Summer means sunshine, beach days, and pool dips — but while your soul might be glowing, your hair might not be as happy. The heat, UV rays, chlorine, and salty water can strip your hair of moisture, leaving it dry, brittle, and frizz-prone. But don’t worry — lightweight hydration is your summer hair BFF. Here’s your go-to guide for keeping your strands strong, soft, and summer-proof all season long.
☀️ How Summer Affects Hair Hydration, let’s break it down:
Sun Exposure: UV rays damage the cuticle layer, leaving your hair dry and faded in color.
Saltwater: While we love a good beach wave, salt pulls moisture out of your strands, causing dullness and dehydration.
Chlorine: Pool water strips the hair of natural oils, and repeated exposure can even weaken your strands.
Heat & Humidity: They mess with your hair’s protein and moisture balance, making it more prone to breakage and frizz.
🌊 So… what are we gonna do about it?
Here’s your cheat sheet: tips, tricks & hair-saving hydration and protection hacks incoming✨
Pre-swim protection is a must: Wet your hair with fresh water before hitting the pool or sea — hair soaks up less chlorine/salt when already wet. An extra tip: apply a little of your hair oil before dipping into the water to act as a protective layer from the chlorine or salt water. You can always try our Everlong Hair Growth Oil.
Shield your hair from the sun: Wear a hat or use a heat protectant like Smooth Blow Hair Protectant Spray — your hair’s ultimate defender against sun exposure. Just like skin, hair needs protection from the sun’s harsh rays.
Rinse after swimming: Never let salt or chlorine dry on your strands. Rinse with fresh water immediately to minimize damage.
Double down on leave-in conditioners: After washing, your hair is at its thirstiest — that’s your golden hour to seal in moisture and keep the frizz away. Reach for a leave-in right after towel-drying, while your hair is still damp:
