It might still be swim and sun season, but when it comes to our hair — it’s never too early to prep for the end-of-summer damage that usually takes place. Whether your hair is highlighted, glossed, dyed, or natural, we’ve got a few care tips to ensure a new season of ultra-healthy hair.
How To Repair Summer Hair Damage
Protect:
The first step toward protecting your hair against summer damage is by using a hat or applying a mask before enjoying the sun. By creating a physical barrier between your strands and UV rays it helps cut down on excess damage. Applying a mask to your hair before getting in the pool or taking a dip in the ocean also adds an extra layer of protection for your hair color and increases the health of your hair. We suggest Wella Professionals Fusion Intense Repair Mask to protect against future damage and up to 95% more resilience against breakage.* *VS. Non-Conditioning Shampoo.
Repairing Shampoo + Conditioner
If the damage has already been done, it’s time to start looking at how to repair it. Swap your normal shampoo and conditioner for Wella Professionals ULTIMATE REPAIR Shampoo & Conditioner. This powerful duo consists of a lightweight cream shampoo and deeply nourishing conditioner that visibly repairs damaged hair with a light, healthy-look and shinier* hair after each use. *vs. non-conditioning shampoo. The formula is powered by Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) to rebuild the inside strength of the hair and Omega 9 to replenish the outside layer of damaged hair.

Get A Salon Treatment
In-salon treatments provide a new level of care when it comes to your hair. Case in point: Wella Professionals Shinefinity! From refreshing your tone to adding up to 250% shinier hair*, Shinefinity is a zero lift, zero damage salon treatment that can be added to any service in an instant. Pair it with your next haircut, blow-dry, bang trim, root touch up, or highlights — it is the ultimate end-of-summer add-on that will keep your color looking perfect all year long. *versus untreated bleached hair.
Air Dry Your Hair
Cutting down on heat damage is one of the top ways to stop damage from even starting. Consider switching to an air-dry routine or decreasing the number of times you use hot tools each week. By giving your hair a break from the heat you’ll notice your natural texture become more enhanced, color lasts longer and your ends will look much less damaged. Whenever you do heat style, prep hair with Wella Professionals EIMI Thermal Image to shield the hair up to 428F and create a shiny, smooth finish.
