Shield your hair from the drying effects of sun, saltwater, and pool chlorine with these expert summer care strategies.
Leave-in conditioners nourish hair while providing essential protection. In summer, select one with a UV filter to defend against sun radiation. This helps prevent dyed hair from fading or discoloring prematurely.
Before diving into the pool, wet your hair with fresh tap water. Saturating strands beforehand minimizes absorption of chlorine or seawater.
After a swim, rinse hair in beach showers. At home, shampoo and follow with conditioner. Specialized after-sun products offer deeper repair. Explore options here.
Style hair up off your shoulders for added defense. The best shield is a bandana, scarf, or hat to cover your scalp and strands fully.
