Long days, sunshine, and beach waves — summer can be magical, but not always for your hair. Between intense UV rays, salty sea breezes, and chlorine-filled pools, summer and your hair are not always best friends. In this second part of our Hair & the Seasons series, we’re diving into how summer affects your hair and, more importantly, how to protect it.
☀️Why Summer and Your Hair Don’t Always Mix
Summer and your hair face unique challenges together — the sun dehydrates, saltwater roughens, and chlorine weakens your strands. Here’s what you’re up against:
🌊What Summer Does to Your Hair
✔️ Sun exposure breaks down hair proteins and fades colour.
✔️ Saltwater strips natural oils, leaving hair rough and tangled.
✔️ Chlorine weakens and dries out your hair, especially if it’s chemically treated.
✔️ Heat and humidity increase frizz, static, and split ends.
🧴 How to Protect Your Hair from the Summer Elements
🌞 Summer and Your Hair – The Protection Plan
✔️ Wear a wide-brim hat or scarf – not only stylish, but shields your hair from direct UV exposure.
✔️ Use UV-protectant hair spray or serum – just like your skin, your hair needs sunscreen too.
✔️ Rinse your hair before swimming – wet hair absorbs less salt or chlorine.
✔️ Apply a leave-in conditioner before beach or pool days – forms a protective barrier.
✔️ Wash with a clarifying shampoo once a week – to remove salt and chemical buildup.
✔️ Deep condition weekly – to replenish lost moisture.
Enjoy the sunshine — without sacrificing your strands. When it comes to summer and your hair, prevention is key. With just a few smart changes in your routine, you can protect your hair from sun, salt, and chlorine while keeping it hydrated, shiny, and happy.
