, breakage and destroy moisture in your hair.
Wearing hats and scarves can help but to ensure extra protection use PHYTOPLAGE Protective Sun Veil as a sunscreen to guarantee that your hair stays healthy all summer long!

Summer Haircare Tips
Don’t forgo the H2O! You know that water is essential for your body, but did you know that water is essential for your hair? Water makes up roughly 25% of the volume of a single strand of hair! Filling up your water bottle and staying hydrated throughout the summer will keep your gorgeous locks looking and feeling nourished all summer long.
Mask up! Chlorine and Saltwater can rob hair of its natural oils, damaging cuticles, while contributing to hair breakage and weaker strands. You can prevent this damage by using a hair mask with jojoba oil that seals in moisture and is enriched with proteins to strengthen your strands. We suggest our clients use PHYTOJOBA Moisturizing Mask before hitting the water this summer. Don’t forget your swim cap to add a double layer of protection!
Maintain hair health while enjoying all things summer with a simple Leave-in Conditioner routine by Phyto. Using a pea sized amount in the palm of your hand, apply evenly to towel dried or dry hair focusing on the ends. Phyto 7 is infused with seven pure and natural hair protecting and conditioning plant extracts. Shield your hair against sun, pool and salt water damage with Phyto 7.
The skin on your scalp is vulnerable to sunburns, sun damage and most concerning- melanoma. Melanoma on the scalp contributes to 15% of skin cancers, affecting both men and women. The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends using at least broad spectrum 30 SPF and wearing a wide brim hat made with UV blocking material labeled 50+ SPF, as well as using sunscreen that is oil free and water resistant on your scalp.
Detox your hair! Remove chlorine and reset your hair after taking a dip in the pool by using a clarifying shampoo followed up with a moisturizing conditioner. Phytodetox Clarifying Detox Shampoo works in reversing the harmful effects of chlorine by removing chemical and mineral deposits that can damage our hair or discolor our hair leaving the dreaded green tint. Yikes!
Hey Babe! We see that glowing tan, but after your sunbathing session is over lets maintain those summer #hairgoals. PHYTOPLAGE After-Sun Shampoo replenishes the moisture that the sun has parched from your strands. Gently eliminating sand, sunscreen and mineral deposit buildup in your hair and on your scalp. Bonus! You can use PHYTOPLAGE After-Sun Shampoo on your body as well to gently wash away any build up of sand, salt and chlorine.
Curls, coils, and confidence! Protective styling is essential in reducing knots and tangles, keeping the ends of your natural hair healthy while encouraging hair growth through protecting against hair breakage and sun damage. Popular protective styles include braids, buns, knots, locs and twists.
