How to recover your hair after summer?
Summer gifts us with days at the beach, pool, and sun, but it also leaves a mark on our hair: dryness, frizz, loss of shine, and even split ends. Chlorine, salt, sun, and heat are factors that weaken the hair fiber and cause our hair to lose strength. But don't worry, because with the right care, you can restore its vitality and recover healthy, beautiful hair in no time.
In this blog, we tell you why hair gets so damaged in summer and what steps and products you can incorporate into your routine to repair it from the first wash.
During the summer months, hair is exposed to a combination of factors that test it day after day.
On one hand, the sun acts like a giant hairdryer: it opens the hair cuticle and degrades keratin, the protein that gives it strength and structure. The result? A more fragile hair fiber, with less shine and more tendency to break.
If we add the sea salt, which dries it out a lot, leaving the hair rough and with a “scrubby” look, things get complicated. And of course, the chlorine from swimming pools doesn't help either: it strips away the natural oils that protect the fiber and, in dyed hair, can even alter the color (hello, greenish highlights in blondes!).
Moreover, the heat and more frequent washings cause the hair to lose even more hydration and become frizzy, dull, and lifeless. That's why it's normal that at the end of summer you notice your hair drier, with split ends and hard to manage.
The good news is that all this damage is solvable. With a specific care routine, your hair can recover and be soft, shiny, and strong again. In this blog, we tell you step by step how to do it, with products that hydrate, repair, and restore lost vitality.
After summer, hair needs a break. It has been exposed to the sun, salt, chlorine, and constant washing, so the last thing it wants is a too aggressive shampoo that strips away the few natural oils still protecting it. This is where gentle yet effective cleaning comes in: choose products that remove impurities without leaving the hair tight or dry.
A good restorative shampoo should contain nourishing agents (such as vegetable oils, proteins, or panthenol) that hydrate while cleaning. The idea is for the hair to feel fresh and light, but also soft to the touch. Forget that “squeaky clean” feeling after washing: what we are looking for now is comfort, flexibility, and for the hair fiber to start regaining its balance.
We recommend:
✨ Karseell Maca Power Shampoo for Damaged Hair: A luxury hair treatment designed to nourish, repair, and deeply hydrate dry, damaged, or chemically treated hair.
✨ K18 Detox Peptide Prep Shampoo: Its detoxifying power deeply cleanses, working to unclog follicles and remove dirt, oils, metals, and product buildup.
✨ Whamisa Organic Seeds Purifying Shampoo: Specially formulated to deeply cleanse oily and sensitive scalps without disrupting their natural balance.
✨ Revox Plex Purifying Shampoo: Helps repair damaged bonds from perming, bleaching, dyeing, and heat styling, restoring the hair's natural softness, shine, and radiance.
When talking about a true hair lifesaver after summer, masks take the gold medal. While conditioner does its job of softening and detangling, masks work on a much deeper level. Their formulas are loaded with active ingredients that penetrate the core of the hair fiber, repairing from within, restoring elasticity, and bringing back that movement and shine we miss so much after the beach and pool.
Ideally, pamper your hair with a mask once or twice a week. However, it's not enough to apply and rinse in a minute: the longer you leave it on, the better
A very useful trick is to apply it, gather the hair into a bun, and wrap it with a shower cap or a slightly warm towel: this enhances the effect, as the heat helps the ingredients penetrate better.
At Maquillalia you can find true gems for every need:
✨ Karseell Collagen Repair Hair Mask: formulated to eliminate frizz, intensely hydrate, and add shine from the first application.
✨ Olaplex Bond Intense Moisture Mask No. 8: Adds shine, softness, and body to your hair while providing intense hydration perfect for the most damaged hair.
✨ Mimare Reconstructive Mask with Abyssinica Seed Oil: Ideal for damaged, dry, and frizzy hair that needs intensive care.
Hydrating is great, but… what if we then let all that nutrition escape? Here is where hair oils and serums come into play, acting as a “lock-in” to keep the moisture inside the hair. They also have an immediate effect: they provide softness, control frizz, and add a magazine-worthy shine in seconds. The key is to apply them to the mid-lengths and ends, avoiding the roots so they don't look greasy. Ideally, use them on damp hair after washing, but you can also reapply a small amount on dry hair when you feel your mane looks dull or has rough ends.
Some foolproof recommendations are:
✨ Revox Plex Molecular Hair Oil: Instantly transforms hair with radiant shine and visible softness. It is a multifunctional solution for frizzy, dry, and damaged hair.
✨ Freshly Golden Drops Oil Serum Hair Oil: Merges with your hair fibers to hydrate them, control frizz, add softness, and instantly boost shine.
✨ K18 Molecular Repair Hair Oil: Works on all hair types to strengthen, repair damage, reduce frizz at two levels of the hair fiber, and enhance shine.
✨ Olaplex Bonding Oil No. 7: Provides nutrition to the hair, recovering the most damaged hair fiber and offering longer-lasting frizz control.
✨ Arganour 100% Pure Coconut Oil: This naturally sourced cosmetic is well known for its moisturizing properties, making it the perfect ally for the driest and most damaged skin and hair.
Returning to routine is also the ideal time to reset your hair and give it a complete action plan. Here are some easy and effective tips:
✅ Trim the ends: Nothing like a haircut to start strong. You don't need to make a radical change, just trimming the split ends can make your hair look healthier.
✅ Incorporate heat protectants: If you're a fan of straighteners or hair dryers, don't forget the protective shield!
✅ Opt for leave-in treatments: Sprays and leave-in conditioners are your perfect allies to hydrate throughout the day effortlessly.
✅ Watch your diet and drink water: Healthy hair starts from within. A diet rich in proteins, vitamins, and minerals will restore strength to your hair, and staying hydrated is essential for it to look more vibrant and shiny.
✅ Be consistent: Hair care is a marathon, not a sprint. If you follow a routine patiently, in a few weeks you will start to notice how your hair gains body, shine, and becomes much more manageable.
Summer leaves us with precious memories… but also with hair that often cries out for help. The good news is that with consistency and the right products, your hair can be soft, shiny, and full of life again in no time.
