How to keep your hair healthy, hydrated, and shiny all summer long
When warm, sunny days arrive, it’s only natural to spend more time outside—at the beach, on the terrace, or just soaking up the summer vibes. But while you’re enjoying the sunshine, your hair might be facing a few seasonal challenges: heat, UV rays, wind, salt, chlorine... the list goes on.
Here’s how to protect your hair in the summer and keep it looking its best.
Cover Up
One of the easiest ways to protect your hair from the sun is by physically shielding it. Wearing a hat, scarf, or headwrap can make a big difference in preventing UV damage and dryness.
When choosing summer accessories, go for breathable natural materials:
Linen is a lightweight, eco-friendly fabric that absorbs moisture and feels cool in the heat.
Cotton is soft, breathable, and ideal for sensitive skin and scalps. It also stands up well to frequent washing.
You can also add extra protection by misting your hair with a hydrating spray during the day to fight dryness and frizz caused by sun exposure.
Rethink Your Washing Routine
Summer means more sweat, more sand, and more time in the pool or sea. All of that can lead to buildup and dryness. That’s why your hair-washing routine may need a summer refresh.
Use a moisturizing shampoo like the No Nothing® Moisture Shampoo. It gently cleanses your hair while hydrating it leaving it silky soft and shiny.
On hot, sweaty days, it’s also a good idea to occasionally use a clarifying shampoo to remove product buildup, sweat, salt, and other impurities. And don’t forget your scalp—just like your skin, your scalp can benefit from gentle exfoliation to stay balanced and healthy. Our Sensitive Volume Shampoo has the most clarifying formula.
Condition, Treat & Hydrate
The sun can leave hair feeling dry and brittle. To restore moisture and keep your strands strong:
Use a hydrating conditioner after every wash.
Once or twice a week, treat your hair to a deep conditioning mask or treatment. The No Nothing® Moisture Treatment is a great option—it intensively pampers hair and leaves your hair silky soft.
An easy way to boost your routine is by adding our Moisture Mist and Hair Oil—both deeply hydrate the hair, leaving it softer, smoother, and more manageable. These two are simple yet powerful additions for extra hydration exactly when your hair needs it most.
Minimize Heat Styling
Your hair is already exposed to plenty of heat in the summer—so it’s a great time to give your blow dryer, straightener, or curling iron a break.
Let your hair air-dry whenever possible and try heatless styles like:
- Braids
- Buns
- Twists
- Loose updos
These styles are not only gentle on your hair but also practical when temperatures rise.
Final Tip: Stay Consistent
The key to healthy summer hair is consistency. With a few small tweaks to your routine and the right products, you can keep your hair hydrated, protected, and glowing all season long.
