Your Summer Hair Refresh

As the seasons change, so should your hair care routine. Just like we update our wardrobes for warmer weather, our hair needs a refresh too. Summer brings sun exposure, swimming, and sweating, all of which can impact your hair and scalp. This is the perfect time to revamp your hair care routine. We’ll share essential scalp detox tips, recommend the best hair care products, and inspire you with summer hairstyles for sun kissed locks and a confidence boost. Embrace the summer season with healthy, shiny, and vibrant hair!  

Start With Your Scalp  

Your scalp is the foundation of hair health and is finally getting the attention it deserves! Caring for it can be as easy as using your fingers to massage the shampoo onto your scalp, increasing circulation and promoting hair growth. A scalp brush can help remove build-up and exfoliate more deeply. If you're considering professional hair extensions, our Scalp Detox treatment will prep your hair and scalp for installation leaving you refreshed and free from product build-up and impurities from hard water and the environment.

Pick the Right Products  

During the summer, it is important to use hair care with protective and hydrating ingredients. If you have color-treated hair, look for products that protect your color. If you struggle with frizz, look for products that can "seal" the cuticle and combat humidity. Always remember that all hair types and textures need UV protection.  

Moisture Restore Shampoo & Conditioner: Perfect after a day at the beach or pool to gently cleanse and rehydrate your hair. The color-enhancing formula restores vibrancy and shine and protects it from fading and breakage caused by sun exposure. 

Miracle Mask Deep Conditioner: Use this once a week to give your hair an intensive hydration boost, repairing and strengthening your hair after swimming and sun exposure. Leave it on for 3-5 minutes to let the nourishing ingredients penetrate deeply before rinsing thoroughly. 

Flawless Blend Leave-In Conditioner: Apply this to clean damp hair to seal in moisture and protect it from brushing and heat styling. Use it from the mid-lengths to the ends to seamlessly blend your natural hair with extensions. 

Total Defense Spray: Before styling, spritz the Total Defense Spray onto damp hair to shield it from heat damage and humidity and protect hair from UV exposure. It minimizes color fading and adds shine.

Après-the-Day  

Before bed, use a boar brush starting at the bottom of your hair and gradually working your way up to distribute your hair's natural protective oils. This ritual helps keep your hair moisturized and prevents it from drying overnight. Upgrade your sleep routine with silk—a silk pillowcase and hair bonnet can prevent tangling and breakage caused by body heat and friction, keeping your hair silky and your skin happy.  

Remember, always remove your clip-ins before bed!   

Hair Extensions  

"Summertime and the livin' is easy" is an iconic phrase for a reason. Don’t spend hours styling your hair when you could be sipping cocktails on the patio instead. Wearing clip-in hair extensions is the easiest way to elevate even the simplest styles. They allow you to effortlessly embrace various styles, from mermaid waves to an extra-long ponytail or voluminous braids, making you feel excited and inspired about your summer hair. 

Brighten Up  

Sometimes we need more than rising temperatures to get into the summer mindset, and sun-kissed hair can help you achieve that golden state of mind. For some, that might involve going to the salon for highlights. But what if you prefer to avoid using bleach or if it's not within your budget? Did you know you can use hair extensions to create a sun-kissed look? Clip-in hair extensions offer more than just volume and length. Try getting new extensions a few shades lighter than your base color for a natural look. You could even experiment with ombre or balayage extensions for a more dramatic look. 

Incorporate Protective Hairstyles 

Learn a few protective styles to rotate through the summer. Stylish claw clips and various buns are a great way to get your hair up and away. Windy day at the beach or the mountains? Braids will keep your hair from whipping around and getting tangled. 

BELLAMI x Andrew Fitzsimons "The Ponytail"  

For those glam summer moments, a high ponytail is the chicest way to beat the heat. "The Ponytail" adds showstopping volume and length and comes together in less than five minutes, keeping you cool and looking fabulous 

Preparing your hair for the summer involves choosing the right hair care products, adjusting your routine and embracing new hairstyles. By following these tips, you can ensure that your hair remains healthy, vibrant, and protected from the summer elements so it will be ready to shine throughout the season.
