Summer is here — and while the sunshine and warmth are great for your mood, your hair might feel a little different under the heat, humidity, and sun exposure. At 180 Degrees Hair Studio, we know how to help you protect your strands and keep your hair looking its best all season long. Here’s our ultimate guide to surviving summer with healthy, vibrant hair:
☀️ Shield Your Hair from the Sun
Just like your skin, your hair can get damaged by UV rays. Use hats, scarves, or protective styles to limit direct sun exposure. Incorporate hair products with UV protection to guard your strands from dryness and color fading.
💧 Stay Hydrated — Inside and Out
Hydration is key! Drink plenty of water, and use moisturizing shampoos, conditioners, and leave-ins to replenish moisture lost to heat and sweat. Deep conditioning treatments once a week can restore softness and strength.
🌬️ Protect Against Chlorine and Salt Water
If you’re swimming, wet your hair first with clean water and apply a protective leave-in conditioner before taking a dip. Rinse thoroughly afterward to remove chlorine or salt, which can strip natural oils and cause brittleness.
🧖🏽♀️ Avoid Overwashing
Washing your hair too often can strip away natural oils that keep it healthy and hydrated. Try to space out washes and use gentle cleansing methods to maintain your hair’s natural balance.
✂️ Get Regular Trims
Summer activities can lead to dryness and split ends. Keep your hair looking fresh by scheduling trims every 6-8 weeks to prevent damage from spreading.
🌿 Opt for Protective Styles
Braids, twists, buns, and updos not only look stylish but also protect your hair from harsh elements, reducing breakage and tangling during outdoor activities.
💡 Salon Pro Tip:
Use lightweight oils or serums to seal moisture and tame frizz, especially on humid days. And always remember: healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp — keep it clean and nourished!
