Sun, Salt, and Chlorine: How to Protect Your Hair This Summer
Introduction: Summer Fun, But at What Cost to Your Hair?
There is nothing like summer. Long days at the beach, dips in the pool, sunshine on your skin, and that light, carefree energy that only warm weather brings. But while you are out making memories, your hair is dealing with a lot behind the scenes.
Between UV rays, saltwater, chlorine, and humidity, summer can be tough on your strands. The result? Dryness, tangles, color fading, and even increased shedding. The good news is that with a few small changes and the right products, you can keep your hair healthy, hydrated, and growing strong all season.
Here is how to protect your hair this summer without giving up the sun-soaked days you love.
1. Shield Your Hair from the Sun
Just like your skin, your hair and scalp need protection from UV rays. Sun exposure can weaken the hair shaft, dry out your scalp, and lead to brittle strands and split ends.
What to do:
Wear a hat or scarf when possible. If you are not a hat person, apply a leave-in product before heading outdoors to help form a barrier. The hydrating ingredients in Hair Growth by Jailyne’s Conditioner can help seal in moisture and reduce sun damage when used consistently.
2. Rinse After Swimming in Salt or Chlorine
Saltwater and chlorine are both incredibly drying. They can strip natural oils, leave hair feeling crunchy, and make it more prone to breakage and tangling.
What to do:
Always rinse your hair with clean water after a swim. If you can, bring a small spray bottle to the beach or pool and use it as a quick rinse. At home, wash your hair with Hair Growth by Jailyne’s Shampoo to gently cleanse your scalp without harsh sulfates. It is designed to remove buildup while keeping your scalp balanced and healthy.
3. Hydrate Deeply at Least Once a Week
Your hair loses a lot of moisture during the summer. Whether it is the heat, air conditioning, ocean breeze, or just more time outdoors, your strands are constantly being challenged.
What to do:
Use a deep-conditioning mask weekly to replenish lost hydration. Hair Growth by Jailyne’s Hair Mask is packed with nourishing oils and proteins that help repair dryness and restore softness. Right now, it is also free when you buy the Shampoo and Conditioner as part of our Summer Essentials Promo — running through June 22.
4. Avoid Overstyling and Tight Hairstyles
Summer is a great time to give your hair a break. Heat styling, flat irons, and tight ponytails can put extra stress on your strands when they are already vulnerable from sun and water exposure.
What to do:
Go for air-dried waves, loose buns, or braids. Let your natural texture shine. When you do style, use a gentle touch and soft accessories to minimize breakage.
5. Stay Consistent with Your Routine
A consistent haircare routine is your best defense. Keeping your hair clean, hydrated, and nourished is the key to minimizing seasonal damage and promoting healthy growth all year round.
What to do:
Stick with your basics: shampoo, conditioner, weekly mask, and a scalp-friendly serum like Hair Growth by Jailyne’s Magic Drop Serum. These products are designed to work together to strengthen your hair and help it thrive — even in the toughest weather.
Conclusion: Summer Should Be Easy, and So Should Your Haircare
Summer is all about enjoying life, not stressing over your hair. With the right habits and products, you can keep your hair protected, nourished, and beautiful no matter how many pool parties, beach days, or hot afternoons are on your calendar.
To make things even easier, we’re offering our Summer Essentials Bundle — when you buy a Shampoo and Conditioner, you’ll get a Hair Mask completely free through June 22.
Let your hair grow stronger, even while you soak up the sun.

Once a week is usually enough, but if your hair feels extra dry from swimming or sun exposure, you can use it more often.
