Have you considered what different climates do to blonde hair? As you stroll along the seaside in
your brand new bathing suit, gazing at those luscious colors of the ocean; you’d better be wearing a large brimmed hat to protect
your investment under there. The southern sun can strip your blonde color out in a matter of hours and the salt air will expand your
hair shaft to three times its normal size. All of sudden you will have all of this hair, you won’t know what to do with; that has
been stripped of the color you paid for to look so great on your holiday. When you take a dip in the salt water, this too will begin
to lighten your hair that is accompanied with the sun. The best protection is to keep your hair covered when you go outside while in
the heat of south. What if you are in the snow driven north? Usually you wear a head covering anyway to protect the heat from
escaping as you walk. Then, you’ve noticed that when you take your hat off, the “flat head” has developed. All your lovely blonde
hair, outlines the shape of your head. Not, very sexy eh? You’ve arrived at work with rosy cheeks and a red nose while your new
color looks like it was painted on your head. This is worst than you thought. What to do? You run to the restroom and take your
mini blow dryer out while trying to puff it out a bit, but notice the static electricity flying all over in straight wand like
circular movements. What can you do? Cold weather shocks our hair. If our hair could talk it might say something like this to you,
“what are you doing to me? I haven’t deserved this. I’m going to freeze and then faint straight away, in fact, I’m going to punish you for doing this to me.”
Did you bring some hairspray? Spray your hair first before using your blow dryer. Turn your
head upside down and spray then use blow dryer. Now toss it and tumble it where you want it. Use one of those battery filled curly
irons if you have to, to reconnect with your hair. Your hair needs a little heat to forgive you right now. Most women have learned
to carry a “first aid for hair” in their bag because of the weather conditions. This would include: Battery run curling iron, mini
blow dryer(battery operated), spray and gloss if needed.
Your hair can be a whirlwind of activity if you choose it to be, or you can choose a better low
maintenance cut and color. The choosing is up to you and should be in accordance to your personality. Don’t forget, your mate will
have to look at you through your decision. Isn’t it better to hear “ Oh darling, you are gorgeous this morning,” rather then him
hiding behind the newspaper, being polite and not saying anything?
