Care for Your Colored Hair in the Summer with These Tips
For many of us, summer is the most-awaited season, but it is also the absolute worst time
for your hair. Colored hair or not, the culprits are everywhere, including saltwater, chlorine,
sun exposure, wind, and humidity. But, of course, we just cannot say no to summer fun,
which is why we are bringing to you celebrity hairstylist Lourd Ramos’ tips for caring for
your colored hair during the summer.
Beautiful colored hair in the summer begins with having healthy hair
Lourd Ramos always emphasizes this to his clients and friends—healthy hair is the
foundation of beautiful colored hair. Long before summer starts, many of us already have
plans of staycationing in and out of the city. It is important to take care of your hair and
ensure that it is healthy to help it withstand the elements. And even if you do not stay out on
the beach or in the field, the sun’s rays as well as all other culprits can still be dangerous
and can cause damage to your hair.
How to care for your colored hair in the summer
Though we know that summer is not the best season for your hair as it is harsher, it should
not keep you from enjoying the fun activities you can do during this time. In fact, you can
still keep your colored hair or dye it with a new shade for as long as you follow Lourd’s tips.
1. Keep your hair healthy by using the best products for colored hair
Lourd cannot emphasize enough the importance of having healthy hair. To maintain
your hair’s health, he recommends using shampoo for colored hair like the TRESemmé Pro-Color Series. For blonde hair, there’s TRESemmé Blond Brilliance that keeps your hair from turning brassy. And to keep your hair color from fading, use TRESemmé Color Radiance with its anti-fade technology that keeps your
hair color last up to 2x longer. If your roots start to show but don’t have the time to see
your stylist, spritz your hair with the TRESemme Root Touch Up Spray for Dark
Brown Hair to get instant root coverage. With one easy spray, your roots and grays
disappear.
2. Avoid too much sun exposure
You know if your hair has had too much sun exposure when it is dry, brittle, and has
some discoloration and split ends.
The sun has UVA and UVB rays that can cause damage to the cuticle or the outer
coating of your hair strands. The lighter the hair color, the more vulnerable it is to
dryness. Should you need to stay out in the sun for prolonged periods, use a cap or
bandana to protect your colored hair.
3. Stick to cold-water rinses
Hot showers feel good, but they are not good for your hair because it might prevent
the thorough rinsing of your shampoo and conditioner. Instead, go for cold-water
rinses that seal the moisture in your hair and leave your scalp hydrated. Further, cold
water closes up your cuticles and pores, leaving you with shiny hair at home that is
also frizz-free and soft.
4. Deep condition your hair weekly
Aside from using shampoo for colored hair and colored hair treatment products, deep
conditioning can also do wonders for your colored hair. It can keep your hair hydrated
while improving hair health by providing it with the nutrients it needs for reducing
damage. Deep conditioning prevents breakage and dryness by repairing,
strengthening, and moisturizing your strands.
Make your colored hair shinier with the TRESemme Keratin Smooth Shine Serum.
Its non-greasy formula gives your hair the glossy look of a professional blow-dry style
in the comfort of your own home. Get smooth, soft, and silky hair in no time.
Follow these tips and enjoy every day even when it is not summer.
