As the temperatures rise and the sun shines brighter, it’s the perfect time to give your hair a glow up in preparation for summer. Starting a hair routine now will help you achieve radiant and healthy-looking hair all summer long.
Hydration is Key
Just like your skin, your hair needs hydration to thrive, especially recovering from the dry, colder months. Make sure to drink plenty of water to keep your hair hydrated from the inside out. Additionally, use hydrating hair products such as Amika’s hydrating product line and Innersense’s Hydrating Hair Mask.
Protect Your Hair from the Sun
The sun’s UV rays can damage your hair, causing dryness, color fading, and breakage. To protect your locks, wear a wide-brimmed hat or a scarf when spending extended periods in the sun. You can also use hair products with UV filters or ingredients like Amika’s the shield.
Embrace Protective Hairstyles
Protective hairstyles are not only stylish but also help shield your hair from environmental damage. Try braids, buns, or updos to keep your hair off your face and prevent tangles and breakage, especially when swimming or spending time outdoors.
Get Regular Trims
Regular trims are essential for maintaining healthy hair, especially in the summer when exposure to the sun and chlorine can cause split ends and damage. Schedule a trim with our hairstylists every 6-8 weeks to remove any dry, damaged ends and keep your hair looking fresh and vibrant.

Use Hair Masks
Treat your hair to some extra TLC with nourishing hair masks. Look for masks enriched with moisturizing ingredients to replenish moisture and restore vitality to your strands. Use a hair mask once a week to keep your hair soft, shiny, and manageable. We recommend Amika’s soulfood nourishing mask.
Minimize Heat Styling
While it’s tempting to reach for your curling iron or straightener to achieve the perfect hairstyle, excessive heat styling can damage your hair and lead to dryness and breakage. Instead, embrace your hair’s natural texture and rock your hair’s true form!
Rinse with Cold Water
After shampooing and conditioning your hair, finish with a cold water rinse to seal the hair cuticle and add shine. Cold water helps smooth the hair shaft, reducing frizz and enhancing the overall appearance of your hair. It’s a simple yet effective way to give your hair an instant glow-up.
With these tips, you can achieve gorgeous, glowing hair that’s ready to take on the summer heat. From staying hydrated and protecting your hair from the sun to embracing protective hairstyles, there are plenty of ways to glow up your hair and keep it looking its best all summer long. So go ahead, pamper your hair and let it shine!
