Summer Hair Care – What Would Your Hair Ask for If It Could Talk?

Summer is one of the most beautiful seasons – sunshine, vacations, waterfront relaxation, and a sense of freedom. But let’s be honest: our hair doesn’t always enjoy it as much as we do. Sun exposure, chlorinated or salty water, heat, frequent washing, and styling can be a tough combination, even for the strongest hair. And it’s not just our opinion – the latest survey results show that for many people, hair care becomes a real challenge during the summer months.

Your responses clearly show a common struggle: many of you are dealing with dry, damaged, oily hair, or fading hair color – all while trying to establish an effective summer routine. And that’s no easy task, especially when faced with a wide array of products and the fact that your hair needs something completely different in summer than it does in winter. That’s where we come in: we’ll walk you through the most common problems and show you what you can do to tackle them.

Dry hair? You're not alone

According to the survey, this was the most common complaint – and it’s no surprise. Just a few days in the sun, a little styling with a blow dryer or flat iron, and your hair can quickly lose its elasticity and shine… and even start to break. This is especially true for color-treated hair, which is already more delicate and even more prone to drying out during the summer.

What’s the solution? Regular, deep hydration. If you haven’t already, it’s worth adding the KJMN Keratin hair mask, to your routine once a week. Enriched with keratin and milk protein, it helps restore your hair’s softness and shine.

Our tip: finish your routine with a hair end care oil – this helps lock in moisture and reduces split ends.

Split Ends? Your Hair Deserves a Little Break Too

The survey made it clear: split ends are a recurring issue for many of you – especially if you have fine hair. Summer heat, sunlight, wind, and frequent heat styling only make matters worse.

What if your hair took a little break this summer? Putting the flat iron or curling wand aside for a while can do wonders for your hair. But if you do stick with heat styling, make sure you’re using proper heat protection.

Our tip: Use the KJMN rosemary hair end care oil, to nourish and strengthen your ends, and complete your routine with the PLEX Bond Builder heat protection spray to shield your strands from heat damage caused by styling – without weighing them down. This is especially important if you have fine hair.

Summer Hair Color Protection – It’s Not Just Your Skin That Needs Sun Protection

According to the survey responses, color fading is a top concern for those with dyed hair – and it’s easy to see why. That familiar feeling when your fresh, vibrant color fades within weeks, turning dull and losing its shine? UV radiation doesn’t just damage your skin – it also harms your hair. It fades color, dries out the strands, and weakens the hair’s structure – often without you even noticing.

Fortunately, a hat isn’t your only option – a few well-chosen color-protecting steps can go a long way.

Our tip: use the KJMN Color product line, specifically designed to meet the needs of color-treated hair – it nourishes the strands and helps maintain the color’s freshness and vibrancy.

With a little extra care, your hair color can stay just as vibrant at the end of August as it was the day you walked out of the salon.

Oily hair? Frequent washing is not always the solution!

Many of you mentioned that oily hair becomes especially problematic in the summer. That’s completely natural – heat, sweating, hats, scarves, and sunglasses can all increase sebum production.

However, washing your hair too often with drying shampoos can actually make things worse, as your scalp reacts by going into "defense mode" - producing even more oil.

Our tip: Instead, opt for a refreshing yet gentle solution – like the KJMN Rosemary & Mint shampoo, which gently cleanses the scalp while providing a cooling and toning effect. And for a quick refresh between washes, reach for the GoGo dry shampoo – it revitalizes your hair in minutes and is perfect for travel, too.

The result? Clean, fresh-feeling hair – without the need for frequent washing.

Your hair will thank you for taking care of it – even in the summer

In summer, we all feel that our hair needs a little extra attention. After all, our hair isn’t just part of our appearance – it also affects how we feel and even influences our confidence.

But now you know that a good summer hair care routine doesn’t have to be complicated: a nourishing mask, targeted color and UV protection, a lightweight shampoo, a hair oil for the ends, and a dry shampoo – that’s often all it takes to keep your hair healthy, shiny, and manageable throughout the summer months.

If you’re unsure, don’t hesitate to reach out – we’ll be happy to help you find what works best for your hair!
