Summer is here! It’s a time for fun in the sun, poolside lounging, and beachside adventures. But for those with colored hair, summer can also mean faded vibrancy, brassiness, and dryness. Don’t worry, brunettes, blondes, and everyone in between! With a little preparation and care, you can keep your colored hair looking salon-fresh all summer long.
- Sun’s not just for skin! UV rays can damage colored hair, causing fading and brassiness.
- Wear a hat: A wide-brimmed hat shades your hair and scalp from harsh UV rays.
- Leave-in conditioner: Look for a leave-in conditioner with UV protection to add a layer of defense.
- Hair mist: Use a hair mist formulated with SPF throughout the day for extra protection, especially after swimming.
Chlorine Defense:
- Chlorine is a colorist’s kryptonite! It can strip away color and leave hair dry and brittle.
- Wet hair before swimming: Pre-wetting your hair fills the hair shaft with fresh water, minimizing chlorine absorption.
- Swimming cap: A tight-fitting swimming cap is your best defense against chlorine damage.
- Post-swim rinse: Rinse your hair with clean water immediately after swimming to remove chlorine residue.
Salty Solutions:
- Saltwater can be drying and cause color to fade.
- Pre-poo treatment: Apply a deep conditioner or hair oil before swimming as a protective barrier.
- Freshwater rinse: Rinse your hair with clean water after swimming in the ocean to remove salt residue.
- Hydrating aftercare: Use a color-safe shampoo and conditioner specifically formulated for dry or damaged hair.
Bonus Tip:
- Maintain your color vibrancy with regular salon visits. Schedule trims to remove split ends and ask your stylist about color-depositing conditioners to maintain your summer hair goals.
