Summer Hair Prep: 6 Tips to Beat the Heat

Written By Sorcha Abbott
Discover 6 essential summer hair care tips to protect your locks from sun damage, dryness, and chlorine.

1. Use a UV-Protectant Spray

Protect your hair from sun damage by using a UV-protectant spray like the Kerastase Soliel spray-oil. It helps prevent dryness, brittleness, and colour fade – ideal before heading outdoors.

2. Switch to Moisture - Rich Shampoo & Conditioner

Sun, salt, and chlorine can strip your hair of moisture. Hydrating products with ingredients like shea butter or argan oil help restore softness and shine. Look to the Kerastase Nutritive range.

3. Deep Condition Weekly

Treat your hair to a deep conditioning mask once a week. It replenishes moisture and repairs sun or heat damage – especially important in warmer months. The Kerastase Nutritive intensive mask is our favourite pick for this.

4. Rinse with Cold Water

Finish your wash with a cold rinse to seal the cuticle, lock in moisture, and boost shine.

5. Rinse After Swimming

Saltwater and chlorine can be harsh. Rinse your hair with fresh water right after swimming to reduce damage and dryness.

6. Protect Your Scalp

Don’t forget your scalp! Wear a hat or use an SPF scalp spray to prevent sunburn and protect your roots.
