9 Summer Haircare Tips
Kelly Hamilton • May 20, 2022
Summer is on the way!
Ottalaus stylists have put together some great tips for protecting and caring for your locks all season long!
- Start the summer with a good trim (book now)
- Switch to moisturizing shampoo and conditioners
- Condition, condition, condition. We know your scalp can feel extra oily when its hot and you’re getting sweaty. Don’t let this tempt you to skip the conditioner. If you’re feeling like you get oily too fast just keep the conditioner off your scalp and apply only from midshaft to ends
- Use dry shampoo and/or dry conditioner to extend time between washes to only 3 times per week
- Get yourself a good brush like a natural bristle Rock & Ruddle to help distribute oils down to those dry ends
- Protect color with high quality products or even better a hat or scarf. Put sunscreen on your scalp (especially at part lines that will be in direct sunlight) and use haircare products with sunscreen such as Soleil by Kerastase. Or Oribe’s Invisible Defense. (We carry both these products in our salons)
- Try to use less heat—your hair is getting enough just from the sun. Opt-out of daily use of your hair dryer, curling and/or flat irons. Use a good water soaking microfiber towel to remove most of the moisture, then twist your hair into a loose bun or braid before bed. You’ll wake up to a nice wave you can set with some great beach wave products like Kerastase Mermaid Beach Waves Haircare.
- Stick to loose styles like buns, tucked ponytails, and braids to help protect your hair from the drying effects of the sun.
- Pool prep. Prevent damage and green hair (or pink extensions) from chlorine by taking the right measures before and after you take a dip. Check out our step-by-step article on the subject here
Summer should be a time for fun in the sun and not worrying about your hair. Taking just a few minutes to implement these tips can make all the difference to your locks and make your haircare for the season a breeze.
Let your lovely locks soak up the fun instead of the sun!
