The Best Summer Hair Hacks You Need to Know

Tips For Managing Your Hair This Summer

It’s the time of the year that we have all been waiting for - Summer! The season of sun is here and amongst all the fun, we tend to forget the damaging effects the sun truly has. We know that the UV rays can do our skin more harm than good, but can the sun also damage your hair? The answer is, yes! The heat and UV rays can cause colour changes, hair fall and serious dehydration, resulting in weakened strands, split ends and breakage. It’s essential to develop a routine of hair care products to ensure the health of your hair when the weather starts to get warmer. 

Follow our guide to see how you can protect your hair from sun damage this summer as well as from all the fun activities the season has to offer.

How To Stop Summer Hair Fall

Losing hair during the summer is a common concern for many. As the temperatures and UV index rise, we experience greater dehydration that contributes to hair loss. Along with maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle, there are preventative measures that can be taken to stop summer hair fall. Investing in good quality hair treatment oils and serums can help to strengthen the hair follicles and stimulate hair growth. The TYPEBEA G1 Overnight Boosting Peptide Serum is the ultimate overnight growth serum for promoting less shedding of hair strands. With a powerful blend of plant-based ingredients, this serum penetrates into the scalp to not only prevent hair fall by 60% but also to increase strength and thickness of your hair. Suitable for all hair types, this leave-in hair treatment is guaranteed to deliver results of thicker, healthier hair, making it a great solution to preventing summer hair fall.

How To Keep Hair Hydrated During Summer

Ensuring your hair is well-hydrated during the summer can be a difficult task, especially when we are constantly out in the sun, whether by the pool or having a picnic, it feels unavoidable. That’s why it is important to upkeep an effective hair care routine to prevent dehydrated strands that result in breakage, hair fall, colour changes and the list goes on.

Best Moisturizing Shampoo And Conditioner

Developing a consistent hair washing routine is essential for allowing your hair to produce it’s own natural oils without stripping it dry. We recommend to wash 2-3 times per week during the summer, particularly if you are constantly outdoors. You want to maintain your hair’s health and removing dirt and build-up is the first step into doing so. Alongside this, choosing the right shampoos and hair conditioners is essential in addressing your hair concerns. The Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Trio includes a shampoo, conditioner and leave-in conditioner from the ABC range. This trio will transform your dry and brittle summer hair by intensely conditioning, repairing and fortifying without stripping the hair of its colour. This 3-step hair wash routine will leave your hair deeply hydrated, soft and tangle free, which is all you want and need during the summer months. 

Hydrating Hair Treatments For Dry Hair

After covering the effects of the sun on our hair, you might be thinking if it is even possible to get silky summer hair without avoiding the summer heat? The secret to silky summer hair is all in hydrating hair treatments. 

All that ocean swimming, chlorine, spending time in the sun, can make it feel impossible to achieve soft, hydrated hair. That’s where the K18 Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask comes in to save the day. This hair treatment mask is a must-have for dry, damaged hair as it works to reverse damage in as little as 4 minutes. After shampooing, dispense one pump into your hands, evenly distribute the product from roots to ends and let the mask work its magic. You’ll be left with stronger and smoother hair as the keratin in each strand is repaired. A great treatment to increase the resilience of your hair, especially amongst all the activities that summer has to offer. 

An overnight hair treatment mask is another way to boost moisture and hydration in your hair. The BondiBoost Overnight Magic Hair Mask is the ultimate luxurious mask to nourish your hair lengths. Simply leave in your hair overnight and rinse out thoroughly the next morning for healthier, intensely hydrated hair that lasts for up to 72 hours. The perfect summer hack for returning your hair back to its natural state of hydration. 

How To Protect Hair While Swimming

Nothing is worse than going for an afternoon pool swim to come out and see that your hair is green! Not only green, but dry and straw-like from the chlorine. And, wearing a swimcap is not fashionable poolside attire - so how do you prevent this from happening? The Philip Kingsley Swimcap Water Resistant Mask ensures that your hair is protected from chlorinated and salt water. This water-resistant formula prevents colour fading, protects from UV damage while also locking in moisture and shine, so you can still enjoy all the summer activities without compromising the look and feel of your hair.

You don’t have to compromise the appearance of your hair, especially if you have natural texture that doesn’t withstand heat and humidity very well. Summer styling means protective hairstyles are essential. Styling without heat, or using heat protection products are a must in your routine if you want to achieve silky and soft hair this summer.
