Why this worksHeat and humidity can strip moisture from your hair, making it dry and brittle. A good hair care routine helps to lock in hydration and protect your hair from environmental stressors. By using the right products and techniques, you can keep your hair looking its best all summer long.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Hydrate with a Moisturising Shampoo Start your routine with a hydrating shampoo that cleanses without stripping natural oils. Look for formulas that contain nourishing ingredients like aloe vera or coconut oil to keep your hair soft and manageable.
  2. Condition Deeply Follow up with a deep conditioner to infuse moisture back into your hair. Apply it generously, focusing on the ends where damage is most likely to occur. Leave it in for a few minutes to allow it to penetrate.
  3. Protect with Heat Protectant If you're using heat styling tools, always apply a heat protectant spray beforehand. This creates a barrier between your hair and the heat, minimising damage and keeping your strands healthier.
  4. Limit Heat Styling Try to reduce the frequency of heat styling during warmer months. Embrace natural styles or use heat-free methods to achieve your desired look, allowing your hair to rest and recover.
  5. Finish with Lightweight Oil To seal in moisture and add shine, apply a lightweight hair oil to the ends of your hair. This helps to tame frizz and protect against humidity without weighing your hair down.

Where people go wrong

Many people skip deep conditioning, thinking it's unnecessary. Overusing heat styling tools can also lead to damage, as can applying too much product, which can weigh hair down. Always remember to apply products to damp hair for better absorption.

The pro moveConsider using a silk pillowcase to reduce friction and prevent breakage while you sleep.
