In the words of the late, great Joan Rivers, can we talk? I have a bad habit of riding out a cut for at least 2.5 months in between trims and in that time, to disguise my frazzled, scandalous ends, I become a bit curling-iron crazed. I’ve also found that curling my hair instead of wearing it straight will help me eke out another few weeks out of a color service. So regular rendez-vous with my heat tool of choice is great for my wallet and my look, but it’s not so fabulous for my hair, which needs extra TLC to ward off heat-induced damage. I rely on an ultra-repairing, mega-moisturizing hair-care combo to infuse my strands with the protection it needs to ward off damage done by styling.

Enter CLEAR Active Damage Resist Ultra Nourishing Shampoo & Conditioner, both of which aid in undoing the multitude of hair sins inflicted on my mane daily, while imparting a pretty, fresh scent. I keep the conditioner on for at least three minutes while I shower and also slather a bit on my ends before a Flywheel class for a deep-conditioning moment. May as well put the steamy room to use for more than just calorie torching, no?

This overachiever of a formula reverses visible 100% damage, shine, smoothness and strength, and makes hair resilient to breakage. It’s also formulated Omega 3-6-9 complex, a blend of vitamins and oils for luminosity, smoothness and strength.

CLEAR Active Damage Resist Ultra Nourishing Shampoo & Conditioner retails for $5.89 each at clearhaircare.com.
