Don’t Kill Your Extensions with Sunscreen: What You Need to Know This Summer

Don’t Kill Your Extensions with Sunscreen: What You Need to Know This Summer

Jack Winn Leave-In Is Like Sunscreen for Your Hair

Sunscreen is a non-negotiable in your summer routine—but if you’re not careful, it could ruin your hair. At Brushd Boutique Salon in Holbrook, NY, we’ve seen firsthand how certain sunscreens can damage hair extensions, especially lighter shades. But there’s a simple fix: knowing where your sunscreen goes—and what your hair needs instead.

Why Sunscreen Can Damage Your Hair (Especially Extensions)

You wouldn’t hit the beach without SPF on your shoulders—but when it comes to your hair and extensions, that same sunscreen can cause real issues. Many chemical sunscreens contain avobenzone, an ingredient that reacts with minerals in water and causes light-colored hair to turn orange or pink—a nightmare for blonde and bronde extension wearers.

Plus, traditional sunscreens aren’t meant for your hair. They leave behind residue, dry out strands, and can even cause buildup at the root, especially around extension wefts.

The Simple Fix: Jack Winn Leave-In

If sunscreen is for your skin, Jack Winn Leave-In is for your hair. It acts as a lightweight protective barrier against sun, heat, and dryness—without the harmful ingredients that damage extensions.

Why We Love It:

  • Protects natural hair and extensions from UV and heat damage
  • Hydrates and detangles in one step
  • Smells like summer (think subtle coconut + fresh)
  • Doesn’t weigh hair down or leave residue
  • Safe for daily use and all hair types

How to Use Jack Winn Leave-In the Right Way

Use it before sun exposure, heat styling, or hitting the pool. Mist it on damp or dry hair, focusing on the mids and ends—especially if you’re wearing hand-tied weft extensions. Reapply lightly throughout the day if you’re spending long hours outdoors.

And if your extensions are blonde, bronde, or light brown—consider this your must-have summer essential.

Summer Hair Protection, Done Right

At Brushd Boutique Salon, we specialize in custom hair extensions and lived-in color that’s made to last—but your haircare habits matter just as much as your services. Adding the right protection (and avoiding the wrong products) helps your extensions stay soft, glossy, and true to tone.

Pro Tip: When applying sunscreen to your body, pull your hair up and apply it with clean hands. Let it fully absorb before letting your hair back down. It’s the little things that save your hair in the long run.
