South Surrey’s sunshine season is serving everything: beach days at Crescent, breezy dinner dates on Marine Drive, and iced coffee runs that turn into photo ops. But while you’re living your best sun-soaked life, your hair is quietly gasping for moisture. From UV rays to saltwater and chlorine, summer is a slow burn—and your strands are the ones catching fire. Let’s fix that.

The Sun is Hot & Your Hair is Drying Out

South Surrey summers are a dream: rosé on the White Rock patio, spontaneous dips at Crescent Beach, and every excuse to let your hair catch the breeze. But while you’re basking in golden-hour glory, your hair is quietly drying out faster than your SPF reapplication schedule.

Here’s the truth your stylist wants you to know: Summer is the season of silent damage. From UV rays to saltwater to that oh-so-fun chlorine cocktail at the community pool, your hair is being stripped of moisture, protein, and its natural protective oils—daily.

This blog is your hydration intervention. Whether you’re rocking baby-fine strands or a full crown of curls, we’ve got the expert-approved ways to protect, revive, and maintain summer hair that looks (and feels) as lush as your oceanfront aesthetic.

The Science of Summer Hair Damage

Hair is hygroscopic, meaning it pulls moisture from the air—but when the environment is hot, dry, or chemically aggressive (think chlorine and UV), it loses moisture faster than it can absorb it.

Here’s what’s working against you:

  • UV Radiation: Breaks down keratin proteins and fades artificial pigment, leaving colour-treated hair dull and lifeless.Saltwater: Dehydrates strands by pulling out natural oils. For curl patterns, this leads to shrinkage, frizz, and breakage.
  • Chlorine: Opens the cuticle and reacts with colour molecules—especially in blondes, resulting in brassiness or even a greenish cast.
  • Heat Styling: Curling and flat irons further lift the cuticle, increasing moisture loss.
  • Air Conditioning: Your car and office ACs wick moisture from your hair just like they do from your skin.

Summer Hair Care by Hair Type

For Fine Hair

The Challenge:
Fine hair dehydrates easily but becomes greasy or weighed down by rich products.

The Fix:

  • Use a gentle, sulfate-free volumizing shampoo to keep the scalp fresh without stripping.  This will make your hair feel and look weightless and goregous from the very begining.
  • Look for featherweight leave-in conditioners with aloe vera, panthenol, or rice protein.
  • Incorporate a bond builder weekly (such as Olaplex No.3) to protect against breakage without heaviness.
