Hair Care in Sun, Sea and Pool Water

Hair care in sun, sea and pool water

Sun, wind, salt water and chlorine can leave hair feeling dry or harder to manage. A few practical habits can help you look after your hair while you spend time outdoors.

Rinse after swimming

Rinse hair with fresh water after swimming when you can. If you swim often or notice build-up, ask your stylist whether an occasional clarifying cleanser is suitable for your hair. Follow the product directions and use conditioner afterwards if your lengths feel dry.

Support softness and detangling

A rinse-out conditioner helps with slip after shampooing. If your lengths tangle easily, a small amount of leave-in conditioner may make detangling easier. Choose lighter or richer formulas according to your hair’s texture and how it responds.

Be thoughtful with heat

Air-drying can reduce hot-tool use, but it is not the only good option. If you blow-dry, use a heat protectant as directed and a temperature and airflow that feel comfortable. Avoid holding hot tools in one place for too long.

Protect hair outdoors

A hat or shade can reduce direct sun exposure to your hair and scalp. If you use a product marketed for UV protection, follow its directions and remember it does not replace sun protection for your skin.
