How to Keep Your Hair Healthy in Austin’s Spring & Summer Heat Protect Your Hair from Heat, Humidity & Sun

Spring and summer in Austin & Pflugerville bring hot temperatures, strong sun, and high humidity—all of which can damage hair, fade color, and cause dryness or frizz. Whether you have blonde, vivid color, extensions, or curly hair, it’s essential to adjust your haircare routine to keep your strands healthy.

At Spoleti Salon, we specialize in customized haircare solutions to help you maintain vibrant color, smooth texture, and strong, hydrated hair all season long. Here’s how to protect and refresh your hair for warmer months!

☀️ 1. Shield Your Hair from the Sun

Just like your skin, your hair needs UV protection! The sun can fade color, weaken strands, and dry out your scalp.

How to Protect It:
✔️ Use a UV-protectant spray to prevent fading and dryness.
✔️ Wear a hat or scarf when outdoors for long periods.
✔️ Get a toning or gloss treatment at the salon to refresh color if it fades.

🌿 Aveda Product Recommendation: Aveda Sun Care Protective Hair Veil
✔️ Provides UV protection for up to 16 hours
✔️ Prevents color fading and dryness
✔️ Lightweight, water-resistant mist
💡 How to Use: Mist evenly onto dry or damp hair before sun exposure. Reapply after swimming.

💡 Best for: Blondes, vivid colors, brunettes, and anyone with color-treated hair.

💧 2. Keep Hair Hydrated & Frizz-Free

Austin’s humidity can make hair dry, frizzy, and unmanageable, especially if you have curly, blonde, or chemically treated hair.

How to Protect It:
✔️ Use a moisturizing shampoo & conditioner to lock in hydration.
✔️ Try a weekly deep conditioning treatment to restore moisture.
✔️ Get a keratin treatment at Spoleti Salon for smooth, frizz-free hair.

🌿 Aveda Product Recommendation: Aveda Nutriplenish Hydrating Treatment Masque
✔️ Provides intense hydration and moisture retention
✔️ Perfect for dry, frizz-prone, and color-treated hair
✔️ Strengthens hair while adding shine
💡 How to Use: Apply to damp hair, leave for 5-10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.

💡 Best for: Curly hair, balayage, blonding, and frizz-prone hair types.

🏊‍♀️ 3. Protect Hair from Pool & Beach Water

Chlorine and salt water strip moisture and dull hair color—blondes may even develop a green tint from pool chemicals!

How to Protect It:
✔️ Rinse hair with clean water before swimming—this prevents absorption of harsh chemicals.
✔️ Apply a leave-in conditioner as a protective barrier.
✔️ Use a clarifying shampoo weekly to remove buildup without stripping moisture.

🌿 Aveda Product Recommendation: Aveda Sun Care Hair and Body Cleanser
✔️ Removes chlorine, salt, and product buildup
✔️ Gentle on color-treated hair
✔️ Infused with tamanu oil and green tea extract for added hydration
💡 How to Use: Massage into wet hair and scalp, lather, and rinse thoroughly. Use after swimming or sun exposure.

💡 Best for: Blondes, brunettes, vivid colors, and extensions.

✂️ 4. Trim & Refresh Your Hair for Summer

Hot weather = dry ends, breakage, and hair that won’t hold style. Keeping your hair trimmed & fresh ensures healthy, bouncy, and manageable locks.

Best Summer Hair Updates:
✔️ Dusting or micro-trims to remove split ends.
✔️ A layered cut for movement and airiness.
✔️ A toning or gloss treatment to refresh faded color.

🌿 Aveda Product Recommendation: Aveda Damage Remedy Daily Hair Repair
✔️ Instantly repairs and protects against breakage
✔️ Reduces split ends and strengthens hair
✔️ Lightweight formula for all hair types
💡 How to Use: Apply a small amount to damp hair before styling. Do not rinse.

💡 Best for: All hair types—everyone benefits from a summer refresh!
