The Ultimate Guide to Summer Hair Care

Summer is prime time for salty ocean dips, poolside lounging, and long days in the sun. But while our skin often gets extra attention, our hair easily gets left behind. Sun, wind, chlorine, and saltwater all impact the hair quality, frequently causing damage that leaves your strands dry and frizzy.

To maintain healthy, vibrant tresses throughout the summer, a mindful routine is essential—one where hydrating care is paired with protective products that strengthen the hair and help it resist external stressors. Discover our guide on how to care for your locks this summer.


How to protect your hair in the summer?
A thoughtful summer hair care routine begins in the shower. Wash and hydrate your locks with products from the Björn Axén Moisture Series to help your tresses retain their softness and shine, even on the hottest days.

For best results, complement your routine with a hair mask a few times a week. Top tip: twist your hair into a bun and let the mask sit for a while, preferably in a warm environment. Heat boosts the efficacy of the treatment, so applying your hair mask in the sauna, for example, will maximize the nourishing benefits.

If you spend a lot of time by the sea or pool, Björn Axén Repair Bonding Serum is an excellent addition to your regimen.

This nourishing leave-in treatment repairs damaged bonds within the hair structure and protects against future breakage. It's the perfect post-sun and swim recovery!

Three summer tips for healthier tresses

1. Use UV protection Just like your skin, your hair is negatively affected by the sun's harsh rays. With UV protection, you preserve moisture, strength, and color vibrancy. Björn Axén Heat Styling Protection features built-in UV filters. Spray it through your lengths and onto the scalp for optimal effect—and complement with a hat or scarf during intense sunshine.

2. Detangle hair when wet After a swim in the ocean or pool, your strands are extra vulnerable. Gently detangle your hair in the shower to minimize tangles, breakage, and frizz. Use the Björn Axén Wet Hair Brush, which features soft bristles designed to gently detangle wet hair without damage.

3. Apply products to damp hair
Leave-in treatments and serums work best when applied to towel-dried hair. This seals in moisture, providing the perfect foundation for your locks to stay smooth and soft all day long.

How do you get rid of frizzy hair?

Frizz usually occurs when the hair lacks moisture. Therefore, hydrating products are your best solution. The Björn Axén Anti-Frizz Series helps you regain control without weighing down your strands. Björn Axén Anti Frizz Miracle Spray, a leave-in formula, suits all hair types and helps smooth the hair cuticle, enhance shine, and prevent frizz. It also shields your tresses against potential damage from heat styling tools up to 220 °C.
