Could your sunglasses be destroying your hairline?
This morning I had to switch my sunglasses twice because the frames kept snagging the hair behind my ears. I started freaking out because I immediately started thinking about this guy I know that has little to no hair behind his ears because of wearing sunglasses all the time.
I wear my sunglasses year-round but a lot more in the summer. So this is the time of year that I really start to notice any problems with my sunglasses. Sunglasses with frames similar to the ones below have a tendency to crack and peel over time. Some take longer than others before this starts to happen. I believe my problem started and worsened due to me leaving the shades in a hot car for hours at a time. Plastic melts.
To be on the safe side you may want to invest in a quality pair of sunglasses with frames similar to the ones below. Those frames are a lot smoother and typically made with a hard plastic substance that is less likely to crack and peel like the frames above.
There are quite a few places where you can obtain sunglasses that are affordable:
Aldo
Retro City Sunglasses

If you prefer a pair that is more high end, check out:
Saks
Nordstrom
Overstock

How is your summer regimen looking this year?
The meteorological definition of summer states that it begins on June 1, however our traditional calendars indicate that June 21 is the first official day of Summer. Well, in my opinion it's been hot enough to be summer so I am going to move forward and start implementing my Summer hair care regimen now.
This is another example of giving your hair what it needs when it needs it. Schedules don't always work because your hair can have a mind of its own.
For the past few summers I have following this regimen:
Spring/Summer
Daily
Moisturize (ends of hair if they are exposed & feel dry)
Weekly
Pre-poo (oils)
Shampoo
Deep condition (moisturizing conditioner)
Protective styles M-F, hair out only on weekends
Moisturize and Seal when needed
Monthly
Deep condition with a protein conditioner
Daily
Moisturize (ends of hair if they are exposed & feel dry)
Weekly
Pre-poo (oils)
Shampoo
Deep condition (moisturizing conditioner)
Protective styles M-F, hair out only on weekends
Moisturize and Seal when needed
Monthly
Deep condition with a protein conditioner
It's been working great so I plan on continuing with this regimen. I am thinking about easing up on the shampoo. Not for any real reason - I am just curious about the Curly Girl Method and I want to see how my hair would respond to living without shampoo. I'll try to give it a shot for a month and return with feedback.

Summer Hair Regimen
The summer heat and sun can really stress my hair. It also doesn't help that I decided to dye my hair earlier in the summer. To show my strands some love I had to play around with differnt regeime in order to find out what works for me.
I try to keep in a protective style for at least 3-4 days. I love wearing my hair out in the summer-the wind feels so going blowing it all over the place. After wearing it out I perform my wash & deep conditioning ritual.
An average week looks like this:
Sunday - Wear out
Sunday night - Shampoo/deep condition/Protective style
Monday - Wear protective style
Tuesday - Still Wearing protective style
Wednesday - Wear out
Thursday - Wear out
Thursday night - Co-wash/Protective style
Friday - Protective style
Saturday - Protective style
Products used:
Shampoo - Organics Olive Oil Shampoo
Conditioner - Suave Organics or Aussie Moist
Moisturizer - Shea Butter/Olive Oil Mix
Hair Spritz - Water/Peppermint Oil
