With summer right around the corner,  it's time to tweak your hair care routine to ensure your hair stays radiant and healthy throughout the hot months. The combination of heat, humidity, chlorine, and UV rays can have a big impact on our hair, leading to dryness, frizz, and damage. But with a few simple tweaks and some mindful practices, you can keep your hair looking fabulous all summer long.

Hydration is Key:

Just like our bodies, our hair needs hydration to stay healthy. During the summer months, the heat can strip our hair of its natural moisture, leaving it dry and brittle. Combat this by incorporating hydrating products into your hair care routine. Additionally, using a deep conditioning treatment once a week can help replenish lost moisture and keep your hair soft and supple. 

Hydrating products we love: 

R+Co Bleu De Luxe Reparative Shampoo + Conditioner: A power dose of hydration, strength, and repair for coarse, unruly, fragile, or damaged hair.

It improves elasticity and shine, seals frayed cuticles and split ends, improves texture and uniformity without weighing hair down. Rich and repairing transformative daily DE LUXE REPARATIVE Conditioner detangles and smoothes; restores resiliency.

R+Co Bleu De Luxe Reparative Masque: A super-powered revitalizer that restores luxurious texture, strength and shine to dry, damaged and chemically compromised hair. Delivers hydration to feed and fortify fragile hair. Calms, smoothes and detangles; seals frayed cuticles and mends split ends.

Protect Against UV Damage:

Just as you would apply sunscreen to your skin, your hair also needs protection from the sun's UV rays. Overexposure to UV radiation can lead to dryness, color fading, and breakage. Invest in a leave-in conditioner or hair serum to shield your hair from damage. R+Co Bleu’s F-Layer Deep Conditioning Serum is a traceless serum—the first step post-shower—replenishes the all-important F-layer: the protective lipid layer that locks in moisture and gives hair its natural smoothness, gloss, and ability to reflect light. It weightlessly hydrates, repairs, and preps hair for styling thanks to vitamin- and mineral-rich Fruit Water Extracts and the nourishing Oil Botanical Blend.

Rinse, Rinse, Rinse:

Chlorine from swimming pools and saltwater from the ocean can leave your hair dry, brittle, and prone to breakage. To prevent this, make it a habit to rinse your hair with fresh water before and after swimming. This helps to remove any chlorine or salt residue and minimize damage. Additionally, consider wearing a swim cap to provide an extra layer of protection.

Trim Regularly:

Regular trims are essential for maintaining healthy hair, especially during the summer months. Exposure to the sun, heat, and humidity can cause split ends and breakage, so keep your hair in tip-top shape by scheduling regular trims every 6-8 weeks. Not only will this keep your hair looking fresh and healthy, but it will also promote growth and prevent split ends from traveling up the hair shaft.
