Most people who color their hair are aware that hair color fades. Unfortunately it fades faster in the summer when we are out in the sun, swimming in pools or the ocean. What can be done to protect your hair color? First, most shampoo lines now have sulfate free options, that is a start. These shampoos are usually milder and strip less color out of the hair. Also, look for a leave-in conditioner with UV protection. If you can not find one cover your hair with a hat or scarf when you can, and before you swim try filling your hair with conditioner. It won't look cool on your way to the pool, but will help keep clorine out of the hair shaft, and once your head gets wet who cares what it looks like?
Once you leave the pool wash your hair ASAP to remove any residual clorine or salt and minerals it may have absorbed.
Beyond that...just enjoy the summer, you can always get a glossing demi to restore between touch-ups.
