Sun, Style & Shine: Your Ultimate Guide to Summer Hair Care
Summer is the season of golden sunshine, poolside relaxation, and outdoor adventures—but it can also be a challenging time for your hair. Heat, humidity, chlorine, and UV rays can leave even the healthiest strands feeling dry, brittle, or frizzy. At Von Anthony Salon, we believe your hair should be as radiant as your summer plans. That’s why we’ve crafted this guide to help you maintain strong, shiny, and stunning hair all summer long.
1. Hydration Is Key: Moisturize From the Inside Out
As temperatures rise, your hair—like your body—needs extra hydration. Summer sun and heat can zap moisture, especially from color-treated or chemically processed hair.
Von Anthony Pro Tip: Invest in a salon-quality hydrating shampoo and conditioner tailored to your hair type. We love the luxurious moisture-retention formulas from Oribe and Kérastase, two of the premium lines we proudly carry. Weekly deep conditioning masks or leave-in treatments can work wonders to replenish lost moisture and add softness and shine.
Also, don’t underestimate the power of drinking water. Staying well-hydrated internally supports your hair’s elasticity and shine from within.
2. Shield Your Strands from Sun Damage
Just like your skin, your hair and scalp can suffer from overexposure to the sun’s UV rays. Prolonged sun exposure can weaken the hair shaft, fade color, and dry out the scalp.
Von Anthony Pro Tip: Use a UV-protectant spray or cream—yes, they exist! Many of the styling products we offer include built-in sun protection to guard against harmful rays. Apply before heading outdoors, especially if you’ll be spending the day by the pool or at the beach.
And remember: fashion meets function. Wide-brimmed hats and chic scarves are not only trendy but excellent physical barriers against the sun. Need help accessorizing your summer look? Our team can suggest stylish options that complement your face shape and outfit.
3. Protect Your Color Investment
Summer elements can wreak havoc on color-treated hair. Between UV rays, chlorine, and saltwater, your vibrant shade could fade fast—or worse, take on unwanted tones.
Von Anthony Pro Tip: Opt for color-protecting shampoos and conditioners that are sulfate-free and rich in antioxidants. Post-swim, rinse your hair with fresh water immediately to remove chlorine or salt residue. For those who swim frequently, consider using a pre-swim protectant or applying a leave-in conditioner to act as a barrier.
Scheduling a gloss treatment or toner every few weeks can also refresh your color and restore shine. Book a consultation with our expert colorists to discuss the right maintenance routine for your hue.
4. Embrace Effortless, Heat-Free Styles
Summer is the perfect excuse to step away from hot tools and embrace your natural texture. Not only does it save time and effort, but it also protects your hair from additional heat damage.
Von Anthony Pro Tip: Try beachy waves with a sea salt spray or smooth braids that hold up to humidity. If you’re looking to enhance your natural curls or waves, ask our stylists about products that define and nourish your unique texture.
Need a quick salon refresh? A layered cut or texture-boosting trim can make heat-free styling a breeze and add movement to your summer look.
5. Keep Frizz Under Control
Humidity is one of summer’s biggest beauty villains, turning sleek styles into puffed-up chaos. But frizz doesn’t have to be inevitable.
Von Anthony Pro Tip: Frizz is often a sign of dryness, so keeping your hair well-moisturized is the first line of defense. Use a smoothing serum or anti-frizz cream before styling, and choose microfiber towels over traditional ones to reduce friction while drying.
Consider a professional keratin treatment to fight frizz long-term. Our smoothing treatments seal the cuticle, making your hair more resistant to humidity while enhancing shine and manageability.
6. Trim the Damage Away
Split ends and dry tips can make your hair look dull and lifeless, especially in the intense summer light. Regular trims are essential to maintain healthy, polished strands.
Von Anthony Pro Tip: Schedule a trim every 6–8 weeks during summer to keep your hair in top condition. We tailor every cut to your face shape, lifestyle, and preferences—so you can enjoy a look that grows out beautifully.
7. Treat Your Scalp with TLC
The scalp is often overlooked in summer hair routines, but it plays a critical role in the health of your hair. Excess sweat, sunscreen, and product buildup can clog follicles and lead to irritation.
Von Anthony Pro Tip: Gently exfoliate your scalp once a week to remove buildup and encourage circulation. Choose lightweight, non-greasy styling products to keep your roots fresh and clean. For an in-salon detox experience, ask about our scalp treatments that clarify and soothe, leaving your scalp refreshed and your hair energized.
