Fight The "Bright Fight"!



With the weather warming and the sun coming out from behind those winter clouds, people are spending more and more time outside in the gorgeous weather. Just remember, while those rays are helping you start that summer tan, they are also beating down on your gorgeous, colored hair.



UV rays and direct sunlight are the number one culprit of faded haircolor!  To help protect your hair when you are outdoors, here are a few tips:



  •  Moisturize:  Make sure you keep your hair moisturized, with conditioners you use in the shower, and leave in after the shower.  These can help keep your hair supple and less susceptible to the sun's harmful rays. 

  • Keep your hair covered when you are going to be outside for long periods of time. 

  • Many of Kerastase's products have UV filtration already included in the products.  This helps to provide you with an included element of protection.

  • The Soleil line in Kerastase is a family of specially formulated products that protect against sun damage and other natural elements.  It also especially helps to preserve your color from the sun's damaging rays. Check out Soleil Products here: 

  • Talk to your stylist!  She will be able to recommend the products that are best for your hair, and those that will protect it the best!
