Why Your Hair Changes in Summer (And What It Needs)

Longer days, sunshine, afternoons at the beach, and weekends by the lake are some of the best parts of summer. But while the season can be wonderful for us, it can also be a little harder on our hair.

If you've noticed your hair feeling drier, frizzier, or more tangled this time of year, you're not imagining it. Here's why.

Sunshine Can Leave Hair Feeling Dry

Just like your skin, your hair is exposed to the sun every time you're outdoors. Over time, UV exposure can leave hair feeling dry, faded, and more prone to breakage.

Adding moisture back into your routine is one of the simplest ways to keep hair feeling healthy throughout the summer months.

Chlorine and Salt Water Can Strip Moisture

Whether you're swimming laps or spending weekends at the beach, chlorine and salt water can both leave hair feeling rough and dehydrated.

Rinsing your hair with fresh water after swimming can help minimize buildup, and following up with a nourishing treatment can restore lost moisture.

Our Intensive Conditioner is a great addition to your routine after a day in the pool or ocean.

Sweat and Product Buildup Happen More Often

Warmer weather often means more workouts, hikes, bike rides, and time outside. While that's something to celebrate, it can also lead to extra sweat, sunscreen, and styling product collecting on the scalp.

If your hair starts feeling heavy or your scalp feels less fresh than usual, incorporating a clarifying wash once a week can help reset your routine.

Our Purifying Shampoo is a gentle way to remove buildup without leaving your hair feeling stripped.

Humidity Can Create Frizz

Humidity adds moisture to the air, which can cause the hair cuticle to lift and create frizz, especially if your hair is already dry.

Keeping your hair well hydrated can help improve smoothness and manageability, making it easier to embrace whatever the weather brings.

Our Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner are designed to replenish moisture while helping hair feel soft, healthy, and easy to manage.

Keep Summer Hair Care Simple

Summer doesn't have to mean completely changing your routine.

A gentle cleanse, consistent hydration, and an occasional deep conditioning treatment are often all your hair needs to stay healthy through the season.
