Top 5 Tips for Summer Hair Care (and Keeping Your Color Vibraaaant!) ☀️

Hey #FoxFam, summer's here and that means it's time to live life to the fullest – pool parties, beach days, and sunshine galore! But all that fun can take a toll on your hair, especially if you've got our show-stopping colors rocking. Don't worry, we've got your back! Here are our top 5 tips for keeping your hair healthy and your color lasting all summer long: 1. Sun Protection is Key! ☀️ Just like your skin, your hair needs protection from the sun's harsh rays. UVA and UVB rays can fade your color and leave your strands dry and brittle. We love using a leave-in product with nourishing properties like Money Hunny coupled with a UV protectant like OG Hair Perfume. This duo keeps your hair hydrated and adds a touch of UV protection, while still being lightweight, so your products weigh you down. 2. Washing Wisely! We know you want to rock your freshly-dyed hair all day, every day, but washing too frequently can strip away color. Try to space out washes every other day or even longer if your hair isn't too oily. When you do wash, use cool water – hot water can open your hair cuticle and cause color to bleed. And don't forget to use a color-safe shampoo and conditioner! Our Resurrected Shampoo and Conditioner will do just the trick! 3. Deep Condition Like a Boss! Summer sun and pool chlorine can leave your hair feeling dry and parched. Deep conditioning is your BFF for keeping your hair soft, manageable, and your color looking fresh. Once or twice a week, treat your hair to a deep conditioning mask. Our Pool Party Hair Mask is a crowd favorite – it's packed with nourishing ingredients to bring your hair back to life and boost shine and softness. 4. Minimize Heat Styling! ‍ We all love a good heat style, but those flat irons and curling wands can wreak havoc on colored hair. If you can, try to air dry your hair whenever possible. And when you do use heat styling tools, always apply a heat protectant spray first. A good thermal protectant will shield your strands from heat damage and help maintain the integrity of your color. 5. Embrace Protective Styles! ‍ Summer is a great time to get creative with your hairstyles! Braids, buns, and headwraps are not only cute, but they also help protect your hair from the sun and wind. Plus, they're a lifesaver on those hot, sticky days. Bonus Tip! ‍ For an extra boost of color vibrancy in between washes, try a 4oz bottle of our Semi-Permanent Color mixed with your conditioner! They come in all of our most popular shades and are a fun way to add a touch of pizazz to your hair without the commitment of a full re-dye. By following these tips, you can keep your hair healthy, your color vibrant, and slay all summer long!
