Enjoy the Pool Without Worrying About Your Color

It’s common knowledge that chlorine turns color treated hair green and unless that’s the shade you were going, you probably want to do your best to keet your hair safe. A simple way is to make sure your locks are hydrated. A quick rinse or oil (coconut is a good choice) can fortify your hair with moisture that keeps pool chemical out. Even if you do some pre-care, you should also follow swimming with a shower to make sure all the chlorine is washed out.

Blocking UV Ray From Your Locks

Everyone knows how important it is to protect your skin from ultraviolet rays, but that same UV can attack your colored treated hair. How you put sunscreen to prevent sunburns, the right product can block summer rays from fading your color. Look for UV filters with products like hairspray or leave in conditioner that is specifically for dyed hair.

Stop Brassy Tones

You can never go wrong with a blonde tone in the summer, but if you’re not careful your warm color can turn to an unintended orange tint. The frequent sunshine speeds up fading and brings out a brassy hue so choose products designed to keep her blonde looking fresh all season. Stop brassiness in its tracks before it ruins your color by using purple shampoo and conditioner during your shower routine.
