Summer is the season of sun, pool days, beach trips, and outdoor fun — but it can also be tough on your beautifully highlighted hair. At Venelle Salon & Spa in Park Slope, Brooklyn, we want your highlights to stay radiant and healthy all summer long.

Here’s how you can protect your highlights from sun, chlorine, and other summer damage to keep your color vibrant and your hair strong.

☀️ How Sun Exposure Affects Highlighted Hair

UV rays from the sun can:

• Fade and dull hair color

• Dry out strands, leading to breakage and frizz

• Cause brassiness, especially in blonde highlights

---

🏊‍♀️ The Chlorine Challenge

Chlorine from pools can strip moisture and cause unwanted green or brassy tones in highlighted hair. It also weakens hair, making it more prone to damage.

🌴 Tips to Protect Your Highlights This Summer

1. Use UV Protection Hair Products

Look for shampoos, conditioners, and sprays with UV filters to shield your hair from harmful rays and prevent color fading.

2. Wear a Hat or Scarf Outdoors

Physical barriers like hats or scarves are one of the simplest and most effective ways to protect your hair from sun exposure.

3. Rinse Hair Before & After Swimming

Wet hair absorbs less chlorine than dry hair. Rinse with fresh water before swimming and immediately after to wash out chlorine.

4. Use a Clarifying Shampoo (Sparingly)

If you swim frequently, use a clarifying shampoo once a week to remove chlorine buildup, but avoid overuse as it can dry out your hair.

5. Deep Condition Weekly

Hydrate and repair hair with a deep conditioning mask weekly to restore moisture lost from sun and pool exposure.

6. Schedule a Gloss or Toner Treatment

Gloss treatments help refresh your highlights, neutralize brassiness, and add shine after summer exposure.
