Summer Hair Hacks: Essential Products for Healthy, Gorgeous Hair

When the sun shines brighter and the days stretch longer, it’s the perfect time to embrace perfect summer hairstyles. But with the season’s heat, saltwater, chlorine, and UV rays, your hair can go from fabulous to frazzled in no time. Luckily, with the right products, you can keep your hair looking its best all summer long. Whether you’re dealing with beachy waves, frizzy curls, or sun-kissed blondes, there are some essential products that can help your hair shine. In this blog, we’ll walk through a few RPR and Salon Only gems and how to use them to get the perfect summer hair.

One of the quintessential summer looks is the effortless beach wave. If you’ve ever wondered how those waves are achieved without spending hours at a salon or beach, the secret might just be Salon Only So Swell Sea Salt Spray. This product is a game-changer for anyone looking for a quick, textured wave or volume boost without the sticky residue that some other sea salt sprays leave behind.

How to Use:

• Post-Shower Application: After towel-drying your hair, spritz So Swell Sea Salt Spray evenly throughout. Scrunch your hair with your hands to encourage natural waves.
• Drying Method: For a more voluminous look, blow-dry your hair with a diffuser. For a more relaxed texture, simply let your hair air dry.
• Pro Tip: Use it on second-day hair to revive and add texture. It’s the perfect solution to give you that “I just spent a day at the beach” look—without the beach.

Shampoo That Banishes Chlorine: RPR De-Chlorinate My Hair Shampoo 

While swimming in the pool can be a refreshing summer activity, chlorine can wreak havoc on your hair, leaving it dry, dull, and discoloured. If you’re someone who spends a lot of time in the pool, RPR De-Chlorinate My Hair Shampoo is a must-have. This shampoo is specifically formulated to remove chlorine buildup and protect your hair from the drying effects of pool water. It is also ideal for bore water, salt, minerals and product build-up.

How to Use:

• Pre-Swim: To help prevent absorption, apply a leave-in conditioner prior to swimming as a barrier.
• Post-Swim: After swimming, use this shampoo to thoroughly cleanse your hair. The gentle formula will strip away chlorine, rid hair of green tinges and restore your hair’s natural moisture balance.
• Pro Tip: Leave the shampoo on longer to rid hair or intense green tinges.

Leave-In Conditioner: RPR My Vitaliser Leave-In Conditioner

Summer sun, salty air, and chlorine can all leave your hair feeling parched, dry and damaged. To combat this, you need a salon grade leave-in conditioner. RPR My Vitaliser Leave-In Conditioner is an excellent option. It moisturises, detangles, and UV filters protect against colour fade. Hair is easier to manage and soft and silky throughout the day.

How to Use:

• After Shampooing: Apply the leave-in conditioner to damp hair after washing. Focus on the ends, where hair tends to get driest.
• Detangling: Use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb to gently work through knots and tangles.
• Pro Tip: If you have curly hair, this product is fantastic for maintaining definition and moisture, ensuring your curls stay bouncy and frizz-free even on the hottest days.

Blonde Toning for Lighter, Brighter, Longer Lasting Blondes.

Blondes know that summer sun can bring out brassy tones, which can detract from the vibrant, fresh look they crave. Whether you’re a natural blonde or have highlights, keeping your blonde hair cool and bright is a summer must. Enter Salon Only So Cool Shampoo and Conditioner and So Blonde Toning Treatment. These purple-based professional products help neutralize unwanted yellow or brassy undertones, keeping your blonde looking fresh as well as nourished and in salon-perfect condition.

How to Use:

• Shampoo First: Use So Cool shampoo to cleanse your hair. You may need to wash twice if you have product build-up or an oily scalp. The longer you keep in the shampoo, the more your hair will be toned.
• Apply Toning Treatment: After shampooing, apply the So Blonde Toning Treatment to wet hair and leave it on for 5-10 minutes for nourishment.
• Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse out thoroughly, and style as usual.
• Pro Tip: For best results, use the treatment once a week or whenever your blonde starts to look dry, damaged and too warm or brassy.

For the Pink Hair Enthusiast: Salon Only So Pink Shampoo

If you love to rock pastel pink hues, keeping that vibrant colour intact in the summer can be tricky. Fading from sun exposure, chlorine, and saltwater can leave your colour looking lacklustre. That’s where Salon Only So Pink Shampoo comes in. This shampoo is specifically designed to deposit pink tones in blonde or fair hair and also help preserve the rich, vibrant tones of pink coloured hair, keeping it fresh for longer.

How to Use:

• Gentle Cleansing: Apply to damp hair and gently lather, working the shampoo into your strands.
• Rinse: Rinse thoroughly and follow with a conditioner suitable for colour-treated hair.
• Pro Tip: The longer you leave the shampoo in, the more intense the pink tone.

Curl Cream for Defined Curls: RPR Make Me Curly Curl Cream

Summer can be a challenging time for curly-haired individuals. Humidity can cause curls to frizz, and too much sun can leave them looking dry and undefined. RPR Make Me Curly Curl Cream is your go-to product for defined, frizz-free curls that will hold their shape no matter how hot or humid it gets.

How to Use:

• On Damp Hair: After washing your hair, apply the curl cream evenly to damp hair. Work it through from roots to ends.
• Drying Method: For more volume, use a diffuser to dry your curls, or simply let them air dry for a more natural look.
• Pro Tip: If your hair is very dry and damaged, mix Make Me Curly with My Vitaliser for an intense leave-in, nourishing curl definition.

Summer can be a time of freedom and fun, but it can also be tough on your hair. The right products, like So Swell Sea Salt Spray, RPR De-Chlorinate My Hair Shampoo, RPR My Vitaliser Leave-In Conditioner, and others, can help you maintain healthy, beautiful hair throughout the hot season. From beachy waves to vibrant curls and flawless blonde tones, these salon-grade products are the secret to achieving the perfect summer hair that can stand up to sun, salt, and chlorine.

Don’t let the summer elements take a toll on your hair—embrace the season with the right products, and enjoy healthy, gorgeous hair all summer long!
