3 easy ways to achieve luminous, healthy-looking hair color, like Jessica's:

Seek Products for Color-Treated Hair
Whether you dye your entire head or opt for a few seasonal streaks, color is color. Be sure to stock your shower with shampoos and conditioners formulated for color-treated hair, and skip shampoo every other wash (simply rinse with water then follow with conditioner).

Guard Your Tresses
Your skin's not the only surface that requires shielding from the sun's harmful rays. To help keep your highlights looking their best, spike your daily conditioner with a dollop of inexpensive SPF and opt for styling products that boast built-in UVA and UVB protectors.

Deal With Damage
Sun, surf and chemicals can all take their toll on color-treated hair, so be sure to proactively treat your tresses throughout the summer months. Weekly: Prolong your highlights with a detoxifying shampoo and hydrating mask. Monthly: See your stylist for a trim.
