"Salt, sun and chlorine" are what Cutler says cause certain hair colors (mostly blondes and redheads) to turn brassy. In order to restore your hair color to its former glory, he recommends heading to the salon for a gloss or glaze treatment. They are less costly than getting full color and will restore the tone of your original hue while adding shine. Once your color is repaired, use color protecting shampoos and conditioners (try Pureology Hydrate Shampoo and Conditioner, $22.95 each) and always apply a UV blocking styling product before heading outdoors (try Kiehl's Leave-In Hair Conditioner, 29.50).

If your hair seems frizzier now then it did when summer started, Cutler recommends swapping your regular styling products for straightening cream (try Redken Straight 05 Straightening Balm, $12.99) -- even if you don't straighten your hair. They are designed to fill in the hair's cuticle so that it looks smoother (as in frizz free).

This may seem like a no-brainer, but many women complain that moisturizing conditioners weigh their hair down, so remember, if your hair is fine or tends to lay flat on top, only apply conditioning treatments from your mid shaft to your ends. "Generally hair isn't dry at the roots," Reitman says, so you can skip that area.

Cutler explains that swimmer's shampoos (like Kiehl's All Sport Swimmer's Cleansing Rinse for Hair and Body, $18) are designed to break down chlorine, which is great, but that they can be extremely drying to hair. Use a hydrating shampoo and conditioner (try Aveeno Nourish + Moisturize Shampoo and Conditioner, $6.49 each) on the days you don't use the swimmer's shampoo. If you swim regularly and have blonde hair, use a swimmer shampoo twice a week. If you're a brunette, you'll likely only need to use it once a week.

If your hair color has faded or changed due to exposure to chlorine, sun, etc., visit your stylist and have them help you decide on a course of action and specific products to use at home in order to get your color back where it started. "Different hair colors react differently," says Reitman when asked how women can "fix" color at home. He warns that taking matters into your own hands could leave you with less than desirable results.
