Sun, chlorine, and salt-water can wreak havoc on your freshly coloured hair. Learn how to protect it with some of our favourite products and tips!
use a leave-in
Use a leave-in conditioner or hair serum with SPF before going into the sun to prevent sun damage. See below for our favourite ones available at both our salons! Price range: $39-$51.
We say it all the time, but if you really want to Summer-Proof your hair, you should avoid using hot tools as often as possible. They can dry your hair out and cause your colour/toner to fade quicker. Once a week is the max we recommend, and don’t forget your heat protector!!
Rinse before you dive in
Always get your hair thoroughly wet before jumping in the pool. Dry hair soaks up chlorine and salt water like a sponge, and we don’t want that! Rinsing your hair with fresh water before and after swimming will minimize damage and discolouration. Or… if you don’t want to get your hair wet at all, use a swim cap.
get a haircut
Don’t skip your summer trim. Getting rid of dry, damaged, and split ends is so good for your hair, and will make it appear thicker and healthier. Want to book online? Click here.
wear a hat
Wear a hat or a scarf to shield your hair from direct sunlight. We love the selection of summer hats from Kid Sister Lifestyle Shop, especially this fun one called The Shore Bucket Hat by Australian brand Lack of Color. See more of our favourite picks below! Price range: $99-$149.
