Summer Hair Care Tips: Protect, Nourish & Shine All Season Long

06.30.2025

As the sun heats up and beach days become your go-to escape, your hair faces a new set of seasonal challenges. At Rizzieri Salon & Spa, we believe your summer should be full of good hair days. From sun exposure to saltwater and humidity, summer elements can take a toll on your strands, but with the right care, your hair can remain radiant, healthy, and full of life.

Whether you're planning a seaside getaway or simply soaking in the summer sun at home, our expert stylists have put together their favorite summer hair care tips to help you protect, restore, and style your locks all season long.

1. Start Summer with a Fresh Trim

Before diving into the heat of summer, schedule a trim at Rizzieri to get rid of split ends and start the season with healthy, polished hair. Trimming your hair every 6–8 weeks helps prevent breakage and gives your style that fresh, clean look ideal for any summer outing.

Our stylists can recommend cuts that work with your lifestyle and the season’s humidity, whether you want something short and breezy or prefer to keep your length with a few face-framing layers.

2. Shield Your Hair from UV Rays

Just like your skin, your hair and scalp need protection from the sun. Prolonged UV exposure can fade color-treated hair, dry out your scalp, and weaken strands.

Pro Tips:

• Wear a wide-brimmed hat or stylish scarf to block the sun during peak hours.
  
• Use a UV-protectant hair spray.
• For color-treated clients, ask about in-salon glossing treatments that lock in vibrancy and boost shine.

3. Embrace Hydration: Hair Masks & Moisturizers

Chlorine, saltwater, and even air conditioning can strip your hair of essential moisture. Replenishing hydration is the key to keeping your hair soft, smooth, and manageable during summer.

Hydration Musts:

• Incorporate a deep conditioning treatment into your weekly routine.
• Try a leave-in conditioner or hydrating cream, especially if you have curls, waves, or textured hair.
• Book a professional hair mask treatment at Rizzieri to restore moisture balance and repair damage.

Our salon offers luxury conditioning treatments customized to your hair type and summer needs. Whether you’re struggling with dryness, frizz, or overexposure, we’ve got the perfect solution.

4. Say Goodbye to Summer Frizz

Humidity is a common summer nemesis, especially for those with curly or coarse hair. But you can beat the frizz with the right styling products and salon services.

Frizz Fighters:

• Use a smoothing serum or anti-humidity spray before heading out.
• Switch to a microfiber towel or cotton T-shirt to gently blot your hair post-shower and reduce friction.
• Consider a Brazilian Blowout or keratin treatment at Rizzieri for long-lasting smoothness and shine.

Our stylists are trained in smoothing services that tame frizz while maintaining movement and volume, so you can enjoy sleek, frizz-free hair no matter the weather.

5. Opt for Low-Heat Styling

Your hair already endures high temperatures from the sun, give it a break by minimizing heat styling. Summer is the perfect time to embrace natural texture or experiment with no-heat styles like braids, buns, or waves created with overnight twists.

If you do use heat tools:

• Always apply a heat protectant spray.
• Use the lowest effective heat setting.

6. Rinse & Repeat: Poolside Hair Care

Before taking a dip in the pool or ocean, wet your hair with clean water and apply a leave-in conditioner. Hair that’s already saturated is less likely to absorb chlorine or salt, which can be drying and damaging.

After swimming:

• Rinse your hair thoroughly to remove chemical or salt residues.
• Use a clarifying shampoo weekly to eliminate buildup.
• Follow with a rich conditioner to restore softness and strength.

Ask your Rizzieri stylist to recommend the best at-home care for your lifestyle, especially if you swim often.

7. Protect Your Scalp, Too

A sunburned scalp is not only painful, it can also lead to flaking, sensitivity, and long-term skin damage. Avoid harsh part lines and consider scalp-specific SPF mists or powders to stay safe.

If your scalp gets dry or irritated, try a scalp treatment in-salon to exfoliate, soothe, and balance. We offer options that detoxify the scalp and create the ideal environment for healthy hair growth.
