Tips for winter

- Hair tonic will help your hair and invigorate your scalp.
Tips for spring
- Continue with conditioning treatments

Tips for summer
- Custom hair spray – Combine in a spray bottle ½ oil free high SPF lotion with ½ normal hair spray. After shampooing and conditioning, spritz the mixture while your hair is still wet. Repeat the process when it dries. Your shag will have a greater hold in the wind and will gain protection from harsh weather.
- Exposure to water – Greater safeguard is required for water play. Use a water resistant protection application. Alternatively, before swimming combine suntan oil (waterproof, high-protection) with conditioner and evenly rub into your hair. Apply this concoction after swimming. Your hair will acquire a nice wet look while protecting your shag from harsh chemicals like salt and chlorine.
- Conditioning – use a pre-shampoo deep conditioning treatment weekly.
