How to Repair Summer-Damaged Color

Summer in Manhattan is pure magic — rooftop sunsets, park picnics, and endless sunshine. But UV rays, chlorine, and heat styling can take a toll on your hair, fading color and drying out strands. As Fall settles in, it’s the perfect time to refresh and revive.
Here are three expert pro tips from Hair N’ Now NYC color specialists to restore your post-summer color brilliance.

Pro Tip 1: Revive Color Brilliance with a Gloss or Toner

Prolonged sun exposure can leave blondes brassy, reds rusty, and brunettes flat. An in-salon color gloss or toner instantly revives faded hues and adds a mirror-like shine.
Our go-to: Redken Shades EQ Gloss, a professional-grade demi-permanent toner that enhances vibrancy, balances undertones, and leaves hair silky and reflective. For at-home maintenance between visits, Wella Professionals Color Fresh Mask keeps your shade radiant and nourished.

Pro Tip 2: Restore Moisture with Deep Conditioning

Faded color usually signals moisture loss. After summer’s heat and humidity, your hair needs serious rehydration. A deep conditioning treatment rebuilds softness and smoothness while locking in color.
We recommend Oribe Gold Lust Transformative Masque — infused with white tea and bio-restorative actives — to strengthen and deeply moisturize. For color-treated or highlighted hair, Pureology Strength Cure Superfood Mask adds extra nourishment without weighing strands down.

Pro Tip 3: Rebuild Strength with a Bond-Repair Treatment

If you’ve noticed brittleness, breakage, or lack of elasticity, your internal hair bonds likely need repair. Professional bond-building treatments fortify the hair from within, restoring resilience so your next color holds and shines longer.
We trust Olaplex Professional Stand-Alone Treatment to rebuild molecular bonds and restore hair integrity, and Goldwell BondPro+ to shield hair during future coloring services.

Pro Tip Bonus: Personalize Your Repair Plan

The most effective color repair plan is customized to your unique hair profile — scalp health, color history, texture, and styling habits all matter.
