How To Keep Your Hair Color Poppin' All Summer Long
Summer is the ultimate time for fun and new looks, but it's also when your hair color faces its biggest challenges—think chlorine, salt water, and sun. But don’t worry, here are some killer tips to keep your color fresh and fierce all season long.
Avoid Salt & Chlorinated Water
Salt and chlorine are color’s worst enemies, causing fading, dryness, breakage, and damage—especially when combined with sun and wind. Clip it up and out of the way so you can enjoy a swim without worrying.
Protect Your Hair If You Do Swim
Before swimming, soak your hair in fresh water. This helps prevent it from absorbing salt or chlorine. For extra protection, cover your wet hair with a rich hair mask like The Remedy Colorless Mask to create a barrier against harsh chemicals and salt.
Carefully Cleanse Your Hair Afterward
Post-swim care is crucial. Avoid harsh shampoos that strip color. Opt for a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo like The Hydrator Moisturizing Shampoo to clean without stripping, keeping your color vibrant and hair conditioned.
Condition While You Color
Swap harsh hair dyes for deeply nourishing hair color. Our Color Depositing Treatment Masks infuse your hair with rich hues and beneficial botanicals like coconut oil, shea butter, evening primrose oil, spearmint oil, and rosemary oil. Reap the benefits of a deep conditioning hair mask every time you touch up your color.
Swap Hot Tools for Heat-Free Styles
Heat styling can fade color and damage hair, especially in hot, sunny weather. Now's the perfect time to embrace your natural texture or experiment with fun braids, buns, or even heat-free curling rods that do all the work while you sleep.
Cover It Up
Protect your hair from the sun with hats or scarves. This not only shields your hair but also your scalp and face, keeping you stylishly safe. A UV protective styling products adds another layer of protection to your 'do.
