Summer hair damage is preventable — but only if you have a protection routine in place before the damage happens. Here's the complete summer hair protection routine that keeps hair healthy from June through September.
The Summer Hair Protection Routine
Daily: Apply Heat & UV Protection Before Going Out
Every morning before sun exposure or heat styling, apply the PURA D'OR Argan Oil Heat Shield Protectant Spray (8 oz, up to 450°F) — a leave-in formula that protects against UV, heat, and humidity while adding shine and definition. Apply to damp or dry hair before going outside.
Before Swimming: Rinse and Coat
Before entering a pool or ocean, rinse hair with fresh water until saturated. Wet hair absorbs less chlorine and salt water than dry hair. Follow with a leave-in conditioner to create a protective barrier. The It's A 10 Miracle Leave-In Plus Keratin (10 oz) creates a keratin-reinforced barrier that reduces chlorine and salt water penetration.
After Swimming: Clarify and Restore
After pool or ocean swimming, use the Clarifying Shampoo for Oily Hair & Scalp to remove chlorine, salt, and mineral buildup. Follow immediately with a deep conditioning treatment.
Weekly: Deep Conditioning Treatment
Summer requires weekly deep conditioning — not monthly. The Kitsch Deep Conditioning Hair Mask (10 oz) with coconut oil moisturizes, strengthens, and reduces frizz for all hair types — apply after shampooing, leave for 20–30 minutes, rinse with cool water.
For severely sun-damaged hair, the BONDIBOOST Miracle Hair Mask (8.45 fl oz) with argan oil and biotinoyl tripeptide-1 is clinically proven to improve split ends — sulfate-free, fine-hair friendly, and deeply restorative.
Summer Hair Protection Checklist

Summer hair protection is a daily habit, not a one-time treatment. Build the routine. Keep the health.
