Julie Chrisley underwent a makeover after she was pardoned for her financial crimes and released from prison.

The “Chrisley Knows Best” alum was photographed with shoulder-length blond hair while stopping to take photos with two young fans, according to photos shared via TikTok on Sunday.

She glammed up with pink eyeshadow and a peach-toned blush.

Chrisley, 52, wore a blue blouse and jeans for the outing.

According to the reality star’s fans, she asked to take a photo with them.

She returned to her roots after stepping out with brown and gray hair on May 29, one day after she was let go from the Federal Medical Center in Lexington, Ky.

At the time, Chrisley was spotted leaving a butcher shop and hopping into a car while in Nashville, Tenn.

The TV personality’s 28-year-old son, Chase Chrisley, insisted his mom wouldn’t be returning to blond despite asking her to reconsider.

“My mother is an angel. Her hair is darker now,” he told “Entertainment Tonight” last month.

“I’m like, ‘Mama, we gotta go back to platinum blonde,’ and she was like, ‘I’m not doing that,’” Chase quipped.

Chase also shared that his dad, Todd Chrisley, got “jacked” in the gym after he worked out almost every day.

Todd, 56, was locked up at the Federal Prison Camp in Pensacola, Fla., for the same crimes as Julie.

The couple, who have maintained their innocence, were convicted of tax evasion and bank fraud in June 2022 and received a combined 19 years in prison.

After two years behind bars, President Trump pardoned Todd and Julie on May 27.

The Chrisleys’ attorneys told Page Six that the pardon “corrects a deep injustice.”

Summer fun is finally in the air—and we’re soaking up every sun-drenched, joy-filled minute of it. From lazy beach days to breezy evening chill sessions, the season is all about letting loose.

But while your schedule may be more carefree, your beauty routine shouldn’t completely go on vacation. Sun exposure, chlorine, salt water, and humidity can quietly wreak havoc on your hair, skin, and nails leading to dryness, breakage, and irritation if you’re not careful.

Don’t sweat it though. We went to leading dermatologists plus celebrity hairstylists, hair colorists, and nail pros to help you craft a warm-weather game plan that’ll stave off damage and keep you looking and feeling fresh. Because summer your summer memories should be fuzzy and glowing — not your split ends and sunburns.

 Hair

Safeguard your scalp

Think about it: Your scalp is the closest part of your body to the sun and needs protection just like every other inch of your skin.

“The scalp is often overlooked when it comes to sun protection but is highly susceptible to sunburn and cumulative sun damage, which can lead to premature aging and even skin cancer,” says board-certified cosmetic dermatologist and Mohs surgeon Dr. Dendy Engelman of NYC’s Shafer Clinic. She recommends applying a lightweight powder or spray sunscreen to any exposed areas of the scalp.

Board-certified dermatologist and co-founder of ERLY, Dr. Hallie McDonald, suggests that those with longer hair wear it pulled back, and be sure to cover your part when in the sun.

As for bald or closely shaved heads: Go for a lotion-based mineral sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, just as you would for your face, says Dr. McDonald. “And remember, even if you’re wearing a hat, sunscreen always adds a critical layer of protection, especially if you’ll be taking it off throughout the day,” she says.

Protect strands pre- and post-pool

Yes, pool time is precious. But chlorine can do a number on hair if you don’t make a concerted effort to care for it.

“Chlorine is a strong oxidizing agent that strips the hair’s natural lipid layer leading to cuticle damage, increased porosity, dryness, breakage, and scalp irritation,” says board-certified dermatologist Dr. Ellen Marmur, founder of MM Skincare. The key is to stay one step ahead of chlorine’s harsh effects.

Here’s your pro-approved, pool day action plan: Rinse hair with clean water before taking a dip so your hair is saturated and won’t absorb as much chlorine, says Dr. Marmur. Apply leave-in conditioner or a protective oil beforehand as well. “If you already have a good vitamin E oil at home, that’s an excellent choice to create a protective barrier,” says Temur Hamilton, colorist, stylist, and owner of NYC’s TEMUR salon.

