Beach-Proof Hair: Your Summer 2025 Guide

Beach days? Yes. Beach-damaged hair? No, thank you.

We love a good beach getaway, but let’s be honest: all that UV, saltwater, and humidity can leave your hair feeling like it went on a completely different trip. Here’s how to keep your hair healthy, hydrated, and beach-beautiful.

1. Hydrate Before You Go
Just like your skin, your hair needs a hydration plan before you hit the beach. Two to three days before your trip, use a deep conditioning mask to boost moisture.

⭐ Try:

• Redken All Soft Heavy Cream Mask – Adds softness and shine to dry, brittle hair.

• Kérastase Masquintense – Intense nourishment for thick or fine hair without weighing it down.

2. Protect Your Color (and Your Strands)
The sun can fade color-treated hair fast. Use a product that adds a protective layer for your hair color.

⭐ Try:

• Chroma Absolu Huile Éclat Radiance Sublimating Oil – Enriched with Centella Asiatica, a wild plant thriving in tropical environments, the oil preserves hair color and protects against high temperatures (230°C heat protection)

3. Wet Before You Swim
Salt and chlorine love to soak into dry hair. Saturate your hair with clean water or conditioner before going into the ocean or pool. This helps block salt and chlorine from absorbing into your strands.

⭐ Try:

• Redken One United Multi-Benefit Spray – Detangles, conditions, and offers heat + sun protection in one.

4. Loose Styles > Tight Styles
Go for low-maintenance styles that won’t tug or break your hair while it’s wet. Loose braids, messy buns, or a big claw clip are perfect!

5. Rinse & Refresh
Always rinse your hair after swimming, and don’t wait too long to remove salt, chlorine, or sand. Once you’re home, give your hair a full reset.

⭐ Try:

• Redken Detox Hair Cleansing Cream – A clarifying shampoo that gently removes buildup.

6. Pack Smart
Your essentials:
✔ Wide-tooth comb (no breakage)
✔ Microfiber towel or cotton T-shirt (less frizz)
✔ Leave-in conditioner or hair oil
✔ UV-protectant spray
✔ Your go-to hair tie or claw clip

7. Post-Vacay TLC
After your trip, treat your hair to a clarifying wash and a deep conditioning treatment. If your color took a hit or your ends feel rough, book a quick gloss or trim to bring your hair back to life!
