10 Best Ways to Repair Hair from Summer Damage

Sun, chlorine, air conditioning and more can suck the life out of your strands -- use these tips to resuscitate them

3 of 11

Add life to your color

"Salt, sun and chlorine" are what Cutler says cause certain hair colors (mostly blondes and redheads) to turn brassy. In order to restore your hair color to its former glory, he recommends heading to the salon for a gloss or glaze treatment. They are less costly than getting full color and will restore the tone of your original hue while adding shine. Once your color is repaired, use color protecting shampoos and conditioners (try Pureology Hydrate Shampoo and Conditioner, $22.95 each) and always apply a UV blocking styling product before heading outdoors (try Kiehl's Leave-In Hair Conditioner, 29.50).

Yea...most importantly, moisturize, cut regularly, and grow out the ugly sun-bleached blondeness :( A couple more months to go!

I use all TRES Semme Products on my hair. I am growing it out for locks of love and it is very healthy , only because I follow the advice of my bueatician and let the natural oils build up for about four to five days before wasing and YES, Conditioning.

I used conditioner on my thick, long, but fine in structure hair. I never used it on the upper portion of my hair, because it was not damaged. I find that I like my hair to be more dry at the roots with the cleaning power of shampoo, because I tend to have an oily vs. dry scalp. I think conditioners there may also irritate sensitive skin, as I know people like that.
