How to Keep Hair Extensions & Color Safe All Summer Long

At Clean Beauty Boutique, summer is all about sun, swim and safe strands! Ensure your summer is the best one yet, without compromising your hair color & extensions for it! Check out these five ways to keep your strands healthy and vibrant all season long — the Clean Beauty Boutique way:

Shield with SPF. Just like your skin, your hair needs sun protection, too! Use a UV/heat-protectant spray or serum to prevent sun damage and fading.

Wet before you get wet. Believe it or not, hair extensions are like a sponge and love soaking things up. Therefore, before diving into chlorinated or salty water, soak your hair in clean water first – and if you’re feeling a bit ambitious, you can even apply a leave-in conditioner! Give your hair extensions something nourishing first to fill them up before chlorine and salt can even get the invitation to the party. 😉

Put it in a braid or bun. Putting your hair in a loose braid or bun is not only a super cute hairstyle to help get your hair up and out of your face on a hot summer day, but it keeps your extensions safe and reduces tangles, frizz, unnecessary tension and breakage from wind and water.

Rinse & refresh. After your swim, rinse your hair with fresh water to remove the salt and/or chlorine. Then, gently cleanse with a sulfate-free shampoo to protect and nourish your color.

Treat yourself. Treat your hair to a deep conditioning mask once a week to keep it soft, shiny and strong. Looking for the best product to use? Check out or online shop to stock up on our clean haircare essentials HERE!
