TURN THE TIDE ON SUMMER DAMAGE

SUMMER HAIR CARE

PROTECT AND REPAIR HAIR FROM SUN, SALT AND CHLORINE

REPAIR & PROTECT YOUR HAIR

Three things do most of the damage to hair every summer: UV rays, salt water and chlorine. Each strips moisture and weakens the hair shaft in a slightly different way, which is why a single product rarely covers all of it. Here's what to use, and when, to protect hair before exposure and repair it afterwards.

Swimcap Water Resistant Mask

The Three Summer Threats, and How to Counter Each

UV rays break down hair's protein structure and fade colour. Salt water draws moisture out of the hair shaft, leaving it rough and prone to tangling. Chlorine strips natural oils and, on blonde or bleached hair, can react with copper in the water to turn strands green. Swimcap addresses all three: a water-resistant barrier that defends against dryness, damage and colour fade, while preventing bleached hair from discolouring.

Swimcap & Holiday Hair Care Explained

“Time and time again what I hear from people who use Swimcap is that their hair is in even better condition when they come back from holiday than when they went.”

"While a sunny holiday can do your mind a world of good, it's often not so great for your hair. This is due to damaging elements including chlorinated water, salt water, wind and UV rays."

FAQs

UV rays break down the protein bonds in hair and fade colour pigment. Chlorine strips natural oils and can react with copper particles in pool water to discolour blonde or bleached hair green. Both leave hair drier and more prone to breakage, but a barrier product like Swimcap defends against both at once.

No. A water-resistant barrier treatment such as Swimcap is formulated to protect against salt water, chlorine and UV exposure in a single application, so you don't need to switch products between the beach and the pool.

Apply before each swim or extended sun exposure. For daily protection during a hot spell without swimming, a lighter leave-in with UV filters is usually enough.

Yes. It acts as a barrier that prevents minerals in chlorinated water from binding to and discolouring blonde or highlighted hair.