Rinse hair thoroughly after swimming. Then use a clarifying shampoo to remove build-up. “DIY weekly use of 1 part apple cider vinegar to 3 parts water, or a baking soda rinse, may assist in mild detoxing,” says Dr. Marmur. Always follow your wash with a rich conditioner or mask to rehydrate hair.

Recalibrate your routine for sweaty season

Increased oil and perspiration are on the “summer beauty bummer” list, but they can simply be handled with a little extra TLC. “To cleanse the scalp and restore its natural balance, I recommend using a scalp scrub that gently but thoroughly removes buildup,” says Hamilton. “It detoxifies the scalp while cleansing the hair of any impurities leaving it fresh.” (But limit using scrubs to only once or twice a week to avoid over exfoliating, warns Dr. Engleman.)

If you wash your hair daily, you may need a gentler approach. “It’s better to use a lightweight shampoo or co-wash to just gently cleanse while maintaining the moisture balance in your hair,” says Miguel Luis, hairstylist at Rita Hazan Salon.

Make sure color doesn’t quit

“Summer can be a challenge for maintaining a vibrant hair color,” says Rita Hazan, celebrity colorist and founder of Rita Hazan Salon. There’s the sun exposure, then the salt water, and let’s not forget about the chlorine and sweating which leads to more frequent washing. “These natural ‘strippers’ can result in fading or drying hair conditions,” says Hazan.

The result? Blondes might experience a greenish tint from chlorine while brunettes and redheads can struggle with brassiness from sun, salt water, and chlorine exposure. Hazan recommends using a color-depositing gloss to bring color back to life; there are at-home treatments that can do the trick.

Deep condition weekly

Too much fun in the sun can be less than enjoyable for your hair, but the good news is that you can reinvigorate strands with hydration. Apply a deep conditioner or mask, hop out of the shower and use a heated cap or wrap hair in a damp, warm towel and sit for 10-15 minutes to help those reviving nutrients penetrate.

Tame the frizz

Frizz happens when hair absorbs moisture from the air and then starts to swell up, so, if you keep your hair well-hydrated, it won’t pull as much moisture from the humidity in the air — and will give you a fighting chance against instant hair inflation. Post shampoo and conditioner, use a moisturizing leave-in styling formula like a cream or serum to seal cuticles and smooth hair.

Switch to air-drying

There’s no better time to take a break from the blow-dryers and irons and explore your natural texture than in summer; you’re not looking to do anything hot once you’re finally in the AC, and your hair will appreciate the reprieve from heat styling.

To get the best results, after shampooing and conditioning Luis suggests blotting away excess moisture with a cotton t-shirt or microfiber towel. “Then apply a leave-in product that works with your texture, whether it’s a cream, sea-salt spray or styling balm,” says Luis. One thing to note is that you have curls or coils, apply product to hair when it’s super wet; you might even consider doing it while still in the shower. Stylers will penetrate better so texture is defined sans frizz. Once your product mix is in, hands off. “Avoid touching your hair while it dries to prevent frizz—let things happen naturally,” says Luis.

Get ahead of flat hair

When it comes to keeping fine hair looking fresh and full, it all starts in the shower. “Start with a volumizing or balancing shampoo that lifts at the root while being careful that it’s not over-drying,” says Luis. As you apply conditioner, be extra mindful of only using it on the ends of your hair so as not to weight down the roots. And if your style starts to fall flat, using dry shampoo or texturizing spray on dry hair can help bring it back to life, he says.

Skin

Follow the SPF basics

You’ve heard them time and time again, but they’re always worth emphasizing.

• Use at least SPF 30: Doctors agree on this protection prescription: Using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily on face and body is a must. “For face, I prefer mineral formulas that won’t clog pores or cause irritation,” says Dr. McDonald, who likes her ERLY Start Moisturizer with SPF 40 because it provides physical sun protection with zinc oxide and also encourages collagen growth with peptides.
• Apply the right amount: Most people aren’t using enough. For the face, a nickel-sized dollop is recommended. As for the body, you need about a shot glass full to cover your entire body.
• Reapply every two hours: Thanks to sweat, swimming, and some UV absorption, sunscreen loses its efficacy over time. That’s why reapplying every two hours is so important, especially if you’re spending time outside. “The intensity of UV radiation is much higher in summer, so consistency matters,” says Dr. McDonald. Also, if you’re using last year’s SPF, remember that sunscreen has an expiration date so be sure to check it before applying.

