Best Summer Haircare Products At Blonde Envy by ZIGZAG Hair Studios
Summer is a brilliant time for holidays, sunshine and days outdoors, but it can also be tough on your hair. UV rays, chlorine, salt water, humidity, SPF products and extra washing can all leave hair feeling dry, faded, frizzy or fragile.
At Blonde Envy by ZIGZAG Hair Studios in Milton Keynes and Towcester, we can help you choose the best summer haircare products, salon treatments and colour refresh services to keep your hair healthy, glossy and manageable.
Key Takeaways For Summer Haircare
The best summer haircare routine should focus on cleansing, hydration, colour protection and frizz control.
- Use gentle, professional shampoo to cleanse without drying the hair.
- Protect your hair colour from UV rays, chlorine and salt water.
- Use nourishing treatments or smoothing services to reduce dryness and frizz.
- Ask your stylist for personalised product advice based on your hair colour and condition.
Why Does Hair Need Extra Care In Summer?
Hair needs extra care in summer because it is exposed to more heat, sunlight, swimming and styling. UV rays can cause colour fade and dryness, while chlorine and salt water can leave hair feeling rough, brittle and harder to manage.
Humidity can also make hair more prone to frizz, especially if it is naturally wavy, curly, lightened or colour-treated. Using the right professional products at home can help protect your hair between salon appointments.
What Is The Best Shampoo For Summer Hair?
The best shampoo for summer hair is one that cleanses gently without stripping moisture from the hair. During summer, many people wash their hair more often because of heat, SPF products, sweat, swimming and days outdoors.
A sulphate-free shampoo is a great option because it cleanses the hair more gently than many traditional shampoos. This can help reduce dryness, protect your colour and keep your hair feeling softer.
At Blonde Envy by ZIGZAG Hair Studios, we offer KEVIN MURPHY products, which are sulphate-free, paraben-free and cruelty-free. Your stylist can recommend the best KEVIN MURPHY shampoo for your hair type, colour and summer routine.
How Can I Stop My Hair Colour Fading In Summer?
You can help stop your hair colour fading in summer by using professional colour care products, protecting your hair from direct sunlight and booking regular toner or gloss appointments.
Sun exposure can make blonde hair look brassy, brunettes look dull and vivid colours fade more quickly. Chlorine and salt water can also affect the tone and condition of your colour.
KEVIN MURPHY COLOURING.ANGELS can help refresh and maintain your hair colour at home. Ask your Blonde Envy stylist which COLOURING.ANGELS product is best for your shade and hair condition.
For extra protection, wear a hat or scarf on hot days, reduce heat styling where possible and use professional products recommended for colour-treated hair.
How Can I Reduce Frizz In Summer?
To reduce frizz in summer, focus on hydration, smoothing products and professional treatments. Frizz often happens when the hair becomes dry or absorbs moisture from humid air.
A Goldwell Dualsenses treatment can help nourish dry, stressed or colour-treated hair. It leaves the hair feeling softer, smoother and more manageable while helping to improve shine and condition.
For longer-lasting frizz control, a professional keratin hair smoothing treatment may be a better option. Keratin smoothing treatments help reduce frizz, improve manageability and make styling easier, with results that can last for several weeks.
If your hair becomes frizzy, fluffy or difficult to style in summer, speak to your Blonde Envy stylist about the best smoothing option for you.
How Can I Protect My Hair From Chlorine?
You can help protect your hair from chlorine by rinsing it with clean water before and after swimming. Wet hair absorbs less pool water, which can help reduce the drying effects of chlorine.
Chlorine can make hair feel dry, rough and brittle. It can also affect hair colour, especially blonde, highlighted or lightened hair.
A clarifying or detox shampoo, such as KEVIN MURPHY MAXI.WASH, can help remove product build-up, chlorine and impurities from the hair. However, detox shampoos should be used correctly, so ask your stylist how often to use one for your hair type.
If your hair feels dry after swimming, book a professional conditioning treatment at Blonde Envy by ZIGZAG Hair Studios. This can help restore moisture, softness and shine.
What Products Help Protect Hair From UV Rays?
Products that offer conditioning, smoothing and environmental protection can help support your hair during summer. UV rays can dry the hair, fade colour and leave the hair looking dull.
Moroccanoil Treatment is a popular styling and conditioning product that helps smooth the hair, reduce frizz and add shine. Its argan oil-rich formula helps leave hair feeling softer and more manageable, making it a great choice for summer styling.
For extra protection, cover your hair when spending long periods in direct sunshine. A hat, scarf or tied-back style can help shield your hair and scalp from UV exposure.
Should I Use Heat Styling Tools In Summer?
It is best to reduce heat styling where possible during summer. Hairdryers, straighteners and curling irons can add extra stress to hair that is already exposed to sun, heat, chlorine and salt water.
Try softer summer styles such as air-dried waves, loose buns, braids or natural texture. If you do use heated tools, use a professional heat protection product and keep your hair well-conditioned.
Reducing heat styling can help your hair feel healthier, smoother and less fragile throughout the warmer months.
When Should I Book A Summer Hair Treatment?
You should book a summer hair treatment if your hair feels dry, frizzy, dull, brittle or difficult to style. Treatments are also a great idea before or after a holiday, especially if your hair is blonde, highlighted, balayaged or colour-treated.
A professional treatment can help restore moisture, improve shine and support the condition of your hair. Your stylist can recommend the best option depending on your hair goals, colour and condition.
