How To Keep Hair Healthy, Glossy & Your Colour Looking Fresh This Summer At Esente Hair Salon In Wimbledon
Summer can be one of the toughest seasons for your hair. Longer days in the sun, swimming, holidays, heat styling and more frequent washing can leave hair feeling dry, rough and faded before autumn even arrives.
The good news is that healthy summer hair is not about doing more. It is about making a few smart changes before the damage happens.
Key Takeaways
- Refresh your hair colour before summer to maintain vibrancy and shine
- Remove dry ends with a healthy trim to keep hair looking fuller
- Protect colour from UV exposure using SPF haircare such as Davines SU
- Support hair health with nourishing in-salon treatments and home masks
- Choose seasonal haircare tailored to your colour, condition and lifestyle
At Esente Hair Salon in Wimbledon, we help clients prepare their hair for summer with expert colour services, healthy trims, tailored treatments and professional homecare from both Davines and KEVIN.MURPHY. Whether you wear bright blondes, rich brunettes, lived-in balayage or natural curls, summer hair should still feel soft, healthy and full of shine.
Refresh Your Hair Colour Before Summer Takes Its Toll
Sunlight, heat, sea water and chlorine can all dull colour faster than you might expect.
A summer colour refresh helps keep your hair looking glossy, healthy and expensive-looking throughout the season. This does not always mean a dramatic change. Sometimes a few face-framing highlights, a soft balayage refresh, a toner, richer gloss or a root touch-up can completely transform how your hair feels.
Summer is also the perfect time to revisit your home colour routine.
For blondes, we love introducing Davines Heart of Glass into your routine. Designed specifically for blonde and highlighted hair, this range helps maintain brightness while supporting the condition of lightened hair so it feels softer and stronger.
For coloured hair of all shades, KEVIN.MURPHY EVERLASTING.COLOUR remains a brilliant option for helping preserve tone, support shine and reduce colour fade between appointments.
Healthy Hair Starts With Removing Split Ends
If your hair feels dry, rough or difficult to style, your ends may be the real problem. Summer can exaggerate existing damage, making split ends appear more noticeable and causing hair to look thinner and frizzier.
A regular maintenance trim helps:
- Remove dry or damaged ends
- Improve shine and movement
- Support stronger-looking lengths
- Help your colour appear fresher
- Make home styling easier
You do not need to lose length to gain healthier hair. Often a small refresh can make your entire hairstyle feel lighter and healthier.
Protect Your Hair Colour With SPF Haircare
Most people protect their skin in summer but forget their hair. UV exposure can lead to colour fading, dryness and increased fragility, especially for blondes, balayage and chemically treated hair. This is where seasonal product swaps make a real difference.
Our team regularly recommends the Davines SU range throughout summer. These lightweight products are designed to support hair exposed to sunshine and help maintain softness and shine without feeling heavy.
Pair this with protective styling, hats during peak sun and avoiding excessive heat where possible. If you are travelling, ask us about creating a holiday haircare routine using travel-sized essentials.
Deeply Nourish Hair With Professional Treatments And Home Masks
Summer hair care should not stop at shampoo and conditioner.
If your hair already feels dry, porous or lacking shine, introducing deeper nourishment can make a noticeable difference. At Esente, our bespoke in-salon treatments are tailored around your hair goals and current condition.
Depending on what your hair needs, we may recommend:
Davines Tailored Treatments
Targeted salon treatments designed to improve hydration, softness, strength and overall hair quality.
Davines Heart of Glass Treatments
Perfect for blondes and highlighted hair that need strength and brightness without heaviness.
KEVIN.MURPHY Conditioning Treatments
Ideal for maintaining healthy colour and improving softness during warmer weather.
At home, adding a weekly intensive mask can help maintain your results for longer and reduce dryness caused by sun and swimming. Our team can recommend the best treatment mask based on your hair type rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
Remove Summer Build-Up Without Stripping Your Hair
Summer often means more product, more SPF, more sweat and more washing, but cleansing too aggressively can leave hair feeling even drier. For occasional deeper cleansing, products such as Davines SOLU Shampoo can help lift away build-up while keeping the hair feeling clean and refreshed.
If swimming is part of your summer plans, pre-wetting your hair before entering the pool can help reduce chlorine absorption.
For clients experiencing heavy holiday build-up, we may also recommend KEVIN.MURPHY MAXI.WASH as part of a balanced routine.
Summer Hair Care Is Easier When You Start Early
Healthy summer hair doesn't happen by accident, it happens by appointment.
Refreshing your colour, trimming away damage, protecting against UV exposure and introducing nourishing treatments now can help your hair stay softer, shinier and easier to manage all season.
Whether you are preparing for holidays, events or simply want your hair to feel its best, our Wimbledon team is here to help.
