Healthy Summer Hair At Blonde Envy by ZIGZAG Hair Studios
Summer can be hard on your hair. Heat, UV rays, chlorine, salt water, humidity and extra styling can all leave hair feeling dry, faded, frizzy or fragile.
At Blonde Envy by ZIGZAG Hair Studios in Milton Keynes and Towcester, we help clients protect their hair colour, improve hair condition and keep their hair looking healthy throughout the summer months.
Key Takeaways For Healthy Summer Hair
Healthy summer hair starts with protection, hydration and regular care.
- Book a professional hair treatment if your hair feels dry, dull or weak.
- Use salon-quality products to support your hair at home.
- Have regular trims to remove dry ends and keep your style in shape.
- Book a toner or gloss to refresh faded or brassy colour.
- Protect your hair from UV rays, chlorine, salt water and heat styling.
Whether you have blonde hair, balayage, highlights, brunette colour or vivid fashion shades, the right salon treatments and home haircare can make a real difference.
Why Does Hair Get Dry In Summer?
Hair often becomes dry in summer because it is exposed to more heat, sunshine, swimming and styling. UV rays can weaken the hair, while chlorine and salt water can strip away moisture. This can leave the hair feeling rough, brittle or harder to manage.
Colour-treated hair can be even more affected. Blonde hair, balayage and highlights may become brassy, while brunettes and vivid colours may fade faster in strong sunlight.
A good summer haircare routine helps protect the condition of your hair and keep your colour looking fresher for longer.
What Is The Best Salon Treatment For Summer Hair?
The best salon treatment for summer hair depends on your hair type, condition and colour history. If your hair feels dry, weak or damaged, a professional strengthening or repairing treatment can help restore moisture, smoothness and shine.
At Blonde Envy by ZIGZAG Hair Studios, our stylists can assess your hair and recommend the right treatment for you. This may be ideal before a holiday, after time in the sun, or whenever your hair needs extra care.
Professional treatments are especially helpful for lightened hair, blonde hair, balayage, highlighted hair and hair that is regularly styled with heat.
How Can I Protect Blonde Hair In Summer?
Blonde hair needs extra care in summer because it can become dry, dull or brassy when exposed to UV rays, chlorine and salt water. Using professional haircare, booking regular toning appointments and reducing heat styling can all help protect blonde hair.
If your blonde is starting to look too warm or yellow, a toner can help refresh the colour and bring back a cleaner, brighter finish.
Our Blonde Envy stylists can recommend the best toning service and homecare products to keep your blonde looking beautiful between appointments.
Use Professional Products at Home
Looking after your hair at home is just as important. Our go-to picks from Kevin Murphy are brilliant for hydrating and protecting your hair through the warmer months:
HYDRATE-ME.WASH: This shampoo hydrates and nourishes hair, leaving it feeling soft and smooth.
HYDRATE-ME.RINSE: Follow up with this conditioner to lock in moisture and enhance shine.
SHIMMER.SHINE: This lightweight spray adds shine and reduces frizz without weighing down your hair. It’s perfect for a sleek summer look.
Schedule Regular Haircuts
Most people benefit from having their hair cut every 6 to 8 weeks during summer. Regular trims help remove split ends, keep your shape fresh and make your hair easier to style.
This is especially important if your hair is coloured, lightened, long, curly or prone to dryness. Even a small trim can help your hair look healthier and feel more manageable.
If you are growing your hair, regular trims can still support healthier-looking lengths by removing fragile ends before they split further.
How Can I Keep My Hair Colour Fresh In Summer?
A toner, gloss or colour refresh can help keep your hair colour looking fresh in summer. Sun exposure, chlorine, salt water and frequent washing can all cause colour to fade or change tone.
Blondes may notice brassiness. Brunettes may lose depth and shine. Vivid colours may fade faster. A professional colour refresh can help restore tone, shine and softness without needing a full colour appointment every time.
At Blonde Envy by ZIGZAG Hair Studios, we can advise whether your hair needs a toner, gloss, treatment or full colour service.
