Truss Deluxe Prime Summer is a leave-on spray meant to protect hair from sun, saltwater, and pool water, with a UV protection film and directions to reapply as needed.

Who this is for

Anyone spending real time in the sun, the ocean, or a pool this summer, especially with color-treated hair that fades faster under UV and chlorine exposure. It is a before-you-go-out product, sprayed on ahead of exposure rather than worked in as part of a daily styling routine.

Who should skip it

If your summer does not involve much direct sun, salt water, or pool time, there is no real job for this product to do. It is built around that specific kind of exposure, not general daily wear.

If you are looking for a heat protectant for blow drying or ironing, this is not that. Nothing in the product's directions mentions heat styling, it is about environmental exposure, not styling tools.

How a stylist uses it

Shake it well before every use, then spray it onto hair before sun, sea, or pool exposure, covering the strands completely rather than just the surface. The directions allow reapplying as often as needed, so for a full beach day, treat it as something to top up rather than a single morning application that has to last.

Recommend it as a pre-vacation or pre-beach-day add-on for clients who are protecting a recent color service, since sun and chlorine are two of the fastest ways to fade one.

How it compares

Against doing nothing before sun or pool exposure: the obvious lower cost alternative is skipping a protectant spray entirely. The tradeoff is that sun, salt water, and chlorine are cumulative, and a season of unprotected exposure adds up in ways that are hard to reverse afterward.

Against a leave-in oil with no UV component: a standard leave-in oil can add slip and some shine, but the product's own copy is specific about UV protection film, sun, sea, and pool. If UV and saltwater exposure is the actual problem, a product built around that is doing a different job than a general leave-in.

What to expect

Hair that is not left completely unprotected during sun, saltwater, or pool exposure, applied and reapplied as directed. It is not a substitute for a hat or shade on a long beach day, and it will not undo fading or dryness that already happened before this summer.

The tradeoff of a spray-on protectant is that it only works when it is actually reapplied. Skipping the reapply step on a long pool day is the most common way this kind of product underperforms, and that is on usage, not the formula.

Size and value

One size, 8.79oz, at $41.00, about $4.66 an ounce. It is priced like a seasonal specialty item rather than a daily-use bottle, which tracks with how it is meant to be used: before specific exposure, not every day.
