There’s no doubt that fall has arrived in the Bay Area and the cooler weather is here to stay. As summer comes to an end, many of us find that between the elements, harsh UV rays, and time in both the pool and saltwater, our hair may not look as healthy-looking, vibrant, or be as manageable as it normally is. If you need to get your hair back to its healthy, manageable state before the upcoming holidays, the expert stylists at Special FX Salon can help with end-of-summer professional hair conditioning treatments. 

Conditioner is a must to keep our hair from becoming dry and damaged. Our hair strands are very sensitive and the cells in the outer cuticle layer can easily become damaged. This damage exposes the cortex, leaving you with dry, frayed, fizzy hair. 

When we use a high-quality conditioner on our hair, it helps to restore the bonds between cells so the cuticle layer can lay back down, smooth and flat. Healthy hair strands mean smooth, softer hair with less frizz, and hair that reflects light better so your hair color is shiny, radiant, and lasts longer.

At times, all of our hair needs a deep conditioning treatment. We offer some awesome products to use at home in between your salon visits:

• Redken Extreme Mask: This rinse-out treatment for dry, damaged hair fortifies damaged hair to be 15 times stronger. The Extreme Mask is formulated with Redken’s Strength Complex, Protein, and Lactic Acid, to restore strength, balance pH levels, and add smoothness to your hair. 
• Redken Acidic Bonding Conditioner: This sulfate-free concentrated conditioner is an all-in-one formulate for strength repair for all types of damaged hair. It reinforces weakened bonds to improve strength, provides color fade protections, and intensely conditions the hair for healthy, smooth hair. 
• Pureology Strength Cure Superfood treatment: This deeply fortifying mask heals and protects the hair with essential nutrients. The results are less breakage, less visible split ends, and velvety softness with extraordinary color protection. 

Sometimes, simply using a conditioner at home isn’t enough. At Special FX Salon, we suggest treating yourself to professional hair conditioning treatments at least once a month to repair damage from the summer sun and to continue to protect your hair through the harsh, cold elements of winter.

Our stylists will assess your hair’s condition and recommend which of our conditioning treatments will help you the most to get your hair back to its best condition. Our Conditioning Service is the perfect add-on to any hair service to deeply condition your hair and help repair any damage from the summer months. We also offer our Keratin Strengthening Treatment for damaged hair that needs extra smoothing by adding keratin back into your hair. You’ll get silky, smooth hair that’s infused with keratin protein for added strength and frizz-free styling.
