Why Summer Hair Needs Different Care

UV rays dry hair, salt water strips natural oils and humidity makes styles collapse. That's why summer calls for lighter products, hydration and low-maintenance cuts that can handle the elements.

Short Holiday Cuts

• Buzz Cut: no-fuss, dries instantly, looks sharp with a tan.
• Fade Cut: cool in heat, keeps edges clean even after a swim.
• Crew Cut: low-maintenance but polished – perfect for holidays.

Medium & Wavy Styles

Medium hair thrives at the beach with a bit of natural texture. Use a sea salt spray for effortless waves, let the sun highlight natural tones and avoid heavy products. Messy quiffs and textured crops look casual but cool.

Long Hair & Man Bun Looks

Longer hair works surprisingly well for holidays if kept under control. Tie into a man bun or half-up knot to stay cool. Condition daily and rinse salt water after swimming to prevent dryness.

Best Products for Sun & Sea

• Leave-in Conditioner: hydration shield against sun and salt.
• Sea Salt Spray: light hold with natural, beachy texture.
• UV Filter Hair Mist: protects from sun damage.
• Lightweight Clay: matte, flexible styling without heaviness.

Styling Tips at the Beach

• Embrace natural texture – don't fight waves or curls.
• Rinse with fresh water after every swim.
• Use minimal product – heat makes heavy formulas greasy.
• Keep a small comb or brush handy for quick fixes.
• Protect scalp with SPF if hair is short or thinning.
