Summer Haircare Do's & Definitely-Do-Nots for Sea & Pool Lovers in Cyprus

(Plus How to Prep and Protect Your Hair All Season Long!)
If you're lucky enough to live in Cyprus year-round, chances are your days are filled with dips in the sea, pool sessions, sunbathing, and sweat — and we love it! But your hair? Not so much... unless you're caring for it properly.
Let’s start by busting a common myth:
MYTH: “Washing your hair every day is bad.”
TRUTH: If you’re swimming, sweating, or soaking up sun every day — you should wash your hair daily.
Here’s why: leaving salt, chlorine, sunscreen, and sweat in your hair to dry (or even worse — sleeping on it!) can lead to dryness, damage, buildup, breakage, scalp issues, and even hair loss. Your hair and scalp need a gentle cleanse after every exposure to the elements. The key is using the right products — and that’s where Paul Mitchell® comes in.
🧴 How to Prep Your Hair for Summer
As the sun-soaked days of summer draw near, now’s the time to rethink your hair routine. Summer in Cyprus brings UV rays, humidity, saltwater, and chlorine — all of which can zap moisture, cause colour fade, and create frizz. But with a few simple tweaks and some summer-specific products, your hair can stay healthy, soft, and protected.
🎨 Protect Your Colour
Sunshine may bring out natural highlights, but for coloured hair, it can be brutal. UV rays cause fading and dehydration. If you colour your hair, try:
Paul Mitchell® Color Protect Shampoo & Conditioner
Shields colour-treated hair from UV rays
Gently cleanses and hydrates
Helps maintain vibrancy and softness
Pro Tip: Add a leave-in like Color Protect Locking Spray to create a barrier against sun and sea.
Do’s & Don’ts for Swimmers and Sun-Lovers
DO:
Wash your hair with fresh water after swimming
Use a clarifying or swimmer’s shampoo after sea or pool days
Always condition or detangle after washing, leave-in's are good if your on the go
Use UV protection sprays when you're in the sun
Deep treat your hair weekly
DON’T:
Don’t let chlorine or salt dry into your hair
Don’t skip wash day if you’ve been sweating or swimming
Don’t use heavy oils under the sun (they can literally cook your hair)
Don’t skip conditioner — ever!
