Summer brings sun, swimming and heat… but also challenges for our hair! Between UV rays, chlorine, sea salt and heat, our hair can quickly become dry, dull and brittle. Here are our best tips for keeping your hair healthy and shiny all summer long.
1. Protect Your Hair From the Sun
Just like your skin, your hair needs protection from UV rays.
UV rays can damage keratin, dry out the hair fibre and even discolour colour-treated hair.
Our Tips:
Wear a hat or scarf when exposed to the sun for long periods.
Use a hair spray with a UV filter, especially if you have colour-treated or highlighted hair.

2. Rinse After Every Swim
Sea salt and chlorine can weaken hair fibre and accentuate dryness.
Our Tips:
Rinse your hair with clear water as soon as possible after swimming.
Apply a protective care product before getting into the water, such as an oil or leave-in.

💧 3. Deep Hydration
Hydration is key to countering the drying effects of summer.
Our Tips:
Use a mask or moisturizing treatment once or twice a week.
Use a mild, moisturizing shampoo without harsh sulfates.
Apply a leave-in treatment or light hair cream every day.

4. Avoid Hot Tools
Summer is already hot enough for your hair! Hair dryers, straightening irons and curling irons can make dryness worse.
Our Tips:
Let your hair air-dry as much as possible.
If you must use a hot tool, always apply a heat protectant.

5. Beware of Discolouration
Colour-treated or highlighted hair is particularly sensitive to fading caused by the sun and chlorine.
Our Tips:
Use specific products for colour-treated hair.
Use repigmenting treatments or glosses to revive colour.
Avoid any colour treatments just before prolonged exposure to the sun.
