Sun, salt, chlorine. A recovery plan.
Months of sun, salt water, and swimming pool chlorine leave a mark. The fix? Clean out the buildup, put back the protein, and seal in the moisture.
Step One: Undo the Buildup
Chlorine and mineral buildup sit on the hair shaft and block everything else from working. Before you can repair, you have to clear it out.
A shampoo formulated for this moment should:
- Gently remove chlorine and mineral buildup
- Rinse clean without stripping
- Skip sulfates so that it won't dry out hair
- Stay safe for color-treated hair
- Use it after every swim.
Step Two: Bring Back the Moisture
Once buildup is gone, hair needs what the summer took from it: protein, moisture, and protection.
A recovery hair mask should:
- Repair strands with amino acids and protein
- Lock in moisture and cut frizz
- Protect against UV and heat damage
- Strengthen hair over time
Use it weekly, or anytime hair needs extra moisture.
The Bottom Line
Summer hair damage isn't permanent. Clear the buildup, replace what's missing, seal it in. That's the whole plan.
