So the summer is upon us and most people a relaxing in the pool. As I walked past a public pool packed with men, women, and children in search of a summer time cool down…I just realized that I haven’t shared with you how to protect your hair from the harmful effects of the chlorine. This is especially true for those of us with chemically treated hair (hair color, relaxers, perms).

Chlorine left in your hair can severely damage your hair. Hair can be dried to the point of being lightened in color and having a negative change in texture.  This of course will lead to breakage.

It’s simple! Wet your hair before going into the pool. This is done to fill up all “openings” in the hair shaft with water rather than drying chlorine. Next apply leave in conditioner to your wet hair. This will also help to keep the chlorine from penetrating your hair as deep.

After you get out of the pool, make sure to shampoo your hair with clarifying shampoo. Clarifying shampoo is the only shampoo that will remove chlorine from your hair. The clarifying shampoo will actually remove all products and residues from your hair. Clarifying shampoo should be used sparingly if your hair is chemically treated. It should also be followed by a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner.

You’ve finally met Mr. Right! Now it’s time to plan the wedding including the look you’ve dreamed of.  Hiring a professional hair and makeup artist will help make your day perfect.

Trusting your look to a professional artist will insure you look your best. A professional artist will emphasize your best features and enhance others.  They can provide you with hair and makeup that lasts all day and looks great with flash photography. This will be one of the most photographed days of your life.

To find an artist try search engines and social networks such as Facebook. When choosing an artist, review their online website or portfolio.  Look for images of hair and makeup styles similar to the look you desire.  For example, if you want natural makeup, make sure that look is displayed in their portfolio.

Once you have narrowed your search to a few artists, interview each. Compile photos to better explain the look you desire. Digital images can be easily emailed before your wedding trial. Discuss your personal style and the look desired with each artist, taking note of their suggestions. You can even design a hair and makeup look for your bridal party. Ask which brands of hair products and makeup they utilize. Is there a trial fee? Is there a deposit required? Be prepared to invest an average

$150 for each wedding day hair and makeup service.

Schedule a trial 2-4 months before your wedding after interviewing and selecting your preferred artist.  This will help you evaluate their skills as an artist, as well as determining if the two of you work well together. Most importantly, the trial will help you decide if th

e look you desire is the right look for you. Ask an honest friend, who understands beauty and wants the best for you, for feedback at the wedding trial.

Securing an artist will be a huge relief and help you to relax on this lovely, yet busy day.

One Shoulder + Asymmetrical Twist

, like the bow on this design, request a style that’s anchored to one side, opposite the strap. An off-center chignon echoes the asymmetry of the neckline and feels sexy and modern. Ask your stylist for brushed-out curls twisted to one side and pinned loosely. Kennedy gown, $3,850, Amsale

Off the Shoulder + Faux Bob

Because this neckline creates a lovely frame for your collarbone, a hairstyle that falls right above your shoulders is an excellent choice. Ask for a “faux bob” (anyone with shoulder-length or longer hair can wear it). After curling hair, tuck it under at the nape of your neck in sections and secure with bobby pins. Then gently muss the sides and the crown, allowing the curls to softly frame your face. Gown, Style 3003, about $2,300, Eugenia. Olive comb, $70, Tigerlilly

Trending Now: The Side Braid

We’ve been seeing it on fashion runways and red carpets; it also totally translates to the aisle. The style works best with romantic looks, like the embroidered design here. Try it with an illusion, asymmetrical, or strapless neckline. Sky gown, $3,900, Claire Pettibone
