How to Protect Your Hair from Summer Heat and Humidity

Sun, Sweat & Frizz – The Ultimate Summer Hair Struggles

(and How to Fix Them!)

Picture this: You step out of Conditioned Hairdressing with your hair looking like a shampoo commercial—glossy, smooth, absolute perfection. You’re feeling yourself. Then, BAM! 🌞🔥

The summer heat hits you like a hairdryer on full blast. Suddenly, your sleek locks are doing their best impression of a frizz halo, your scalp is sweating like it just ran a marathon, and your once-voluminous blowout? Let’s just say flat and lifeless isn’t the aesthetic we’re going for.

But don’t panic! We’ve got the ultimate guide to keep your hair looking fabulous all summer long. Because let’s be real—hair should be an accessory, not an opponent. 😏

1. Shield Your Strands – Sunscreen for Your Hair ☀️🛡️

You wouldn’t skip sunscreen on your skin (at least, we hope not), so why neglect your hair? UV rays weaken hair proteins, making your locks dry, brittle, and more prone to breakage.

Solution:

✅ Use a UV-protectant spray like Purology Color Fanatic – a multi-tasking leave-in spray that protects against UV damage, prevents color fading, and adds lightweight hydration and smoothness to your hair, keeping it vibrant and frizz-free all summer long.

✅ Rock a wide-brim hat for extra drama (and protection, of course). Bonus: You’ll look effortlessly chic.

✅ Keep your hair hydrated with a weekly Fusio-Dose or CH-One treatment at Conditioned Hairdressing—because prevention is always easier than damage control. 😉

2. Tame the Humidity Monster 🌡️🌊

Humidity is like that clingy ex who just won’t take a hint—it latches onto your hair, causing frizz, puffiness, and an overall hot mess situation.

Solution:

K18 or Mycro Keratin treatments—your best friends for smoothing and sealing moisture into your hair for weeks at a time.

✅ Use an anti-frizz serum (but not too much!)—we recommend Kevin Murphy’s Smooth.Again for a sleek finish without the greasy feel.

✅ Switch to a microfiber towel or a silk pillowcase—cotton = friction = frizz. Enough said.

3. Don’t Let Sweat Sabotage Your Style 💦🤦‍♀️

Sweaty scalp = greasy roots + limp lengths = a bad time. But we’re not about to let a little perspiration ruin our flawless hair.

Solution:

✅ Dry shampoo is your summer BFF. Try Kevin Murphy Fresh.Hair to refresh your roots and add volume without that chalky look.

Kevin Murphy FRESH.HAIR dry shampoo spray, available at Conditioned Hairdressing, refreshes hair by absorbing oil and adding volume for a clean, weightless finish.

Loosen up! Tight hairstyles trap sweat—opt for a loose braid, low bun, or stylish claw clip updo to let your scalp breathe.

✅ Schedule a glossing treatment to add vibrancy and prevent dullness from all the washing. (Yes, you’ll be washing more often, and that’s okay—just be gentle!)


4. Hydration, Hydration, Hydration 💦💁‍♀️

Sun and heat suck the moisture out of your hair, leaving it thirstier than you after a long beach day.

Solution:

✅ Swap your regular conditioner for a deep-moisturizing mask—we recommend Kérastase Nutritive Masquintense.

Kérastase Nutritive Masquintense Riche hair mask for very dry, thick hair, available at Conditioned Hairdressing.

✅ Treat yourself to a Redken ABC (Acidic Bonding Concentrate) treatment—it’s basically a reset button for stressed-out summer hair.

✅ Drink water. No, really. Your hair’s hydration starts from within.

5. Book a Salon SOS if All Else Fails 🚨💇‍♀️
