FAQs

Is this cream suitable for all hair types, including fine hair?

Yes, the Umberto Giannini Swim Proof Hair Protect Cream is formulated to be ideal for all hair types. For fine hair, we recommend starting with a smaller amount and adjusting as needed to avoid weighing down strands.

Do I need to rinse this product out after applying it?

No, this is a leave-in conditioning cream. Apply it and leave it in your hair; there's no need to rinse it out, allowing its protective and moisturizing benefits to last.

Can I apply this product to dry hair, or does my hair need to be damp?

You can apply the cream to both damp, towel-dried hair or completely dry hair. Applying to damp hair may help with easier and more even distribution throughout your strands.

How often should I reapply the cream, especially during a long day at the beach or pool?

Apply the cream before swimming or sunbathing. For prolonged exposure to water or sun, it's advisable to reapply every few hours or after towel-drying your hair to maintain optimal and continuous protection.

Does this product offer heat protection for styling tools?

The primary function of this cream is to protect hair from chlorine, salt water, and UV sun damage. While it provides hydration and nourishment, it is not specifically marketed as a heat protectant for styling tools like flat irons or curling wands. For heat styling, a dedicated heat protectant is recommended.

Will this cream make my hair feel greasy or heavy?

When used correctly, the cream creates an invisible veil without making hair feel greasy. To avoid a heavy feeling, start with a small amount and focus on mid-lengths and ends. Adjust the quantity to suit your hair's specific needs and texture.

Is it safe to use on color-treated or chemically processed hair?

Absolutely. This cream contains UV filters specifically designed to help preserve the visible vibrancy of colored hair and protect it from sun-induced fading, making it safe and highly beneficial for color-treated and chemically processed hair.

Troubleshooting

Hair still feels dry or brittle after swimming/sun exposure.

Ensure you are applying a sufficient amount of cream, especially to the most exposed areas. For prolonged water activities or intense sun, reapply the product every few hours. Rinsing hair with fresh water before and after swimming can also enhance protection by removing excess chlorine or salt.

Hair feels greasy or heavy after applying the cream.

You might be using too much product for your hair type or applying it too close to the roots. Start with a smaller, pea-sized amount and apply primarily to the mid-lengths and ends, avoiding the scalp area. Adjust the quantity until you find the right balance for your hair.

Color-treated hair still seems to fade despite using the product.

While the cream contains UV filters, extreme or exceptionally prolonged sun exposure can still impact hair color. Ensure thorough and even application before exposure. For very long days in the sun, consider wearing a hat in addition to using the cream for enhanced protection.

Difficulty distributing the product evenly through hair.

Apply the cream to damp, towel-dried hair for easier distribution. Alternatively, after initially applying, use a wide-tooth comb to gently work the product through all your strands, ensuring complete and even coverage from mid-lengths to ends.
