The Ultimate Summer-to-Autumn Hair Guide: Our Fave Products & Pro Tips
Ahh, summer—beach days, sunshine, and a lot of UV rays trying to fry your hair. Then, just as you get a grip on humidity, autumn rolls in with cooler air and sneaky dryness. So, how do you keep your locks looking fresh, healthy, and gorgeous through the seasonal switch-up?
We've got you. Here’s our go-to lineup of hair saviours that’ll help you combat heat, dryness, and colour fade while keeping your hair in top shape.
1. Heat Protection Is Non-Negotiable
Hot tools? Sun exposure? Both can wreak havoc on your hair. If you love styling (or let’s be honest, live for a good blowout), you need heat protection in your routine.
✨ Our Picks:
De Lorenzo Extinguish—Lightweight but powerful, this spray protects against heat damage while adding shine. It has no crunchy texture, so you won't regret it.
Muk Thermal Protector—This is a must-have for styling addicts. It keeps your strands safe from heat up to 220°C, preventing breakage and dryness.
Pro Tip: Always apply your heat protectant on damp hair before blow-drying, then add a little extra before curling or straightening. Your future self will thank you.
2. Keep That Colour Fresh & Vibrant
Between the summer sun and all that ocean or pool time, your hair colour might be looking a little dull. Protecting your colour is key.
✨ Our Picks:
Muk Colour Lock Shampoo & Conditioner – Consider this duo as SPF for your hair colour. It locks in vibrancy, fights fade, and hydrates your hair strands without weighing them down.
Pro Tip: Rinse your hair with cool water after washing—it helps seal the cuticle and lock in colour. Plus, it wakes you up faster than coffee.
3. Hydration Is the Name of the Game
Sun, salt, chlorine, and wind? They love to suck the moisture out of your hair. If you notice more frizz, tangles, or a straw-like texture, it’s time for deep hydration.
✨ Our Picks:
Muk Deep Shampoo & Conditioner—This ultra-nourishing duo is Perfect for when your hair needs a little extra TLC. It restores moisture and leaves your hair feeling soft, strong, and healthy.
Pro Tip: Swap your regular conditioner for a deep conditioning treatment once a week and leave it in for at least 10 minutes.
4. Stretch Out Wash Days Like a Pro
Washing your hair too often? It’s a one-way ticket to dryness and frizz. Instead, embrace the magic of dry shampoo.
✨ Our Pick:
De Lorenzo Absorb Dry Shampoo—Not all dry shampoos are created equal, but this one? Chef’s Kiss. It refreshes your hair, adds volume, and actually blends in without that powdery residue.
Pro Tip: Apply dry shampoo at night before bed instead of in the morning. It’ll absorb oil while you sleep, so you wake up with fresher, fuller hair.
5. Repair & Strengthen Damaged Hair
If your hair is feeling brittle or over-processed (hello, summer highlights), now’s the time to give it some serious repair work.
✨ Our Pick:
De Lorenzo Equilibrium – A deep treatment that brings hair back to life. Packed with natural ingredients, it hydrates, strengthens, and smooths out dry, damaged hair.
Pro Tip: Apply this treatment to damp hair, wrap it in a warm towel, and let it sit for at least 20 minutes. The heat helps it absorb better—plus, it’s an excuse to sit down and relax for a bit.
K18 Mask – A must-have for blondes dealing with dryness, breakage, or over-processing. It works on a molecular level to actually repair damaged hair (not just mask it). It strengthens, smooths, and restores elasticity in just 4 minutes—no rinse-out needed! Keeps blonde hair looking fresh, healthy, and strong, even after sun and saltwater exposure.
Pro Tip: For the best results, ditch the conditioner and wash your hair one wash every week for six weeks.
