WITH A SHIELD

“In the summer, it’s especially important to protect your hair in harsh environments, such as busy cities where the pollution is heavy and there’s exposure to the elements like UV rays, changing temperatures and humidity,” says New York Citybased Kevin Mancuso, global stylist and creative director for Nexxus. Mancuso recommends Nexxus City Shield Damage Defense Crème ($19), a hairfinishing cream loaded with wheat protein and Indian lotus extract, which forms a protective barrier—like wearing a sun hat on the beach.
