Highlights From the Article:

Summer Hair: Just in time for Summer protect your hair and scalp from the sun with the NEW Redken Color Extend Sun Solar Screen SPF 12, $16. I live in very sunny Scottsdale Arizona and I use Color Extend Sun Solar Screen often. It smells amazing and keeps my blonde highlights fresh and my hair super soft.

“Color Extend Sun Solar Screen SPF 12 is particularly recommended for stylists and consumers with side/middle/fringe parts, thinning hair, receding hairlines, or light-colored hair, and are looking for a multi-tasking product to protect their hair and scalp from UV damage while helping to protect and replenish the hair,” states Rodney Cutler, Redken Brand Ambassador and owner of Cutler/Redken Salon. “It is highly recommended to use the protective treatment at the beach or by the pool and for people who work outdoors and/or who play outdoor sports.”

The store What Goes Around Comes Around takes me (Marta Walsh) back to my New York University (NYU) years as a business student. I once bought my very favorite vintage blue bell bottom cords which I wore till I had holes in my pockets. I remember thinking I’m going to wear them till I’m 80. LOL
