It’s hard to believe, but summer really is almost here, and that means that many of us will be spending a lot of time in the water, both in the pool and at the beach. But chlorine, saltwater and sun can be harsh on hair. Therefore, the Tonic Shop -- the haircare company that’s all about sun, surf, and style -- has developed several products especially designed for the abuse that hair gets in the summer. The Tonic Shop has generously offered to send one lucky reader of this blog all three of the following products!

Threesome Tonic
Threesome is an innovative all-in-one hair care solution for the active water person looking to get rid of a little extra baggage (and salt): a high-performance shampoo, conditioner and body wash in one convenient bottle. Indulge with a powerful cleansing formula that utilizes a blend of proteins and nourishing botanicals enriched with vitamin B5 to help eliminate salty hair and skin that results from those long sessions. Infused with natural peppermint and tea tree oils to create a multi-sensory experience and stimulating tingle, Threesome replenishes moisture to tired hair and skin worn by the elements. Except for the sandals and smile on your face, no one will know you just got out of the water. From beach break to board meeting, make it a Threesome.
■3-in-1 shampoo, conditioner and stimulating body wash
■Good to you and the environment: Paraben-free, sulfate-free, not tested on animals, contains no animal products or by-products, environmentally friendly and completely non-toxic.
■Detangles, protects and leaves your hair and skin sinfully clean
■Lather into wet hair, rinse, and repeat (if you can handle it)
■$12.00/ 8 oz bottle

Luster Tonic
Luster is a leave-in conditioning mist with powerful UV-inhibitors and natural botanical oils designed to protect hair from the damaging effects of sun, salt, wind and chlorine. Use before or after your outdoor exploits to avoid embarrassing stares, awkward silences and multiple trips to the bathroom mirror. Our unique cream-to-mist technology doubles as a luxurious moisturizer that re-hydrates dull skin with aloe vera and grapeseed oil, leaving a subtle scent of remote tropical islands. Think French West Indies meets the Caribbean with a delicious blend of vanilla, banana and a hint of sparkling orange extract. Luster is the answer to split ends, breakage and dry, tangled hair. From knotty to nice, give a new meaning to surfer hair and luster your locks!
■Leave-in conditioning mist and luxurious body moisturizer made with aloe vera, grapeseed oil and wheat protein, for added volume and protection.
■Good to you and the environment: Paraben-free, sulfate-free, not tested on animals, contains no animal products or by-products, environmentally friendly and completely non-toxic.
■Spray on wet or dry hair, comb through, use generously for sleek, shiny hair. Enviable!
■$14.00/ 8 oz bottle

The Chronic Tonic
The Chronic shampoo and conditioning system is a potent formulation of superior plant-infused ingredients created to cleanse and fortify weather-beaten hair. The lightweight formulas gently cleanse and restore balance while improving the overall condition of your hair with intense shine and added volume. Infused with a calming blend of flower and plant aromas. It’s The Chronic, yo!
■Daily shampoo and conditioner regimen specifically formulated for normal and color-treated hair.
■Good to you and the environment: Paraben-free, sulfate-free, not tested on animals, contains no animal products or by-products, environmentally friendly and completely non-toxic.
■Leaves hair silky and smooth.
■Shampoo: massage into wet hair, lather and rinse. Conditioner: apply to clean, damp hair; comb through and rinse thoroughly. See you in the green room!
■The Chronic Shampoo: $14.00/ 8 oz bottle

I learned that LEO developed the tonic shampoo because she's a surfer and realized that the salt and the sun were taking a toll on her hair, and she wanted to develop an environmentally-friendly product to help with that.
