Summer-Proof Your Hair: Your Expert Tips

Expert haircare tips and advice for summer hair

As we head into 2025, many of us are feeling the effects of summer celebrations and sun exposure. At Rodney Wayne, we understand that beautiful, healthy hair is essential to helping you feel your best, so with our Creative and Education Director, Newton Cook, we’ve put together expert tips to help your strands shine.

“The start of the year is the perfect time to reset your hair care routine,” says Newton. “Summer can be particularly harsh on our hair, but with the right care and treatments, we can repair that damage and start fresh.” Here are our top recommendations for revitalising your hair this summer:

Start Fresh

Those split ends from the festive season won’t fix themselves. “Regular trims are crucial for maintaining healthy hair,” Newton explains. “By removing split ends and damaged sections, you prevent further splitting and instantly improve your hair’s overall health and appearance.” Book in for a shape and style, or even just a trim, to give your hair the fresh start it deserves.

Scalp Health is Hair Health

One often overlooked aspect of hair care is scalp health. “During the warmer seasons, our scalp needs just as much attention as our hair,” Newton notes. “That’s why I recommend booking in for a K-Scan at your next appointment. K-Scan is the latest tech from Kérastase and one of the first places in the world you can experience it is at Rodney Wayne. This microscopic analysis helps us diagnose your scalp condition and prescribe the perfect serum to rebalance everything. Remember, you can’t have healthy hair without a healthy scalp.”

Colour Refresh

Is your hair colour looking a bit tired after summer? Harsh sunlight can often have a fading effect on your hair, but you might not need a complete overhaul. “Instead of doing a full colour refresh from roots to ends, consider a dimensional refresh,” advises Newton. “This technique gives the hair a more natural, textured finish while addressing faded areas. It’s a more nuanced approach that maintains hair health while ensuring you look your best.”

Salon-Quality Care at Home

For professional-quality care between salon visits, Newton recommends an addition to your regular hair regimen: “The Redken Acidic Bonding Complex Mask is perfect for reviving hair after summer damage. I love to use this mask once a week instead of my regular conditioner, applying it to towel-dried hair. Removing excess moisture before application gives the product the best chance to work its magic.” This revolutionary mask offers intense nourishment and repair for all hair types and textures. Formulated with Redken’s nourishing Conditioning Care Complex, it deeply repairs damage in just 5 minutes, providing immediate detangling and enhanced hydration for stronger, more resilient hair.
