The Summer Beauty Step Everyone’s Skipping (That Could Be Ruining Your Hair): Let's Clarify!

Let's Clarify!

When we think of summer beauty, we usually focus on protecting our skin from the sun or fighting frizz — but your scalp? It’s often forgotten. And yet, during summer, it’s under attack from UV rays, sweat, chlorine, sunscreen buildup, and excess oil — all of which can lead to itchiness, flaking, dull roots, and even hair thinning if left unchecked.

☀️ What Happens to Your Scalp in the Summer?

• Sweat & oil clog pores, leading to irritation and dandruff.

• UV exposure can dry out your scalp and cause sunburn (yep, even under hair).

• Swimming in chlorine or saltwater strips your scalp of natural oils.

• Dry shampoo overload from sweaty days adds even more buildup.

🧴 Scalp Care = Better Hair Days

Treating your scalp like your skin is the secret to healthier, shinier, and fuller hair — especially in the summer. Here’s how to show it some love:

1. Clarify Weekly

Product Recommendation:
👉 K18 Peptide Prep Detox Shampoo – A favorite over the years that deep cleans hair of product buildup, excess oil, and metals common in tap and hard water, with a pH-optimized formula that is color-safe and won’t leave hair over-stripped or easily tangled.

2. Exfoliate & Detox

Product Recommendation:
👉 Biolage Scalp Sync Purifying Scalp Concentrate – A gentle yet exfoliating concentrate that removes impurities and balances the scalp. Simply massage onto scalp for 5 minutes, leave on for additional 10 minutes minutes, then shampoo out! 

3. Hydrate and Nourish

Product Recommendation:
👉 Moroccanoil Scalp Revitalizing Tonic – A weightless leave-in scalp treatment spray proven to reduce shedding for thicker, denser-looking hair, this fast-absorbing daily leave-in treatment revitalizes hair and invigorates the scalp while also nourishing, alleviating discomfort, and providing a soothing sensation.

4. Protect from the Sun

Product Tip:
If you’ll be in the sun for extended periods, part your hair in a few spots and apply a little SPF spray directly to your scalp — or better yet, wear a cute hat! Clothes/hats with UPF, not SPF, provide sun protection and are a great way to protect your body and scalp in addition to sunscreen.

🌊 Scalp Care Is the New Self-Care

Your scalp is skin, and just like your face and body, it needs seasonal TLC. A clean, balanced scalp = healthier hair growth and less irritation all summer long.
