"Before you go to the beach or have a pool day, apply Virtue Split End Serum or Recovery Conditioner throughout mane to help keep your colour looking glossy and last longer."

"Definitely the Restorative Hair Mask by the pool/ beach. I will leave the mask in my hair and twist it in a bun while I’m out in the sun to keep it from getting dehydrated. I also love to run the 6-in-1 Styler through dry hair (second day hair) and braiding it before bed to create beach waves. Then, I run Unfrizz Cream through my hair the next morning to piece it out."
"Also, for my curly hair, when I’m on a no-wash day, I’ll wet hair it in the shower with water only and condition ends with Smooth Conditioner. Then, as hair starts to air dry, I’ll apply Moisture Whip mousse throughout to create hold and give my natural curls the perfect bounce and frizz-free look."

"My two fave summer hair tips that I give all my clients is to wet your hair down in the shower/sink before swimming in a chlorine pool. Since our hair is porous, wetting it first creates a barrier to keep chlorine out of your strands which could dry out your hair! Also, a summer hair must is to use the Virtue Restorative Mask paired with the Split End Serum after being in the sun to restore moisture and protect from damaging UV rays."

"Most important summer hair essential is the Perfect Ending Split End Serum. Always remember to put it on in your ends to keep those flyaways in tact and ends super healthy, you know, like when your on that yacht in St. Tropez;) Keep one at home, and one in your bag so you can apply anytime, anywhere, all day, everyday!"

"Ooh, definitely apply the Restorative Treatment Mask to hair all day on beach or pool days. The heat of the sun will help the mask absorb into strands for the ultimate, healthy hair treatment. Then, rinse out in the evening and you'll have super shiny hair, which you can slick back, braid, or air dry for an incredible, natural look."

"My hair is always crazy, curly, and frizzy. For our recent engagement photos, we had to hike to get to the location for the shoot. That morning, I used Virtue Smooth Shampoo and Smooth Conditioner, then applied Moisture-Defining Whip before blow drying my hair. I set my hair with the Finale Spray while shaking my hair all around, to really give it the tousled look.
I was so sweaty and didn’t have a mirror so, when I finally saw the images, I was shocked at how incredible my hair looked! Now, that is my top summer hair advice, from personal experience!"

"That’s easy! Use the 6-in-1 Styler as a leave-in for beachy, natural texture! While you air dry, use as much as you'd like to keep frizz away. It's freakin awesome, because it won't weigh hair down!
When you need a little pump-up on dry hair, especially after air drying, hit the roots with the Lifting Powder! It pumps up the volume and lasts!"

"Love the look of beachy waves? Here’s how to achieve those perfectly imperfect waves without a curling iron during the summer...
After you wash and conidition with your favorite shampoo and the Virtue Restorative Mask (it will SERIOUSLY CHANGE YOUR LIFE), comb through hair to get out any tangles, and follow by applying 6-in-1 Styler (one of my FAVORITE Virtue products) to your damp hair, making sure it’s evenly distributed.
Then, take different sized sections of hair, twisting all the way down (be sure to alternate the direction you make your twisted sections to ensure a natural wave pattern).
Now, let your hair air dry completely, and once it's completely dry, break up with your fingers to loosen the waves and voila! Beachy waves without using a curling iron or wand!"
