Keep your clients’ hair protected all season with our guide to beating the summer heat.
Are your clients aware of how damaging this season can be for their hair? Whether it’s sun exposure, humidity, sea salt or chlorine, summer can be extra tough on strands – leading to fading colour, split ends and breakage.
From top tips to recommended haircare products and routines, we’ve put together the ultimate guide to helping your client’s 'beat the heat' this summer season!
Share these five top tips for sun protection with your clients to help maintain optimal hair health during the summer months…
Anything from hats, hair scarfs or a product with UVA/UVB filter, such as the Bonacure Sun Protect Hair & Scalp Mist can provide a much-needed protective barrier to prevent exposure to the sun’s harmful rays. Just like you would with your skin, avoid sunbathing in the midday sun and instead seek shade or go out earlier in the day.
A hydrated body = hydrated hair, so keeping on top of your water consumption during the summer months will have a positive impact on your hair’s moisture. As a result, hair will be less frizzy and easier to style.
Avoid styling tools which can dry out your hair further. Heat breaks bonds within the hair structure and can cause permanent damage. If you do need to reach for a hot styling tool, use a low heat setting and a protection product such as the Bonacure Sun Protect 10-in-1 Summer Fluid.
Don’t forget to schedule in a summer salon visit! Trimming your ends regularly will speed up your hair’s recovery process, enhancing health and vitality.
Whether it’s before the day begins, in between swims or as the sun goes down, your hair and scalp deserve a moment of care. Arming your clients with the right haircare regime and products for protecting hair from the sun ensure lengths feel restored all season long.
We’ve put together the ultimate hairdresser-approved haircare routine for keeping locks healthy, hydrated and manageable this summer…
- Before you head out in the sun, apply the Bonacure Sun Protect 10-in-1 Summer Fluid to damp or dry hair from mid-lengths to ends and leave-in.

- Continue to re-apply the Bonacure Sun Protect 10-in-1 Summer Fluid and Bonacure Sun Protect Scalp & Hair Mist regularly.
