Healthy Summer Hair Tips

Do’s and Don’ts for Healthy Summer Hair from Peter Gotthard Hairdressing

Longer days, sunshine-filled afternoons, and holidays on the horizon – summer is a beautiful time of year, but it can also take a toll on your hair. At Peter Gotthard Hairdressing in Harrogate, we’re here to help you enjoy the season while keeping your hair looking and feeling its best, with expert advice, tailored treatments, and summer-friendly product recommendations.

Do Protect Your Hair From the Sun

Just as you protect your skin, your hair deserves the same level of care. Exposure to UV rays can dry out and weaken your hair, especially if it's coloured or lightened. That’s why we recommend the Davines SU range, specifically created to protect sun-exposed hair.

The SU Hair Milk is ideal for summer – a lightweight, leave-in treatment that provides both moisture and UV protection. Whether you're jetting off to the beach or enjoying garden BBQs, this is a must-have for your summer haircare routine.

Don’t Skip Your Treatments

Sunshine, saltwater, and chlorine can all leave your hair feeling dry and brittle. We offer Davines Tailored Treatments in salon, designed to nourish, hydrate, and repair your hair depending on its specific needs.

These treatments are fully customised and deeply restorative, helping to rebuild strength and shine while keeping your hair manageable and healthy throughout the season.

Do Book a Summer Trim

Split ends and dryness are more noticeable in summer, so a regular trim is essential. Booking a fresh cut before your holiday helps your hair look polished and healthy, while a post-holiday tidy-up can refresh your style and remove any sun-stressed ends.

Whether you're thinking about a soft layered look or a bold seasonal restyle, we’re here to help you feel confident in your summer hair.

Don’t Rely on Heat Styling

With warmer weather on your side, it’s the perfect time to ease off the heated tools. Air drying your hair or using a diffuser on a low setting can help prevent unnecessary heat damage. If you do choose to style, always use a protective product – we’ll happily recommend the best Davines styling essentials to support your summer hair goals.

Do Take Care of Your Hair Colour

Coloured hair can fade faster in the summer months, especially with added sun and pool exposure. Using colour-safe products from Davines will help protect your tone and maintain shine. We also offer in-salon glossing services and colour refresh appointments to keep your shade looking vibrant all season long.
