☀️ How to Care for Your Hair Differently in the Summer: Expert Tips from Envy Beauty Den

When summer arrives in Campbell River, it brings sunshine, beach days, and all the carefree vibes we love. But let’s be honest — it’s also the season when our hair can take a serious hit. Between UV rays, saltwater, humidity, and chlorine, summer can leave your strands feeling dry, brittle, and lifeless. At Envy Beauty Den, we’re passionate about helping you feel beautiful in every season — and that starts with smart, seasonal hair care.

Here’s how to protect, hydrate, and nourish your hair during the summer months, with a little help from our favorite product line: Davines.

🌞 Why Your Hair Needs Different Care in the Summer

Just like your skin, your hair is sensitive to environmental changes. Increased exposure to the sun can damage your cuticle layer (the outer shell of the hair), leading to:

• Faded color (especially for blondes, brunettes, and vivid tones)

• Dehydration and frizz

• Split ends and breakage

• Scalp sensitivity and dryness

Whether you’re wearing hair extensions, rocking a fresh balayage, or embracing your natural texture, changing up your hair routine in summer is a must.

💧 5 Expert Tips to Care for Your Hair in Summer

1. Hydrate Like You Mean It

Summer heat and sun exposure can zap moisture from your strands, especially if your hair is color-treated or chemically processed. Using a deeply hydrating shampoo and conditioner is essential. We love the Davines OI Shampoo and OI Conditioner — rich in Roucou oil, they hydrate without weighing your hair down and leave it silky-smooth and shiny.

Bonus tip: Add a weekly moisture mask, like the Davines OI Hair Mask, to restore softness and elasticity.

2. Shield Your Hair from the Sun

Think of UV rays as sunburn for your hair. Just as you use SPF on your skin, your hair deserves protection too. The Davines OI Hair Milk is a lightweight leave-in spray that offers UV protection while moisturizing and detangling — perfect before a day at the beach or pool.

3. Rinse After Swimming

Saltwater and chlorine can strip your hair’s natural oils and even alter color-treated hair. After swimming, rinse your hair immediately with fresh water. If you can’t shampoo right away, even a quick rinse helps remove buildup and prevents dryness.

When you’re ready to wash, the Davines OI Shampoo gently removes residue without stripping essential moisture — ideal after a swim session.

4. Go Easy on Heat Styling

Hot tools + summer heat = stressed-out strands. Take advantage of the warm weather to embrace your natural texture and give your hair a break from flat irons and blow dryers. If you still love a styled look, always prep with a heat protectant.

Let your hair air-dry with a little Davines Love Curl Controller  for effortless summer texture that celebrates your natural beauty.

5. Trim Regularly & Treat Yourself

The sun and elements can lead to split ends and dryness. Regular trims — even just a dusting — help prevent breakage and keep your style looking fresh. And don’t forget, summer is the perfect time to treat yourself to a professional deep conditioning service or gloss treatment at Envy Beauty Den to refresh your color and seal in shine.

💛 Your Hair Deserves Seasonal Self-Care

Your hair deserves the same love and attention you give to your summer skincare routine. By adjusting your products and habits for the warmer months, you’ll enjoy shinier, healthier hair all summer long — and beyond.
