21 Mar Continuing our series on color fade and care
It is Summer and it is hot and humid and you are spending as much time as you can in the pool or ocean.
Are you frustrated over color fading?
Swimming, whether in a pool or the ocean is never kind to hair color. Then there is the blazing hot sun who is not a friend to your hair either.
So what can you do?
Firstly, when you know you are going for a swim, wet your hair first and apply a deep conditioner. This forms a barrier on your hair and prevents chlorine/salt damage. Once your get out of the water, before your hair dries, be sure to rinse your hair out thoroughly with fresh water.( It is not necessary to shampoo every time.) Apply a little leave-in conditioner and your hair will be grateful. Another way to protect your hair and color is to wear a swimming cap whilst in the water and a sun hat when exposed to the sun. Remember your hair needs to be cared for just like your skin.
