If you experience a variety of hair issues throughout the summer, you are not alone. Every issue brought on by the harsh sun affects us all, including split ends, dryness, and frizz as well as coloured hair becoming rough and unkempt due to sweat and UV rays robbing every strand of moisture.
There is no way to enjoy the season without ruining your hair, especially if it is freshly coloured. But adopting the below tips can prevent your freshly coloured mane from fading faster than usual and help your hair colour last longer.

5 Easy Tips To Protect Your Hair Colour From The Harsh UV Rays
Scream Sunscreen
For protection against the sun, try applying primer or an oil-based sunscreen. These products are created using a mix of oils, typically including coconut oil. The spray won’t leave your hair feeling greasy or excessively oily because it is light in weight. Before you walk outside, spray a fine, even mist over your hair and scalp. Pick a hair product with a minimum SPF of 30.
Heat-Protectant Spray To Your Rescue
A heat protective spray designed for protecting the hair from flat irons and curling irons is another option. These products perform fantastically to block the sun’s rays because they are designed to protect your hair from extreme temperatures. Before you venture outside, spray an even layer over your entire head of hair.
Put On A Sun Hat Or Swim Cap
Throw on a hat before you go outside if you don’t want to worry about reapplying sun protection or if you just want to stay cool in the heat. This is a simple technique to shield your hair from the sun, and you can complement your outfit with a variety of cute hat styles. If you’re heading into a pool, don’t forget a swimming cap!
Leave-In Conditioner Is Your BFF
Just before you hit the ocean or pool, apply a leave-in conditioner. Your hair dries out when exposed to chlorine and salt water, which can be particularly harmful to colour-treated hair. Once the leave-in conditioner has been rubbed into your hands to the size of a quarter, run your fingers through your hair from root to tip. Your hair will be less prone to absorb chlorine or salt water this way.
Shampoo Post Swimming
As soon as you are done swimming, rinse your hair. Immediately step into the shower to protect your hair colour. To remove any corrosive chemicals or saltwater, use a shampoo that protects hair colour or is free of sulphates.
