Summer Hair Care Tips: How to Protect Your Hair from Sun and Salt

Summer means sunshine, saltwater, and good vibes — but also dryness, frizz, and color fading. Here’s how to protect your hair while still enjoying the season.

1. Hydrate Before and After the Sun

Before heading out, apply a small amount of nourishing mask like VAO to the ends. After swimming, rinse hair immediately and rehydrate with aloe-rich formulas.

2. Use Physical Barriers

Wear hats or scarves when the UV index is high. They block harmful rays and help maintain your hair’s natural color and strength.

3. Avoid Over-Washing After Swimming

Rinsing is essential, but daily shampooing can worsen dryness. Alternate between mild cleansers and masks for moisture balance.

4. Control Frizz Naturally

Summer humidity is the main frizz culprit. Apply lightweight oils or serums to lock in moisture without heaviness.

5. Embrace Your Natural Texture

Put down the heat tools and let your natural waves shine! Summer is the perfect season to give your hair a break and restore its vitality.

Final Thought

Healthy summer hair is all about prevention and nourishment. Protect, hydrate, and love your hair — it’ll love you back all season long.
