Summer Hair Survival Guide: Keep Your Hair Healthy Through Sun, Chlorine & Saltwater

5 comments by Beauty Blog

Ah, summer—the season of sun-kissed skin, beach waves, and… hair nightmares? While we all crave that perfect summer glow, our hair often pays the price. But fear not! As one of the best salons in Fairfield, NJ, The Warehouse Salon is here to guide you through the ultimate Summer Hair Survival Guide.

Let’s dive into how you can keep your locks luscious, even when the sun, chlorine, and saltwater conspire against them.

 

Sun Damage: The Silent Hair Saboteur

We slather on sunscreen to protect our skin, but what about our hair? Those golden rays can wreak havoc on your tresses.

Why the Sun is Your Hair’s Worst Enemy:

  • UV Damage – Just like your skin, your hair suffers from prolonged sun exposure. UV rays weaken the hair cuticle, leading to dryness, breakage, and split ends.
  • Fading Color – Dyed hair is especially vulnerable, as the sun breaks down melanin, causing rapid color fading.

How to Protect Your Hair from Sun Damage:

  • ✅ Best Option: Sun Hats! – The most effective way to protect your hair is by wearing a stylish wide-brimmed sun hat.
  • ✅ UV-Protectant Hair Products – If you want extra defense, use a lightweight heat and UV protectant like Oligo Styling Crème.

Chlorine: Public Hair Enemy No. 1

A refreshing dip in the pool feels amazing—but chlorine? Not so much. It’s notorious for stripping your hair of moisture and causing unwanted color changes.

How Chlorine Damages Your Hair:

  • Dries Out Strands – Chlorine removes natural oils, making hair brittle and prone to breakage.
  • Turns Hair Green – The copper in pool water reacts with chlorine, causing light-colored hair to turn green.

Pool-Proof Your Hair with These Steps:

  • Pre-Soak Before Swimming – Wet your hair with clean tap water before entering the pool.
  • Apply a Leave-In Conditioner Barrier – Coat your hair with Lakme Lak-2 Instant Hair Conditioner.

  • Rinse Immediately After Swimming – Never let chlorine sit in your hair for too long.
  • Rehydrate with More Conditioner – After rinsing, apply another layer of leave-in conditioner.

 

Ocean Adventures: Saltwater & Hair Don’t Always Mix

Saltwater doesn’t turn hair green like chlorine, but it’s still dehydrating. However, it does have one perk—it can enhance your natural curls and waves (in moderation!).

How Saltwater Affects Your Hair:

  • Strips Natural Oils – Salt draws moisture out of your hair, leaving it dry and rough.
  • Makes Hair More Textured – While this can look great, excessive exposure leads to tangles and brittleness.

How to Protect Your Hair at the Beach:

  • ✅ Rinse with fresh water after swimming.

 

Humidity: The Frizz Creator

Summer humidity is the ultimate frizz-inducing culprit. If your sleek styles turn into a fluffy mess, here’s what to do:

How to Control Summer Frizz:

  • Wash More Frequently (But Smartly!) – Adjust your washing routine if needed.

Healthy Hair, Happy Summer

Summer fun doesn’t have to mean hair havoc. With these simple yet effective tips—and the right products from The Warehouse Salon—you can enjoy the sun, surf, and pool without compromising your hair’s health.
