Discover how to achieve the perfect beach babe look this summer without compromising the health of your hair and hair extensions. Prepare yourself with essential tips to keep your locks luxurious and ready for vacation.
Chlorine: Prevent Hair Discoloration and Damage
Avoid submerging your hair extensions in swimming pools with high chlorine levels, especially if you have blonde shades. Chlorine strips away the natural lubricant, leaving your hair dry and brittle.
Salt Water: Protect Against Dryness and Discoloration
Saltwater dehydrates hair, making it extremely dry and difficult to manage. This applies to both your natural hair and extensions. The lack of sebum production or reception in extensions can lead to increased dryness.
UV Rays: Preserve Moisture and Color
Just like your skin, UV rays can strip away moisture and color from your hair extensions, causing dryness, frizz, and breakage. Reduce exposure by wearing a hat and use a UV spray for added protection.
Hard Water: Counteract Discoloration and Maintain Vibrancy
Depending on your location, hard water with high alkaline/mineral content can fade or give an orange/pink tone to your hair or extensions. Use specific shampoos to neutralize the effects of iron buildup.

3. UV Shield: Prevent Discoloration from Chlorine and Sun
The combination of chlorine and sunlight can alter the color of chemically treated hair, including extensions. Protect your hair from direct sunlight by wearing a hat and use a UV spray to shield against discoloration.
4. Heat Barrier: Safeguard Your Hair from Heat Damage
Summer heat can already damage your hair, and styling tools exacerbate the strain. Shield your locks with CAPD Silk Press Heat Protectant Spray, preventing damage to the cuticle and maintaining your hair's color.
5. Anti-Frizz: Fight Humidity-Induced Frizz and Flyaways
9 Elixir Serum is a heat-activated treatment that acts as a humidity shield, sealing hair cuticles and split ends to combat frizz. Apply to damp hair after shampooing and conditioning, then blow-dry for super shiny, healthy-looking locks.
6. Discoloration: Maintain Blonde Hair Brilliance
Sun, chlorine, and hard water can cause unwanted brassy tones in blonde hair. Use Anti-Yellow Shampoo to counteract these tones. Seek professional advice before using toners or anti-yellow products on your hair or extensions.
7. Detangle: Minimize Breakage and Spread Natural Oils
Use a bristle brush to detangle your hair, spread natural oils, and reduce breakage. Avoid sleeping with wet hair as it is more prone to tangling and breakage. Dry and brush your hair immediately to prevent potential damage.
By following these strategies, you can enjoy the summer while keeping your hair and extensions healthy, vibrant, and ready for any adventure.
