Summer Care for Bleached Hair: Essential Tips and Strategies

Maintaining the health and vibrancy of bleached hair during the summer can be challenging due to increased exposure to UV rays, chlorine, and saltwater. Here are comprehensive strategies to ensure your bleached hair remains protected throughout the sunny season:

1. Shield with Hats: One of the simplest ways to protect your hair is by wearing wide-brimmed hats. These hats provide substantial coverage, shielding your hair and scalp from the sun’s intense rays.
2. UV-Protective Hair Products: Incorporating UV-protective hair products, such as leave-in conditioners, serums, and sprays, into your care routine is crucial. These products create a protective barrier that minimizes UV damage and helps maintain your color’s integrity.
3. Hair Sunscreen: Unlike traditional sunscreens, hair sunscreens are specifically formulated to protect your hair without leaving residue. Available in sprays and mists, they are an excellent addition to your sun protection arsenal.
4. Limit Sun Exposure: Reduce the time your hair spends under direct sunlight, especially during peak hours. When outside, seek shade or wear protective gear to minimize exposure.
5. Combat Chlorine and Saltwater: Both chlorine and saltwater can significantly dry out and damage bleached hair. Wetting your hair with clean water and applying a protective leave-in conditioner or oil before swimming can help. Always rinse your hair after swimming to remove any residual chlorine or salt.
6. Deep Conditioning Treatments: Regular deep conditioning is vital for replenishing moisture and nourishing bleached hair, which tends to be more susceptible to dryness and damage. This step helps strengthen your hair’s resilience against environmental stressors.
7. Minimize Heat Styling: Heat tools can exacerbate the fragility of bleached hair. Opt for air drying and use heat styling sparingly to avoid additional damage.
8. Regular Trims: Keeping your hair trimmed and removing split ends prevents further damage and helps maintain overall hair health.

By following these steps, you can enjoy beautiful, healthy bleached hair all summer long. For more tailored advice and professional services, visit our hair bleaching page or contact us directly at 020 8556 5790
