Summer Hair Care: Top Tips From a Pro

Summer is an excellent time to rethink your hair care routine. This hot and humid season presents unique challenges for different types of hair, but with the right approach, you can keep your hair healthy and looking fabulous all summer long.

Ready to navigate the season with style? Here are some of our top tips for embracing your gorgeous hair this summer.

Embrace Your Natural Texture

Give your hair a break from heat styling during the hotter temps. If you have wavy or curly hair, consider embracing your natural texture.

Fighting against humidity to achieve straight or blown-out styles can be frustrating and often leads to repeated use of hot tools, causing excessive damage to hair.

This is especially true for color-treated hair, which is more fragile and susceptible to heat damage than natural hair.

Beach Waves and Frizz-Free Curls

To enhance your natural waves, try using a sea salt spray. Simply spritz it onto damp hair and scrunch for that effortless beachy look.

For those with curly hair, gel is your secret weapon against frizz. In humid weather, gel often outperforms heavy curl creams or anti-frizz balms, which can weigh hair down.

Apply gel to damp hair and let it dry, forming a protective cast around your curls. Once dry, gently break the cast with your hands for soft, defined, frizz-free curls.

Clarify and Chelate

Summer activities like swimming can leave residue in your hair, making it dry and damaged. As such, incorporating a clarifying or chelating shampoo into your routine is essential to keep your locks fresh and clean.

Clarifying shampoos remove product build-up while chelating shampoos tackle mineral deposits like chlorine. Use these specialized shampoos sparingly. A general rule is to use clarifying shampoo every other week and chelating shampoo once a month.

The frequency of use for these products depends on your hair’s porosity and how often you wash it. Always follow up with a hydrating conditioner or a reparative treatment like K18 or OLAPLEX to maintain your hair’s moisture balance.
