Spring to Summer - How to Transition Your Haircare Routine Like a Pro

BONJOUR, DARLING! Summer is knocking, and it’s bringing along sun-kissed days, breezy nights, poolside gossip, and warmer vibes. While we all want to be glowing goddesses in the summer sun, your hair? It’s currently sending you an SOS. But don't worry! We've got the chic, flirty, and professional guide you need to transition your haircare routine like an absolute boss. Oh, and did we mention our fabulous 30% off sale on treatments? Yep, you’re welcome, Darling!

Understanding Your Hair’s Seasonal Drama

First, your hair has a bit of a love-hate relationship with the change from spring to summer. Spring’s moderate weather can leave it bouncy and happy. But by the time summer rolls in? You’re suddenly dealing with frizz, dryness, chlorine buildup from those pool dips, and UV damage from all that sun worshipping.

The truth? Summer is basically like an ex you have mixed feelings about—but with the right game plan, you’re coming out on top every time.

What Happens to Hair in Spring

Springtime usually gifts us softer, more manageable hair. But here’s the catch: the environmental shift can leave your hair prone to oiliness (hello, humidity!) or scalp dryness (thanks, random breezes). It’s like a prelude to summer with its own quirks.

Summer Hair Concerns

Oh, summer... why you gotta be so extra? Here’s the tea:

  • UV Damage: Prolonged sun exposure weakens hair, fades color, and gives you unintended brassy tones. Breakage galore!
  • Chlorine: Ah, pools. Love them but hate how chlorine sucks every last drop of moisture out of your locks.
  • Frizz Fest: Humidity basically turns your sleek blowout into an uninvited poodle look. Rude.
  • Heat Damage: Weekend BBQs and beach waves mean heat styling overload. Your poor strands are crying.

Transitioning from Spring to Summer Like a Haircare Pro

Let's fine-tune your routine so your hair goes from blah to bliss, shall we?

1. Hydration is EVERYTHING

More heat means more moisture loss, so let's keep your hydration game going strong. Swap your regular conditioner for N4 Hydrating Condition, packed with botanical goodness. Pair it with a lightweight oil to keep your hair’s frizz in check without weighing it down.

Pro Tip: Try the Number 4 Fluoro5 Elixer Restore & Repair Oil. It hydrates, protects, and adds megawatt shine. Your hair will thank you and so will your credit card as we've popped this little beauty into our sale.

2. Protect Yourself, Darling!

Just like sunscreen is non-negotiable for your skin, UV protectant sprays are a must for your hair. Better yet? Donning a cute wide-brimmed hat is both practical and trés chic. Need UV backup? Number 4 Super Comb Prep & Protect is your ultimate haircare essential. This multitasking conditioning spray strengthens your strands while providing powerful protection against heat styling. It also shields your hair from environmental damage, keeping it safe from the harmful effects of sunlight.

3. Lay Off the Heat

We’re entering the perfect season to channel your natural hair texture like a boss. Ditch the curling wand for some beachy waves or loose braids. When you do style, spray a heat protectant on, as if your life (not just your strands) depends on it. Once again, Super Comb Prep & Protect is your go-to for spring to summer and a must-have for your beach bag.

4. Clarify the Chlorine Away

Planning on being a poolside goddess? Chlorine buildup has no place here. Clarifying shampoos are a must for removing all the residue and gunk that chlorine leaves behind.

We recommend the Number 4 Clarifying Shampoo (currently on sale for 30% off!). It’s sulfate—and paraben-free, and it detoxes your hair like a spa day in a bottle. Add it to your routine once a week for a refresh. It's available in three sizes, from our jumbo 25OZ to our MINI 1.5OZ, so there are no excuses not to have it on hand for your post-pool hair care routine.

But that’s not all. This shampoo also helps remove any product buildup that may be weighing down your locks. So, if you love to rock a beachy waves look or use a lot of styling products, this clarifying shampoo is perfect for you. Plus, the light white freesia, golden amber, and warm musk scent will transport you to a tropical paradise while washing away all those impurities.

5. Nourish with Love

Think of your hair like a thirsty houseplant during the summer. It needs extra care to thrive. Enter the Number 4 Reconstructing Hair Masque. This deep-conditioning queen revives and strengthens stressed-out strands while making them silky-smooth. Oh, and it’s vegan too. Need we say more?

Layer this goodness with the Fluoro5 Elixer Restore & Repair Oil for the ultimate repair-and-shine power duo. Did we mention they’re both 30% off in our Treatments Sale?

6. Simplify Your Summer Styling

Summer's all about effortless looks, so stock up on hair-friendly elastics, silk scrunchies, and clips to rock those chic, undone styles. Who has time for intricate styling when there are iced coffees and Aperol spritzes to sip on?

Extra Sassy Summer Hair Tips You Need

If you’re still hungry for more, here’s the extra scoop:

  • Eat Your Way to Fabulous Hair: Snack on omega-3-rich foods like salmon or walnuts. Your hair will gleam with gratitude.
  • Snip Snip Love: Split ends aren’t cute, so prioritize regular trims.
