Salt water, UV exposure, and coastal humidity are tough on color-treated hair — especially in the summer months around Morehead City and Swansboro.

Ask your stylist for a personalized routine — book at https://wildolivesalon.com or call 910.325.7026.

For frizz and dryness — common concerns for anyone living near the water — we love Aveda’s Nutriplenish collection for deep hydration and the Botanical Repair line for strengthening damaged hair.
