1. Watch the Water -
I always recommend avoiding getting your hair wet in pools or any unfamiliar bodies of water. Chlorine, salt, and minerals can mess with your color and leave behind a film that’s hard to remove. Trust me, your hair will thank you.
2. Heatless Is Chic –
It’s already hot enough outside, so skip the hot tools when you can! Summer is the perfect excuse to lean into braids, claw clips, loose buns—any updo that gives effortless style without the heat.
3. Sunscreen for Your Hair –
Just like your skin, your hair needs protection too. Leave-ins like Redken’s ABC 24/7 Night & Day Serum, the new Naked Glass Lightweight Shine Oil, or even One United are going to be your BFFs for keeping your strands safe. They’re lightweight, protective, and perfect for heatless days.
4. Moisture Is a Must –
Fighting frizz and dryness starts with hydration. Any kind of moisture-focused product—whether it’s a leave-in conditioner, hydrating mask, or oil (as a topcoat in addition to leave-ins and masks)—is going to help your hair survive the summer heat and humidity.
5. Protect Your Scalp –
Don’t forget your scalp in the summer sun! Use sunscreen on your part and around your ears (they burn quicker than you think), throw on a cute hat, and if you’re feeling dry or itchy, Redken’s Scalp Relief Shampoo is a go-to. It soothes without stripping your color.
