How to Protect Your Colour and Keep Hair Healthy This Summer

Summer holidays are all about sun, sea and relaxation, but while you’re soaking up the rays, your hair could be paying the price. Sunlight, chlorine and salt water can wreak havoc on your strands, especially if your hair is colour-treated. At BACKSTAGE, we understand how to keep hair vibrant and healthy even in the harshest summer conditions.

Why Does Summer Damage Hair?

  • UV rays strip pigment from colour-treated hair, causing fade and brassiness.
  • Chlorine and salt dehydrate strands, leading to dryness and breakage.
  • Scalp exposure can result in irritation or even sunburn.

The combination of these factors means your holiday routine needs a little extra care.

Here’s how to protect your colour and maintain gorgeous, glossy locks all summer long:

 

Senior Hairstylist Raul Torres Shares His Easy Holiday Hair Rules:

  • Wash It Off
    Always rinse or wash your hair after swimming. Removing salt, chlorine and sweat is essential to prevent dryness and brittleness.
  • Double Cleanse with a Clarifying Shampoo
    A gentle clarifying shampoo helps detox your hair without stripping colour, acting as a post-beach reset.
  • Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate
    Follow with a nourishing conditioner or weekly hair mask to replenish lost moisture and lock in softness.
  • Leave-In Protection
    Opt for a leave-in conditioner with UV filters to keep hair protected throughout the day.
  • Protect Your Scalp
    Your scalp can burn too. Use a lightweight SPF spray for your parting, or better yet, add a chic sun hat to your holiday look.
  • Cover Up in Style
    Scarves and hats not only shield hair from UV damage but also add an effortless touch of glamour.
