With summer just around the corner, many people start noticing their hair becoming drier, lighter, and harder to manage. Sunshine, swimming pools, and salt water can all take their toll, especially on coloured hair.
At The Hair Regime in Yeovil, we help clients keep their hair looking healthy and vibrant throughout the summer months, whether they are heading abroad or enjoying time closer to home in Somerset.
How summer affects your hair
The combination of UV exposure, chlorine, and sea salt can strip moisture from the hair and leave it feeling dry and brittle.
If you colour your hair, summer can also cause fading, brassiness, and uneven tones, particularly in blonde and balayage styles.
The scalp can be affected too, becoming dry, irritated, or flaky after prolonged sun exposure.
Simple ways to protect your hair
A few small steps can make a big difference.
Rinse your hair before and after swimming to reduce chlorine absorption.
Use a nourishing conditioner or treatment regularly to restore moisture.
Wear a hat when spending long periods in direct sunlight.
Turn down the heat on styling tools where possible.
Book in for a trim to remove dry ends and keep your hair looking fresh.
Why summer is the perfect time for a Japanese head spa
Summer can leave the scalp feeling congested, irritated, or unbalanced.
A Japanese head spa is an excellent way to deeply cleanse the scalp, remove product build up, and restore moisture while providing a deeply relaxing experience.
Many clients find it is the ideal treatment after a holiday or before a special event.
Keeping your colour looking its best
Blondes, balayage, and highlighted hair need extra attention during the warmer months.
Using salon recommended products and booking regular toning appointments can help maintain shine and keep unwanted warm tones at bay.
Preparing for weddings and summer events
Summer is one of the busiest times of year for weddings, parties, and holidays.
Planning your colour, cut, and treatments in advance helps ensure your hair is in its best condition when it matters most.
