When it comes to haircare, we have the basics down pat—a hydrating shampoo and nourishing conditioner are non-negotiable for everyone. But a summer haircare routine needs a few extra steps that ensure your strands stay healthy, shiny and strong. The season comes with increased sun exposure and humidity, which can leave your strands feeling dry and brittle.
Ahead, we’ve rounded up the essentials—from overnight serums to moisturising masks—that you need to add to your bathroom shelf, stat.
First on the list, this high-performing mask is designed for hair that needs a serious moisture boost. Infused with antioxidant-rich argan oil, linseed extract and glycerin, it works to hydrate and soften the strands; and improve texture, elasticity and shine—all without weighing your hair down. Use it on towel-dried hair after you’ve used your regular shampoo, avoiding the scalp. Leave it on for 20 to 25 minutes and rinse thoroughly. Whether your hair feels dull or just needs a reset, this treatment is a simple way to get it looking its best.
Wake up to softer, more hydrated hair with this overnight serum by Aveda. Formulated with coconut oil, mango butter and pomegranate seed oil, it deeply nourishes dry and brittle strands while you get your eight hours in. It forms a lightweight protective layer to lock in moisture and defends against friction and frizz. No rinse required, just visible results by morning.
Packed with adaptogens, hyaluronic acid and red clover flower extract, this serum nourishes and hydrates your scalp, promoting a healthier environment for hair growth. Besides, it promises to soothe dryness, irritation and itchiness that comes with heat styling, all while infusing your hair with peptides that boost thickness and volume.
Infused with shea butter, jojoba oil and vitamins A, E and F, this treatment is known to deeply hydrate, soften and restore dry, damaged hair. While the jojoba oil helps clear product residue and promote a healthy scalp, the shea butter strengthens and moisturises hair, leaving it shiny, smooth and revitalised. Perfect for colour-treated hair, this gentle color-safe formula provides long-lasting moisture and protection.
As lightweight as it gets, this multitasking formula smoothens the hair and rejuvenates it from root to tip—reviving dry, damaged strands. It’s also known to support scalp health, which makes it a smart pick for someone looking for a multifunctional haircare product. Nourishing yet weightless, it works across all hair types for a soft, polished finish.
Lightweight, nourishing, and always on duty, last on the list is the Olaplex No. 9 Bond Protector Nourishing Hair Serum. Whether you're air-drying or heat-styling, the anti-pollution formula works behind the scenes for up to 48 hours to keep your hair fresh, glossy, and manageable. It fights frizz, adds mirror-like shine, and protects your strands from heat tools and city grime. Just one pump, and you’re good to go.
