The One Summer Hair Mistake Everyone Makes (and How to Fix It Fast)
You’ve got the beachy waves, the leave-in conditioner, the heat protectant—but your hair still isn’t behaving. Sound familiar?
Summer hair isn’t just about fighting frizz or surviving the heat. The real mistake most people make? Ignoring how your hair’s environment changes—and not adjusting your routine to match.
At The Warehouse Salon in DeLand, FL, we see it every year. You come in wondering why your hair feels dry, faded, unmanageable, or heavy… and it turns out the culprit isn’t your hair type—it’s your routine.
Here’s the one summer mistake almost everyone makes—and three simple fixes that actually work.
❌ The Mistake: Using Your Winter Hair Routine in the Summer
We get it—you’ve got your go-to products, tools, and methods that have worked for months. But summer brings:
-
Humidity (hello, frizz)
-
Sun exposure (UV = color fading + dryness)
-
Pool/chlorine/saltwater (stripping and dulling effects)
-
Sweat and oil buildup (that shampoo is working overtime)
Your usual shampoo or conditioner might suddenly feel too heavy, your style falls flat, or your hair turns brassy faster than ever.
✅ The Fixes
1. Lighten Up Your Products (Literally)
Swap thick creams or oils for lightweight, hydrating mists or serums. Heavy products can trap heat and weigh your hair down, especially in humidity.
Pro Tip: Look for leave-ins that offer UV protection, too—it’s sunscreen for your strands.
2. Clarify Without Stripping
If you’re dealing with sweat, product buildup, or pool water, a once-weekly gentle clarifying shampoo can hit reset.
But don’t overdo it—follow up with a moisture mask to restore balance.
Bonus: Ask your stylist about a professional detox treatment to remove chlorine and mineral buildup.
3. Get a Heat-Free Summer Style Game Plan
Let’s be honest—no one wants to flat iron their hair in 90° heat.
Embrace low-heat or no-heat styling: air-dried waves, heatless curls, and braid-outs are your best friends.
