Kelly Mulrooney Johnson’s summer cut and style is a short bob, said her stylist, Danny Stevenson. Johnson wears it shorter in the summer because she spends much time outdoors with her 8-year-old twins.Got the summer hair blues?
Stylists say the combined effects of sun, wind, salt and chlorine can be hard on the hair.
“This is something I have preached for years,” said local stylist Danny Stevenson, owner of a namesake salon on South Broad Street. “Dry hair is porous. If you get in the pool or ocean, (hair) is going to soak up the chlorine and salt. If you wet hair and coat it with a little conditioner, it won’t.”
Stevenson advised spraying a mixture of conditioner and water on hair before swimming or going out in the sun. “You’ll be getting a deep conditioning job with no effort.”
In a CBS “Early Show” interview, celebrity stylist David Evangelista said simply wetting the hair with tap or spring water can help.
