How to Repair Summer Hair Damage

While we enjoy our summer holidays under the sun, sometimes our hair may wish it had stayed home. Although beachy hair is synonymous with the coveted Californian look, sun-kissed locks can result in hair damage, too. Don't wait until the season is over to repair your hair from summer damage.

The major contributors to summer hair damage are excessive sun, salt water, and chlorine. This can lead to dry, brittle, damaged hair by the end of the season. Without summer hair treatments before, during, and after summer activities, your hair may become compromised and need more significant repair. OLAPLEX rebuilds broken bonds, which means you'll get healthier-looking hair.

Before diving into summer hair treatments, it's important to understand how and why the sun, salt water, and chlorine can damage your hair.


How Does the Sun Damage Your Hair?

The UVA and UVB rays from the sun can damage the outside of your hair (the hair cuticle). Too much sun exposure can make your hair dry, frizzy, and brittle. The sun can also lighten your hair, but this lightening process can damage your hair's keratin, a type of protein essential to hair's structure and strength.


How Does Salt Water Damage Your Hair?

Although swimming in the ocean can feel refreshing, saltwater might not be kind to your hair. Salt water can strip your hair of its natural oils, making it dehydrated. This can leave it feeling brittle, dry, and damaged. Since saltwater can dry out your hair, it can also lead to breakage.

Salt water can also damage dyed hair. If you dye your hair and take a dip in the ocean or a saltwater pool, it can strip the color from your hair and weaken your hair structure.


How Does Chlorine Damage Your Hair?

If you notice that your hair feels dry and brittle after taking a dip, it may be due to chlorine. Chlorine can strip away your hair's natural oils and compromise your hair cuticles. The antimicrobial and algicidal chemicals in chlorine can also damage your hair.


3 Summer Hair Treatments to Try at Home

If you notice your hair is dry, brittle, or frizzy in the summer, don't worry with the right summer hair treatments, you can restore your hair's softness and shine. Consider these three haircare products that fight damage:


OLAPLEX Nº.0 Intensive Bond Building Hair Treatment

Start your summer hair repair with OLAPLEX Nº.0 Intensive Bond Building Hair Treatment before OLAPLEX Nº.3 Hair Perfector™. This spray-on treatment primes hair for deeper repair while strengthening and protecting hair integrity. Nº.0 is formulated with OLAPLEX Bond Building Technology®, which repairs broken bonds for stronger hair when used with Nº.3.


OLAPLEX Nº.3 Hair Perfector®

Reverse damage with OLAPLEX Nº.3 Hair Perfector. This pre-shampoo treatment is powered by patented OLAPLEX Bond Building Technology® to repair and strengthen hair from the inside out. Fighting damage with Nº.3 Hair Perfector is easy: simply apply it to damp hair from roots to ends and rinse thoroughly. Use it alone or paired with OLAPLEX Nº.0 for maximum at-home repair in 3 to 10 minutes.


OLAPLEX Nº.8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask

Summer damage can make your hair look dull, dry, and lifeless. If you're looking for a nourishing mask to treat damage, try Nº.8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask. Use this reparative mask on clean, damp hair to seal in weightless moisture for body and shine. Rinse it off after 10 minutes.

Let OLAPLEX lead the way to softer, healthy-looking hair this summer. Take the Hair Quiz to get a personalized OLAPLEX routine or discover hair products that fight damage.