Soothe a sunburn

No judgement: sunburns sometimes happen to even the most diligent sunscreen wearers. A post-sun exposure routine helps quell irritation. First, cool down skin with cool compresses or a cool shower. 

“For the face and body, opt for a fragrance-free aloe gel to calm and soothe redness,” says Dr. Mona Gohara, board-certified dermatologist and Dove partner. “Since sunburned skin tends to become dry and irritated, follow up with a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer to help restore hydration.”

Speaking of hydration, be sure to up your water intake. “Sunburn pulls fluid toward the skin’s surface and can increase the risk of dehydration,” says Dr. McDonald. “Drinking extra water during recovery helps support your body’s healing process.”

If the area is blistering, you may have a second-degree burn. Leave the blisters intact as they act as a natural barrier to protect against infection and support healing, says Dr. McDonald. Make sure the blistered area stays clean and apply a layer of petroleum jelly for added protection.  

Go easy on exfoliation

In the summer, your skin is already working overtime—sun exposure, sweat, and heat can all weaken the skin barrier and increase sensitivity, says Dr. McDonald. To keep it healthy and balanced, resist the urge to overdo it. Stick to exfoliating just once or twice a week using a gentle formula. And don’t forget to follow up with a hydrating moisturizer and broad-spectrum sunscreen to lock in moisture and protect your glow.

Lighten up your skincare

“In summer, the most common skin concerns I see are dehydration, increased oiliness, clogged pores, and sun-induced irritation or pigmentation,” says Dr. Engelman. To combat these issues, she recommends maintaining a lightweight but hydrating skincare routine, incorporating gentle cleansers and oil-free moisturizers. “For clogged pores and excess oil, products with salicylic acid or niacinamide work wonderfully to balance the skin,” she says. “One of my favorite tips is to apply vitamin C serum before your SPF, as this helps prevent sunscreen-induced acne.” And, of course, consistent use of broad-spectrum SPF is essential to protect against sun damage and prevent pigmentation.

Nails

Nail down hydration

Chlorine and salt water can sap moisture from your nail beds leading to brittleness and peeling, says NYC-based celebrity nail pro Sunshine. Her go-to advice? Always keep a nourishing cuticle oil or balm within reach, whether it’s in your purse or tucked into your beach bag. “You can never over-hydrate,” she says. “In summer, more moisture is always more.”

Put your best feet forward

Taking care of your feet should be a year-round priority, but as sandal season kicks in, it’s especially important to make sure your toes are ready for the spotlight. “I recommend getting pedicures every two weeks throughout the year—not just in summer,” says Sunshine. “Staying on top of your pedicures helps maintain toenail health and allows you to catch any issues early.”

If a biweekly pedicure (whether professional or DIY) isn’t realistic, aim for at least once a month. And if you’re a gel polish fan, consider switching to regular polish for the season. “Because gel lasts longer, people tend to leave it on too long,” she explains. “My biggest don’t? Leaving any polish—gel or regular—on for more than three weeks. It can dry out the nail and lead to brittleness.”

Don’t skip the SPF

Just like your scalp (and ears, neck, and nose), hands and feet often get overlooked when it comes to sun protection—but they need love too, says Dr. Engelman.  “I always recommend applying sunscreen to your hands, feet, and nail beds to provide full protection,” she explains. “While nails themselves don’t burn, the skin surrounding them is vulnerable to sun damage.”

Summer sun and heat can also dry out the skin on your hands, leaving them rough and brittle. Dr. Engelman suggests keeping them hydrated with a rich hand cream and nourishing cuticle oil. Better yet, reach for a multitasking formula that includes SPF for added protection.
