"Color fade is a big issue in the summer," Donovan says. Unfortunately, the sun is a notorious hair color fader, which is why using the right products is key. Donovan suggests spritzing on a hair sunscreen before you go outside to protect hair from the sun. Aveda Sun Care Protective Hair Veil, $29, contains UVA and UVB filters. When showering, Donovan advises washing hair in a cooler setting. "The hotter the water, the more the pigments of your hair color will get disturbed."

Finally, Donovan says switching to sulfate-free hair care products can help preserve your hair color in the summer, since sulfates will speed up fading. Try Nexxus Color Assure Shampoo for Colored Hair, $8.39, and Nexxus Color Assure Conditioner for Colored Hair, $16.99.
