During the summer months, different factors can affect your beautiful blonde hair. Whether it is an icy platinum blonde, warm honey shade or a sun kissed balayage, blonde hair care is needed all year round.
With the warmer weather approaching and holidays to warmer climates taking place, don’t forget about keeping your blonde in check. Here are some top tips to help, no matter what it is your doing or where you are going.
Limit sun exposure
The summer sun can be harsh on your blonde hair, causing it to become dry, brittle, and prone to fading. Before going out into the sun, make sure you protect your hair from UV damage. Make sure you wear a hat or scarf, especially during peak sun hours. Additionally, consider using hair care products with built-in UV protection, which shields your hair from the damaging effects of the sun. By being mindful of UV exposure and taking proactive steps to protect your hair, you can keep your blonde looking healthy and vibrant all summer long.
Go easy on the hot tools
Your hair’s already dealing with sun and heat outside, make sure you are giving your hair a well needed rest inside. Cut back on heat styling and if you are planning to use any heat on your hair, always use a heat protectant spray. Why not opt for beachy air-dried look, braids or buns instead. Less heat = longer-lasting colour and healthier hair.
Protect your hair from chlorine
Thinking of heading to the pool or taking a dip in the sea? Drench your hair with clean water first as this helps stop it from soaking up as much chlorine or salt. You can even apply a leave-in conditioner before diving in to give your hair that extra hydration.
Deep conditioning treatment
Colour fading and dryness are the main concerns when it comes to your blonde in the summer. Conditioning alone is not enough. Your hair needs (and deserves) a little more care and well needed hydration. That’s where a deep conditioning treatment comes in. Apply it as the first step before your shampoo and conditioner to rebuild your hair’s bonds. This helps boost strength and shine to help keep your hair healthy and in the best shape possible.
Don’t forget to book your refresh
No matter how good your ‘at home’ routine is when it comes to maintaining your blonde, nothing beats a colour refresh. Whether your roots are creeping in or your tone needs reviving, a salon visit is key to help keeping your blonde as vibrant as you are.
