Blonde hair is already more delicate because the lightening process removes some of the hair’s natural protective pigments and lipids. This can leave the hair cuticle more vulnerable to dryness, damage and breakage.
Add summer sunshine into the mix and your blonde may need a little extra TLC. UV exposure and heat can contribute to dryness, colour fading and changes in tone, leaving your beautiful blonde looking dull or brassy rather than fresh and glossy.
Then there are holidays. Chlorinated swimming pools, salt water, sunshine and frequent washing can all affect the condition and appearance of colour-treated hair.
The good news? With the right Summer Hair Care routine, you can help protect your hair and keep your Summer Blonde looking healthy, glossy and salon-fresh.
UV exposure can contribute to dryness, fading and changes in the tone of colour-treated hair. If you’re spending lots of time outdoors, consider haircare products that offer protection and wear a hat when you’re out in strong sunshine for prolonged periods.
Think of it as a little extra summer protection for your blonde.
A good leave-in treatment spray is particularly useful during the summer. Apply it to damp or dry hair and pop it into your beach or pool bag so you can give your hair some extra care throughout the day.

Where possible, give your hair a break from straighteners, curling wands and excessive blow-drying.
Summer is a great time to experiment with softer, more natural styles and give your hair some time away from intense heat.
When you do reach for your styling tools, always apply a suitable heat protection product first.
Serenity Recommends:
Shed Forcefield is a lightweight heat protection spray designed to shield the hair during heat styling at temperatures of up to 230°C.
Apply to damp hair before blow-drying or lightly mist onto dry hair before using straighteners, curling irons or other heated styling tools.
A salt spray or curl-defining cream can help you create that relaxed summer look without constantly reaching for heated styling tools.
But remember: beachy hair still needs looking after!
Before jumping into a swimming pool or the sea, thoroughly wet your hair with fresh water.
Hair is porous, so saturating it with clean water first can help reduce how much chlorinated or salty water it absorbs.
Rinse your hair with fresh water as soon as possible after leaving the pool or sea.
Chlorine can leave the hair feeling dry and may contribute to unwanted tones, particularly in very light blondes. If you’ve ever noticed your beautiful blonde taking on a slightly green or khaki appearance after lots of swimming, chlorine, metals and mineral build-up may be playing a part.
A thorough rinse followed by the right cleansing and conditioning routine can make a big difference.
And don’t forget about the sea. Salt water may give us gorgeous beachy waves, but it can also be very drying for colour-treated hair.
After a day on the beach, rinse thoroughly with fresh water and follow with a nourishing conditioner or treatment.
Your blonde will thank you!
Using highly pigmented purple products too frequently can sometimes leave blonde hair looking dull, overly cool or even slightly grey or lilac.
