How to Keep Your Hair Healthy All Summer Long

Summer is all about fun in the sun, but it’s not always the best season for your hair—especially if you’re blonde or have gray-blended hair. The combination of UV rays, chlorine, saltwater, and extra heat can take a toll, leaving your color dull and your strands dry. But don’t worry—I’ve got you covered!

5 Easy Ways to Prevent Summer Hair Damage

☀️ Rinse Your Hair After Swimming

Chlorine and saltwater can be harsh on your hair, especially if you’re blonde. A quick rinse after swimming removes damaging minerals and chemicals before they have a chance to dry out your hair.

🧴 Use a Clarifying Shampoo

After a day at the pool or beach, wash your hair with a clarifying shampoo to remove any mineral buildup. This helps keep your blonde bright and prevents your hair from looking dull or brassy.

🌿 Apply a Leave-In Conditioner with UV Protection

The sun can be just as harmful to your hair as it is to your skin. A leave-in conditioner with sun protection will help shield your strands from UV damage and keep them soft and hydrated.

💆‍♀️ Deep Condition While You’re Out & About

If you know you’ll be outside all day, try applying a deep conditioner to wet hair before putting it up. The heat from the sun will help the treatment penetrate, leaving your hair extra nourished by the end of the day.

🌀 Wear Protective Hairstyles

Swimming with your hair loose can lead to tangling and breakage. Instead, braid your hair or tie it up in a bun to keep it safe from damage while you’re in the water.

Enjoy the Sunshine Without Worrying About Your Hair

The most important thing? Have fun! If you forget any of these tips, just make sure to shampoo twice and apply a deep conditioner when you get home. Your hair will thank you!
