When the warm days arrive, many of us spend more time outdoors enjoying the summer vibes—and some might even find themselves sunbathing at the beach. But while we soak up the sunshine, our hair faces its own seasonal challenges: heat, UV rays, salty sea breezes, and more. Make sure to recommend summer-proof hair products to your clients so they can keep their hair healthy and protected all season long.
Recommend These Summer Hair Essentials to Your Clients
Use Leave-In Products
Just like skin needs sun protection, hair benefits from UV defense too. The Four Reasons Original Summer UV Mist is a hydrating leave-in spray that shields the hair from harmful UV rays. It’s packed with aloe vera to moisturize and care for the hair, leaving it soft, shiny, and beach-day beautiful. Other essential leave-in mists are:
- Four Reasons Original Moisture Mist
- Four Reasons Original Curl Mist
- Four Reasons Original Color Mist
- Four Reasons Original Repair Mist
PSA! The Four Reasons Professional hairsprays also contain humidity and UV protection. Tell your clients to mist on their favorite hairspray before heading outside to lock in their style and guard against the elements. Try recommending these salon faves:
Switch Up Your Wash Routine
Summer means sweat, sand, saltwater, chlorine and a whole lot more that can build up in the hair. That’s why regular washing is key. The Four Reasons Original Summer Shampoo gently cleanses while delivering hydration with aloe vera, leaving hair silky-soft and shiny.
On hot days, the scalp tends to sweat more than usual. For a deeper cleanse, alternate with a purifying shampoo to remove excess oil and impurities. And don’t forget your scalp deserves a little exfoliation love too, just like the skin on your face. Use the Four Reasons Original Scalp Scrub once a month for a fresh, happy scalp.
Use a Moisturizing Conditioner
All that sun, wind, and water can lead to dry, tangled hair. The Four Reasons Original Summer Conditioner helps detangle, smooth static, and boost manageability. Its aloe-infused formula leaves hair soft, hydrated, and ready for summer styling.
Sun-parched hair will also thank you for adding a moisture or repair treatment into the mix. For a moisture bomb, reach for Four Reasons Original Ultra Moisture Treatment, and if your hair needs some serious rehab, the Four Reasons Professional Bio-Molecule Repair Treatment strengthens and restores inside and out.
Minimize Heat Styling
Since your hair already takes a heat hit from the sun, skip hot tools when you can. Let hair air dry, prep with Professional Fiber Mousse for hold, and go for braids or buns to keep things cute and cool. Your scalp will appreciate it too, no one likes hair stuck to a sweaty forehead.
That said, a quick blow-dry can give hair lift and airy volume, which helps keep your scalp cooler and your style fresher for longer. Just remember: always use a heat protectant. Four Reasons Original Heat Shield is a must for blow-drying, and Four Reasons Original Heat Styler is your go-to before using hot irons.
Use Physical Protection
When UV rays peak around midday, a physical barrier is one of the most effective ways to prevent sun damage to your hair and scalp. So, hat’s on! Scarves and head wraps are also your hair’s best summer friends.
When choosing summer accessories for your hair, go for breathable natural fibers. Linen is eco-friendly, moisture-wicking, and has that magical quality of feeling cool in the heat and cozy when the temperature drops. Cotton is another summer classic, it’s breathable, durable, and gentle on sensitive skin, plus it can handle hot washes.
