With these tips, the sun's rays and the chlorine from the pool don't stand a chance
There's really no way around it: Summer is the absolute worst time of the year to dye your hair. Thanks to culprits like chlorine, salt water, and excessive sun exposure, it can seem practically impossible to keep color looking fresh.
While we don't expect anyone to stay out of the water entirely, you can minimize salt and/or chlorine absorption by soaking your hair with fresh water first, as colorist Hannah Edelman, otherwise known as Hannah The Painter, suggests."Your hair will soak up innocent fresh water, and with some luck, it will avoid sucking up junk from the pool or ocean," she says.
Another culprit of hair color fading are our hot tools, which we tend to rely on more often when the weather gets humid or when we wash our hair more often."Heat is a two-headed monster," says Edelman."The hot weather makes us want to wash our hair more, which drives us to heat style more often. Keep your irons at 350 degrees or lower, and try your hardest to use them sparingly."Don't forget, the sun is just as bad for your hair as chlorine and salt water.
Brownsell recommends Bleach London's Treatment Shots, including the above Restore, as the perfect travel companions to soothe dyed hair, whether used as a leave-in treatment, a pre-shampoo treatment, or added to your favorite mask post-shampoo.
