Sunshine and Its Effects on Hair Color


Brisbane’s bright sunshine and Redlands’ coastal lifestyle are irresistible. However, these conditions can cause damage to your hair color. UV rays weaken the hair cuticle and break down pigment molecules, which results in once-vibrant hues looking flat, brassy, and faded. Luckily, a few simple habits and the right products can help.


Consider incorporating Wella Professionals’ EIMI Glam Mist and Kevin Murphy’s YOUNG.AGAIN Wash & Rinse into your hair care routine. These products will keep your color salon-fresh from the river to the reef.


Prevention is Key


First up, prevention is essential. Before stepping outside, lightly mist damp or dry hair with EIMI Glam Mist Shine Spray. This product is specifically formulated to protect against humidity and UV damage while adding a weightless gloss. You can find it here: Wellastore.


It’s a perfect on-the-go shield; keep a travel-size version in your beach bag and reapply after prolonged sun exposure.


Switch Your Shampoo and Conditioner


When it comes to cleansing your hair, consider swapping to Kevin Murphy YOUNG.AGAIN Wash & Rinse. This antioxidant-rich duo gently removes impurities while shielding strands from free-radical damage. Free radicals are one of the main culprits behind sun-induced color fade. You can purchase it here: Hair Plus.


To use, massage through wet hair, let the rinse sit for a minute, and then rinse thoroughly to lock in moisture and defend against UV stress.


Freshwater Rinses


After a dip in the pool or a splash in Moreton Bay, salt and chlorine can exacerbate fading. A quick freshwater rinse under the tap can remove these harmful minerals before they leach color.


At home, use a swimmer’s shampoo once a week. This helps to chelate residual chemicals. Follow this treatment with your YOUNG.AGAIN Rinse for a smoothing, protective finish.


Smart Styling Techniques


Styling your hair smartly can make a big difference, too. Finish your blow-dry with a cool-shot blast. This will seal the cuticle and lock in pigment effectively.


When you need extra hold, apply a pea-sized amount of a lightweight serum through your mid-lengths and ends. Look for silicone-free formulas that won't strip or weigh your hair down.


Accessorize for Protection


Don’t underestimate the power of accessories. A wide-brimmed straw hat or a UV-rated scarf not only complements your summer wardrobe but also shields delicate roots and part lines, which are most prone to fading.


For more active days, twist your hair into a loose braid or a low bun. This hairstyle minimizes the surface area exposed to sun and salt.


Salon-Grade Protection


If you’re after long-lasting protection, consider our salon-grade UV-defense services. Our color gloss treatments deposit a thin layer of semi-permanent pigments and UV-blocking agents to extend vibrancy.


Additionally, keratin smoothing infusions seal the cuticle and reinforce your hair’s natural barrier against environmental stress.


Conclusion: Maintain Gorgeous Hair This Season


Sun, salt, and pool days don’t have to mean the end of your gorgeous hair color. With the right routine—backed by EIMI Glam Mist and Kevin Murphy YOUNG.AGAIN, along with a handful of smart habits—you can enjoy radiant, resilient color all summer long.
