Deep-Condition Regularly

One of the best ways to hydrate hair is to add a weekly deep conditioner to your summer hair care routine. Opt for nourishing products containing one or more moisture blasts from Mother Nature: avocado, olive, vitamin E and almond oils, shea butter, aloe vera gel and glycerin. Explore our deep-conditioning selection from the Fructis Sleek & Shine range.

Hydrate with Hair Oil

Treat your summer hair to a moisture lock with penetrating emollients like Triple Nutrition Marvelous Oil. It has multiple uses like hot-tool protection, so it’s a must-have for summer hair care.

Hair Tips and Advice

Avoid Hot Styling Tools

Excess heat from styling tools, particularly in the summer, strips your hair of oils and dries it out. Embrace your natural locks when it’s hot by foregoing dryers and irons. Try air-drying with the help of Sleek & Shine 10-in-1 Leave-In Spray to tame potential frizz. If you can’t resist a blowout now and then, protect your hair with Perfector Mist and click a diffuser onto your dryer.

Brush with Care

Brush to evenly distribute moisture and detangle by using a wide round brush. For extra dry and frizzy hair, reach for a wide-tooth comb and apply a detangling spray. In all cases, avoid brushing or combing wet hair that’s at its most fragile.

Protect Hair from Exposure

Since there’s no such thing as sunscreen for hair, plan for sunny outings by packing a hat, scarf and/or swim cap. And if you do take a dip, wash out the chlorine or salt after toweling off.

Drink Water

As the temperatures rise, so should your water intake. Stay hydrated from the inside out to help your hair maintain moisture.
