Keeping your hair healthy during the summer heat takes more than just using sunscreen—it’s about combining salon-grade techniques with protective habits. Here are a few stylist-approved tips and tricks to keep your locks looking and feeling their best during the hottest months of the year:
1. Pre-Sun Protection is Essential (Like SPF for Your Hair)
Pro Tip: Just like skin, hair needs a shield before sun exposure.
- Leave-in sprays with UV filters (like Aveda Sun Care Protective Hair Veil or the Kevin Murphy Everlasting Colour Leave-in-treatment ) act as a barrier against UV damage.
- DIY Tip: Mix a teaspoon of your favorite hair oil (e.g., Kevin Murphy- Young Again Oil, Moroccan Oil, etc.) with water and spritz it lightly on your strands before stepping out for a day out at the lake, pool or any outdoor activities!
2. Master the Art of Hydrating Treatments
What top stylists do: Deep-condition before the damage, not after.
- Use a weekly mask rich in ceramides, amino acids, and humectants. My favorite for Summer hair is the Kevin Murphy Hydrate Me Masque or our Re-store Treatment!
- Under-the-radar hack: Apply your mask, wrap your hair in plastic wrap, then a warm towel for 30 minutes. This “salon steaming effect” opens cuticles and pushes moisture deep in.
3. Rinse Smart After Pool or Ocean
Post-swim ritual from pros:
- Immediately rinse hair with fresh water after swimming to prevent chlorine or salt from sticking.
- Follow with a chelating shampoo (like Kevin Murphy Maxi Wash or Malibu C Swimmers Wellness Shampoo) once or twice a week to detox minerals and prevent green or brassy tints.
4. Avoid High Heat Styling – but If You Must…
Salon trick: Use thermal protectants with bonding ingredients.
- Look for ones with hydrolyzed proteins like ours Kevin Murphy Heated.Defense or Morrocanoil Perfect Defense to help rebuild bonds.
- Use ionic or infrared tools for faster, gentler drying.
5. Upgrade Your Hair Accessories
Stylist picks:
- Use silk or satin scrunchies to avoid breakage.
- Swap out black elastics for spiral coil hair ties that don’t tug or create friction.
- Wear wide-brimmed hats lined with silk or satin scarves inside—heat AND friction protection.
6. Strategic Summer Haircuts
Hairdresser advice: Schedule trims every 6-8 weeks in summer—even just a dusting.
- Prevents sun-split ends from traveling up the shaft.
- Opt for low-maintenance layers that let you air dry with shape (less need for hot tools).
7. Cool Water is Key
Stylist trick for shine: Always finish your wash with a cold rinse.
- It helps seal the cuticle, making hair smoother and more reflective.
- Bonus: reduces frizz in humid conditions.
8. Protective Styling on Repeat
Go-to styles: Braids, buns, and twists shield hair ends.
- For beach days, apply a nourishing oil (like Young Again or Morrocan oil) to damp hair, braid it, and wear a hat—essentially a hot oil treatment on the go.
9. Don't Forget the Scalp
Expert touch: Like Kevin Murphy always says “healthy hair starts at the roots!”
- Use a scalp exfoliant or gentle scrub once a week to remove sweat, oil, and dead skin. I love our Kevin Murphy Scalp Scrub!
- Massage your scalp for 2-3 minutes daily to boost circulation (helps with growth and oil balance).
10. Have fun this summer and keep that hair happy!

PRE-VISIT TIPS.

-Gear up for the perfect photo op! Opt for a neutral-colored top to shine in an after photo.
-Layer up for comfort, ensuring you’re ready for any temperature twist.
-Remember to ditch the hoodies and bulky sweaters for your hair appointment! They can make it tricky for us stylists to reach the locks we need to work our magic.
-Leave those pricey tops at home and save them from any unexpected mishaps!
Arrive with your locks freshly shampooed and dried, ideally 24-48 hours pre-service. Think of this as prepping the canvas for the masterpiece- clean hair means no barriers for coloring, ensuring I can work my magic without any surprises. So lather up and get ready to rock that fresh color!
Blonde’s, listen up! Before your color service, it’s time to get squeaky clean. Clarify that mane to rid of any unwanted buildup-think of it as a reset button for your hair. And hold off on the purple shampoo party for a week before your appointment, we’re going fresh canvas here!
Want to go the extra mile? Ask me about my DIY clarifying kits to prep your hair like a pro at home.
Remember, strong and hydrated hair is happy hair, so keep those locks nourished and ready to shine! Need suggestions on products to make it happen? Reach out to me and let’s chat about an at home regimen or treatment catered just for you.
Ready to shake things up? Let’s make sure we’re on the same page. Give me the scoop on your big hair dreams BEFORE your appointment- communication is key to nailing that new look.
Book a consultation for some extra hair-brainstorming! If you’re switching up your next session option, a heads up 72 hours in advance helps to keep everything running smoothly and ensure that we have enough time and the proper supplies to achieve your hair goals!

Color Service Aftercare:

Post- color TLC time! Hold off on that first shampoo for 48 hours to let that color settle in.
When you do suds up, reach for a salon quality, color safe shampoo such as our Ever Lasting Color Wash & Rinse to keep that hue looking fresh and fierce.
Rinse with Luke warm water for a color longevity boost
If hard water is cramping your color game, consider snagging a shower filter for that extra sparkle and shine.
Blondes and natural grays, this one is especially for you-keep that color popping and your locks Lucious!
Drying and styling time! Remember, cool is the new hot! Dial it down in the heat department to keep your color looking cool and vibrant. And hey, while you’re at it, why not give your hair some love with a blast of cool air after your blow-dry or letting those curls cool to get that extra shine factor? Your hair will thank you, and your color will shine brighter than ever!
Heard about Kevin Murphy’s hair magic? After your color service appointment, why not treat your locks to some post-color pampering with the Kevin Murphy products?

Brassy hair, be gone! Time to tone it down with some toning shampoo and conditiners- think of these like magic potions for banishing brassiness.
Come in for a TONE,TREAT, TRIM session in between appointments to give your hair some TLC, keep your tone looking fresh, and that brassiness at bay.
Still dealing with stubborn brass? clarify it with some clarifying treatments. Minerals and metals in our water are a blondes worst nightmare! Having a solid clarifying regimen will make a world of difference.
Oh, and one more tip. Cool it on the heat tools, they can amp up the brassiness and make your toner slip out faster allowing that brass to shine through. Your hair will thank you!
Hard water, meet your match! Say hello to you new hair hero: the water filter. It’s like a superhero cape for your shower, swooping in to save your hair strands from those pesky mineral villains.
For some extra backup, grab a take home care kit including the Malibu hard water packets as well as a hard water wellness shampoo and conditioner sachet. Think of this as your hairs very own bodyguard against hard water woes.
