Summer Hair Tips: Your Partner in Shine

Consider this our official application to be your partner in shine.
You're living the summer dream, but your hair doesn't have to pay the price. We're here to make sure you've got summer on lock - chlorine, salt, and sun are no match for us.
From the shower to the styling, we are here to protect your lengths and keep them looking and feeling fresh all summer long. Scroll on for our top picks of holiday-approved haircare, designed to protect and maintain hair health from sunrise to sunset.
Summer Shower Essentials
Of course, it all starts in the shower.
By reaching for a hydrating shampoo and conditioner, you are helping your strands to recover from any sun damage that may have occurred since your last wash, transforming your lengths from dry and brittle to hydrated and smooth.
Natural oils are needed for healthy hair, so revive dry strands with a shampoo and conditioner that promises deep nourishment, enriched with hair-loving hydrators. Well hydrated hair is also stronger and less prone to breakage, so you can feel secure whether your holiday hair plans are beach waves or slick backs.
Our top picks are from the Kérastase Gloss Absolu range, as the formula is full of deeply hydrating ingredients to give your strands a much-needed quench after a day in the summer sunshine.
Best Heat Protectants for Summer
Essential whether sunbathing in the morning or styling in the evening, heat protectants are an absolute necessity. Did you know that the sun burns microscopic holes in your hair? Protect your strands from breakage and heat damage with a high-quality heat protector.
From sprays to creams, it is easy to find the heat protectant that works for you and your hair type. We all know you can’t really trust those hotel hair dryers, so ensure you’ve got a protective shield handy before you even step only the plane.
Leave-In Conditioners and Hair Masks
To guarantee flowing locks all night long, have you considered a hair mask or leave-in conditioner?
A leave-in conditioner is perfect for more flat hair, designed to detangle, soften, and hydrate without weighing hair down.
A hair mask works perfectly for drier hair types, coating the strands in a deeply nourishing, thick treatment that nourishes and smooths.
Leave the mask on while you lounge by the pool, and spritz a leave-in conditioner before heading out on an evening. Your summer self-care just got a major upgrade.
Styling and Finishing Summer Hair
For effortless summer hair – because it’s too hot to spend an hour styling it – consider using all-in-one styling products like texture sprays or styling creams. Simply apply it through the hair and let it get to work.
Effortlessly tousled lengths or a slicked back bun, hair is instantly elevated with a styling product that is designed to enhance the hair’s natural texture and tone.
Enjoy safe time in the sunshine this summer by caring for not only your skin, but your strands too.
