Summer may be an especially enjoyable time of the year, but all of that fun-in-the-sun can really wreak havoc on your hair by drying it out, causing the color to lighten and fade, and by causing lots of damage which results in brittle hair. Given that I have curly hair, that I color periodically, I do what I can to minimize sun exposure in order to avoid damaging my tresses. One of my best lines of defense is using moisture-rich shampoos and conditioners to provide as much hydration as possible before I even step outside.
One of my recent haircare discoveries is Cibu, a professional salon line created by hair dressers for their clients. I have been testing out their line created for colored hair along with a detangled and a styling mousse, and I have been absolutely delighted by the extent to which it moisturizes, nourishes and detangles my hair.

Cibu Color Conditioner ($20.00 for 13.5 oz from Cibu): Cibu is not exaggerating in their claim that this is an ultra-hydrating conditioner. In fact, this tames my naturally curly hair so much that I can easily get a comb through it without the need for a detangler or a leave-in conditioner.

It has the same fruity floral scent as the shampoo, but I find that the scent also fades quickly.
