Protect Your Hair Color in Summer
Because summer should lighten your spirit—not your color.
Keep Brassiness at Bay
As summer approaches, it’s natural to crave that sun-kissed glow. But even the most beautiful blonde or brunette can shift in tone when sunlight, salt, or chlorine enter the picture.
To keep your color balanced, use a toning shampoo as needed—like Schwarzkopf Goodbye Yellow for blondes or Goodbye Orange for brunettes. Both help maintain richness and cancel unwanted warmth without dulling your shine.
Blonde Hair
Blondes are especially vulnerable to the sun’s rays and pool chemicals.
Copper and chlorine can mix to create unwanted green tones, so if you swim often, make sure your pool uses copper-free chlorine.
After a swim, reach for Malibu Swimmers Wellness Shampoo and Conditioner—they gently remove minerals and buildup without stripping your tone.
Dark Hair
Even deeper shades aren’t immune to summer brass. UV exposure can pull red and orange undertones forward, leaving your color uneven or overly warm.
That’s where Goodbye Orange comes in—it restores depth and neutralizes unwanted warmth so your color stays rich and dimensional.
Simple Summer Habits
Wear a hat or scarf: It’s chic and adds instant UV protection.
Use a leave-in before swimming: I recommend J Beverly Hills 5-in-1 or Everyday Spray—both hydrate and protect from sun, salt, and chlorine.
Rinse before the pool: Damp hair absorbs fewer chemicals than dry hair.
Add weekly moisture: A nourishing mask keeps porosity balanced, which means less fading and frizz.
In-Salon Support
If your hair starts to feel dry, brassy, or uneven, an in-salon clarifying or gloss treatment can restore tone and shine. These quick services make a big difference after sun exposure or vacation travel.
The Hair Mansion Perspective
Protecting your color isn’t just about avoiding fade—it’s about preserving the artistry behind it.
When you invest in your color, protect it with the same care.
That’s what keeps it luminous all season long.
