Hair Extensions in Summer – Protection Tips for Finnish Summer

Summer and Hair Extensions

Finnish summer offers long days, lake swimming, and outdoor events. Extensions can enjoy summer with you, as long as you remember a few important things.

Sun Protection

UV radiation fades extension color and dries them out. Use hair spray with UV protection and wear hats or scarves during long sun sessions.

Swimming

• Wet hair with clean water before swimming – it reduces chlorine or lake water absorption
• Use a swim cap when possible
• Rinse hair immediately after swimming
• Apply conditioner before swimming as a protective layer

Lake Water and Sea Water

In Finland, lake water is generally gentler on extensions than sea water or chlorinated water. Still, rinsing with clean water after swimming is always recommended.

After Summer

After summer, it’s good to book a maintenance appointment at your salon. A professional can assess the condition of your extensions and perform necessary maintenance.
