Anyone else guilty of planning the perfect summer outfits and having your makeup bag packed, only to forget a key part that can truly make or break the look? Yep, we’re talking about your hair. Between sun exposure, salty sea air, and all the styling, take this as your sign to double down on hair care—minus the stress, of course.
Before you feel the pressure, know this: your summer hair doesn’t have to be high-maintenance to look fresh and fabulous. A low-maintenance routine, paired with the right products (hello, Sunsilk), is all you need for hydrated, healthy hair. For the on-the-go girlies, read on—and best believe you’ll be swearing by this haircare routine before the season’s over.
Everyday Essential: Cleansing with Shampoo and Conditioner
One of the biggest mistakes people make when it comes to summer hair care is skipping proper cleansing. Between beach trips and late-night sunset parties, your hair can easily accumulate sweat, saltwater, and styling products, leaving it feeling weighed down and lackluster. The solution? A simple routine that starts with the basics: shampoo and conditioner.
This dynamic duo is your everyday essential for clean, refreshed, and manageable hair. With the NEW Sunsilk Smooth & Manageable Activ-Infusion, a powerful blend of oils, vitamins, and proteins, these products not only cleanse but also protect your hair from the five causes of frizz. Tip: Rinse your hair with lukewarm or cold water to seal the cuticles and enhance that fresh feeling.
The Second (But Very Important) Step: Leave-In Conditioner for Smoothness
Hair PSA: Leave-in conditioner isn’t extra—it’s essential. It hydrates, detangles, smooths, and even shields your strands from UV rays and heat damage. Think of it as skincare, but for your hair.
The best time to apply is right after you shower—on damp, towel-dried hair—when your strands are most absorbent. Whether you’re air-drying after a shower or heat-styling for a night out, this step gives your strands the moisture and protection they need to stay soft, manageable, and frizz-free all day. Miss it, and your hair will feel some type of way.
Weekly Wonder: Hair Treatment for Healthy Strands
Even the simplest hair routine deserves a little extra TLC. Once a week, during your ~everything shower~, take a moment to reset with a treatment mask. From sun-soaked days to sticky city heat, your hair goes through a lot—and this staple provides the extra layer of care your strands crave after being exposed to harsh elements.
While it’s important to find a formula suited to your hair type, a tried-and-tested favorite for the season is one with coconut oil. Its natural hydrating properties make it perfect for tackling dryness and damage. Whether your hair is curly, straight, or somewhere in between, this deep treatment is a summer must-have that’ll leave your strands ready for whatever the season brings.
Fast Fix: The Hair Hack You Can Clip On
Styling your hair in the summer is a must, but it doesn’t have to take all day. Think of it as the finishing touch to your makeup routine or outfit of the day. Especially when you’re chasing the day, a hair accessory can instantly elevate your look. Whether it’s a sleek bun with a claw clip, a half-up style with a scrunchie, or soft waves tucked behind a bejeweled headband, these small add-ons pull everything together.
Paired with smooth, frizz-free strands, it’s effortless styling that still feels intentional. Basically? It’s main character energy, but make it easy.

From hydrating shampoos to on-the-go solutions like dry shampoo and leave-in conditioners, you’ve got everything you need to keep your hair smooth, shiny, and ready for whatever the day (or the sun) throws at you.
