How to Protect Hair In The Hot Summer Sun

How to Protect Hair, All Summer Long - Summer fun can really do a number on your hair. Aside from exposing hair to the damage of everyday styling like hair spray, gel, hair dryers, curling irons and more, you’re also exposing your hair to sun, heat, humidity, wind and chlorine.

Sunscreen for Hair and Scalp

UV rays can dry out your hair and fade your hair color. This summer, switch to a shampoo and conditioner formulated to protect hair against UV rays, like designLINE Color Care Shampoo and Conditioner.

Mind the part! When you’re applying your sunscreen, don’t forget your part! Or, better yet, wear a hat to protect your hair and scalp.

Avoid Dry Hair

Keep hair hydrated. The sun, saltwater and chlorine will suck the moisture out of even the healthiest hair. Drink lots of water, and use an intense conditioning treatment, like designLINE Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner, at least once a week.

Protect Hair From Chlorine

Going poolside? Rinse and comb a conditioner, like designLINE Hydrating Balm, through your hair before jumping in. Your hair is like a sponge—there’s only so much water it can absorb! The wetter it is before going in the water, the less chlorine it will absorb.

Before you step out of the shower, rinse your hair in the coldest water you can stand. Cool water closes hair cuticles, seals in the conditioner and adds shine.

Summer Hair Care

Give your hair the quarter-inch makeover. Over the course of 4-6 weeks, the ends of your hair get weak, causing them to split and become frayed. Get a trim to remove the damaged ends so your hair will be stronger and more manageable.

Protect Your Hair Color

Going for a sun-kissed glow? Skip the lemon juice! It will dry your hair out.

Chlorine can turn blonde highlights green. Protect hair color and avoid looking like a leprechaun by using a detoxifying product like designLINE Special Care Clarifying Shampoo. It gets rid of the chlorine and preserves that beautiful, golden glow.
