Summer Hair Care: Keep Your Hair Healthy All Season Long

Summer is all about sunshine, vacations, pool days, and beach trips—but all that fun can take a toll on your hair. UV rays, chlorine, salt water, and heat can leave your hair feeling dry, dull, and faded. The good news? With a few simple steps and the right products, you can keep your hair looking healthy and vibrant all season long.

Before You Jump In

Protect Your Color

If you’ve invested in beautiful color, you’ll want to protect it. Before getting in the pool or ocean, thoroughly wet your hair with clean water. Hair acts like a sponge, so if it’s already saturated with fresh water, it will absorb less chlorine or salt water.

For extra protection, apply a leave-in treatment or lightweight conditioner before swimming. This creates a barrier that helps lock in moisture while shielding your strands from harsh chemicals.

After the Pool

Don’t let chlorine sit on your hair. Rinse as soon as possible with fresh water and follow up with a gentle, hydrating shampoo and conditioner.

If your hair feels dry or tangled, use a nourishing mask or leave-in conditioner to restore moisture and keep it soft and manageable.

Don’t Forget Sun Protection

Just like your skin, your hair needs protection from the sun. UV rays can cause color to fade faster and leave hair feeling brittle. Wearing a hat or keeping your hair in a loose braid or bun can help minimize sun exposure.

Hydrating products and leave-in treatments also help replenish moisture lost from spending time outdoors.

Our Summer Favorites

Redken

Summer means sunscreen, chlorine, salt water, and product buildup—and Redken Hair Cleansing Cream Shampoo is the perfect reset. This deep-cleansing shampoo removes chlorine, minerals, excess oil, and styling product residue, leaving your hair feeling fresh, clean, and ready for hydration. It’s a must-have for swimmers, beach lovers, or anyone spending extra time outdoors. Pair it with your favorite moisturizing conditioner or mask to keep your hair healthy, shiny, and protected all season long.

Pureology

If there’s one product we recommend for summer, it’s Pureology Color Fanatic Multi-Tasking Leave-In Spray. This lightweight leave-in treatment delivers 21 benefits in one bottle, helping to detangle, hydrate, smooth frizz, add shine, reduce breakage, and protect against heat styling. It’s especially great for color-treated hair, keeping your color looking vibrant while replenishing the moisture that chlorine, salt water, and sun exposure can strip away.

Spray it on damp hair before heading out for the day or after rinsing off from the pool to keep your hair soft, healthy, and protected all summer long. It’s an effortless addition to any summer hair care routine and a favorite for all hair types.

Summer can leave hair feeling dry, frizzy, and overworked, making hydration a must. Eufora Beautifying Serum is the perfect lightweight finishing product to add moisture, tame frizz, and boost shine without weighing hair down.
