Summer Hair Survival Guide: Protecting Your Hair from Sun & Chlorine
Posted 1 week ago on June 3, 2025 - Aveda, Hair Care, Products, Scalp Spa
Summer is the season of sun-kissed skin and poolside fun—but it can also wreak havoc on your hair. UV rays, chlorine, and heat can dry out your strands, leaving them brittle and dull. At Gaia Salon, we’re dedicated to keeping your hair soft, shiny, and healthy even in the sunniest months.
Shielding Your Strands from UV Damage
Just like skin, hair needs protection from the sun. Prolonged exposure to UV rays can fade your color and dry out your hair. Consider wearing a wide-brimmed hat or using a lightweight, water-resistant product like AVEDA’s Sun Care Protective Hair Veil to create an invisible shield without weighing your hair down.
Keeping Blonde Hair Bright, Not Brassy
For blondes, summer can challenge your color. Chlorine and minerals may turn your bright hues brassy or greenish. Rinse your hair with fresh water or apply a nourishing leave-in conditioner before swimming to minimize chlorine absorption. Afterward, use a gentle cleanser like AVEDA’s Sun Care Hair & Body Cleanser. For an extra boost, use The Blonde Revival™ Purple Toning Shampoo & Conditioner to neutralize yellow tones and restore vibrancy.
Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate!
Heat can leave your hair parched. A spritz of AVEDA’s Nutriplenish™ Leave-In Conditioner offers instant moisture and softness. For a weekly treatment, swap your regular conditioner for a rich hair masque like the Botanical Repair™ Strengthening Masque to infuse plant-powered nutrients into each strand.
Don’t forget—the foundation of great hair is a healthy scalp. In-salon treatments at Gaia Salon can provide the ultimate refresh to soothe and hydrate both hair and scalp.
