Turn Up the Heat—Not the Hair Damage: Our Guide to Summer Hair Health

Make Summer Your Season of Hair Strength

Between high temps, humidity and UV exposure, summer can leave your hair feeling dry, brittle and impossible to style. But a few smart product swaps can make a noticeable difference. At Anaala Salon and Spa, we’re all about effortless updates that fit right into your summer plans.

Why Your Summer Hair Needs Extra Support

Heat and sun exposure can weaken hair over time, while humidity leads to frizz and loss of definition. A summer hair care reset helps replenish moisture, build strength and create long-lasting style with less effort.

Here’s what we recommend this summer:

Step 1: Start with Strength

Aveda Botanical Repair™ Bond-Building Styling Creme

A newer addition to the Botanical Repair family, this styling creme offers light hold while strengthening from the inside out. It helps reinforce hair integrity during heat styling and reduces visible signs of damage.

Key Ingredients:

  • Plant-powered bond-building molecules reinforce weak hair
  • Nourishing blend smooths and detangles
  • Lightweight formula provides softness and subtle control

Step 2: Detox After Sun & Sweat

Aveda Scalp Solutions Exfoliating Scalp Treatment

Your scalp needs just as much attention as your strands during summer. Product buildup, oil and environmental stressors can throw your scalp out of balance. Use this exfoliating treatment once or twice a week to reset and refresh.

Why it works:

  • Salicylic acid helps remove sebum and buildup
  • Gently detoxifies without over-drying
  • Prepares the scalp for healthier hair growth

Step 3: Smooth, Define and Defend

Aveda Smooth Infusion™ Perfect Blow Dry

Humidity calls for a styling product that actually holds up. This heat-activated treatment blocks frizz for up to 72 hours and helps your blowout last longer in the heat.

Why Guests Love It:

  • Protects against humidity and frizz without stiffness
  • Creates a smooth, soft finish
  • Plant polymer shield wraps each strand for weightless control

Step 4: Reset with a Gentle, Everyday Cleanser

Aveda Shampowder™ Shampoo

Instead of overwashing, opt for a dry shampoo that works double-duty. Aveda’s Shampowder™ Dry Shampoo refreshes hair between washes and helps preserve natural oils that your scalp actually needs—especially when the sun and heat are drying everything out.

What Sets It Apart:

  • Non-aerosol powder format is travel- and beach-bag friendly
  • Naturally derived ingredients absorb excess oil and odor
  • Leaves hair looking clean, volumized and touchable

These aren’t just seasonal swaps—they’re smart updates to help your hair stay healthy, strong and easy to manage when the temperatures rise. Book your next reservation at Anaala Salon and Spa and let our stylists personalize your summer care routine with the industry’s newest innovations.
