Protect Color, Tips 4-6

4. Keep hair from turning brassy.

Cover it with a head scarf, suggests Zane, colorist at the Hiro Haraguchi Salon in New York City. A swath of lightweight fabric (we love those by Banana Republic, $38, bananarepublic.com) will keep you much cooler than a baseball cap.

5. Coat strands.

Smooth on a silicone-based serum (like Dove Smoothing Frizz Control Anti-Frizz Cream for Normal to Slightly Dry Hair, $3.99, drugstores), going from roots to ends. It protects cuticles, preventing rays from fading color, says Rita Hazan, owner of the Rita Hazan salon in New York City.

6. Rinse like crazy.

Douse hair in fresh water soon after you swim to remove color faders like salt from the sea or, worse, chlorine from the pool. (Bottled water works in a pinch.)
