Your hair needs sun protection, too

Yesterday I shared my start-of-summer sunscreen picks, and I’d be remiss if I didn’t bring up the importance of shielding our hair from UV rays (especially if you highlight or color). A main culprit in color fading and brassiness in blondes, too much sun on your strands can cause dryness and damage—and have you at the salon more often than you’d like. While there are plenty of UV protection products designed specifically for our hair, (as always) Living Proof has taken this concept to the next level with the new-ish Whipped Glaze.

Similar to the glaze treatments you may have tried at the salon, this leave-in mousse revives and rebalances your color with temporary dye pigments to counteract any changes in color between appointments (and help you stretch the time between salon visits). Available in Light for blondes and Dark for redheads and brunettes, this foam also provides UV protection while leaving your hair soft and shiny. Living Proof recommends using it after every other wash, but you can use it every time until you reach your desired color vibrancy if you’d like. I haven’t tried it yet, but I have a feeling I’ll be needing this by the time we hit July!
