The summer is in full swing and while we are enjoying soaking up the sun and lounging poolside, your hair may not be as excited. Summer activities can take a toll on your hair, and it is important to take steps to protect it from becoming too dry or even discolored.
Too much sun and chlorine can damage your hair and cause your beautiful color to look brassy and your blondes can turn an unpleasant green. Our professional stylists at Ruby Salon in Annapolis, MD offer some tips and tricks for keeping your summer locks looking their best.
Tips for Gorgeous Summer Hair
- Always stay hydrated. Drinking plenty of water all summer long is good for your hair, your skin, and your overall well being. Drinking plenty of water keeps your hair hydrated.
- Come in for a mid summer trim. Frequent hair cuts or even just a trim at Ruby Salon can keep your frizz down and your hair fresh. Our stylists can help you keep your locks lustrous all summer long. We also offer products that can help protect your hair.
- Wear a hat or swim cap while in the pool or sun. Keeping your hair protected and out of the elements can help it retain moisture and prevent damage caused by chlorine.
- Wet your hair before swimming. This may seem counterintuitive but it is true, wet hair is less likely to absorb water in the pool, lake or ocean. Salt and chlorine can be drying and damaging to your hair. Wet hair can reduce the effects of chlorine or salt.
