Can you tan with wet hair?

Published in Tanning 1 min read

You should not tan with wet hair. Wet hair can drip and cause damage to your developing tan, leading to uneven results or streaks. It's best to shower and rinse off any products an hour before your tanning appointment to avoid waiting with no products on your skin.

Here are some specific reasons why you should avoid tanning with wet hair:

  • Uneven Tan: Water droplets can interfere with the tanning solution, creating streaks or uneven color.
  • Damage to the Tan: Wet hair can drip onto your skin, diluting the tanning solution and causing it to fade faster.
  • Uncomfortable Experience: Wet hair can feel uncomfortable and make it difficult to relax during your tanning session.

In addition to the above, you should also avoid tanning right after shaving. This is because your pores are open, and the tanning solution can get into them, causing irritation or unevenness.
