Sun, chlorine, heat, and humidity:  the side effects of summer getaways can cause serious damage to your hair—but why sacrifice the fun when there are so many ways to protect yourself? Leave-in treatments, from oils to sprays, are a quick way to revitalize damaged, faded, and funky hair all while detangling and moisturizing the scalp. No one knows this better than the US Olympic Synchronized Swimming team: In 1984, they asked Philip Kingsley to create a treatment to protect their hair from continual exposure to chlorine. He delivered with Swimcap, a protective veil that keeps their locks as shiny as the Gold. Like other leave-ins, Swimcap combats dryness, color loss, and the always frightening thought that chlorine might turn your blonde green. Even if the swimming pool isn't your biggest concern, we've found some other great leave-in products that restore and protect, leaving you with luscious hair just in time for the fall.
