There’s nothing quite like an Australian summer—beach days, salty waves, and endless sunshine. But while you’re enjoying the best season of the year, your hair may be under attack from UV rays, chlorine, saltwater and humidity.

Luckily, there’s a simple way to enjoy every sun-drenched moment without sacrificing your strands. Let’s break down how summer affects your hair, and how you can protect it with the right care and Aussie-made products.

☀️ What Summer Really Does to Your Hair

🔥 1. Heat & Humidity = Frizz and Dryness
High humidity causes the hair cuticle to swell and frizz, while intense heat can strip away natural moisture. The result? Puffy, dry, hard-to-manage hair.

🌊 2. Chlorine & Saltwater = Tangled, Weak Hair
Pool chlorine and ocean salt dehydrate the hair and strip it of protective oils, leaving it rough, tangled, and prone to breakage.

🌞 3. UV Rays = Colour Fading & Brittleness
Just like your skin, your hair is sensitive to the sun. UV exposure weakens strands and causes premature colour fading—especially in dyed or lightened hair.

🌿 How to Protect Your Hair This Summer

✨ 1. Use a Heat & UV Protectant Spray

Before you leave the house or style your hair, apply a lightweight protectant spray to shield your strands from heat and UV exposure.

💛 Try This:
G&C Gold Class Heat Protection Spray
Enriched with Hydrolysed Wheat Protein and Pro-Vitamin B5, this spray smooths the hair cuticle, blocks humidity, and defends against UV and heat damage—without weighing your hair down.

💧 2. Hydrate Weekly with a Deep Repair Mask

Summer fun can lead to dry, brittle ends—so it’s important to give your hair a hydration boost once or twice a week.

💛 Try This:
G&C Gold Class Hydrating Repair Mask
Infused with Argan Oil, Elderflower Extract and Hydrolyzed Quinoa, this rich mask deeply nourishes, softens and restores your hair—perfect for post-beach repair or weekly self-care.

✂️ 3. Trim Every 6–8 Weeks

Split ends happen fast in summer. Keep your hair looking fresh and healthy with regular trims and avoid letting damage travel up the shaft.

👒 4. Cover Up When You’re Out in the Sun

A wide-brimmed hat or scarf isn’t just stylish—it helps protect your hair and scalp from UV rays. And if you’re swimming, a swim cap can go a long way to reduce chlorine and saltwater exposure.

💛 Keep It Protected After the Shower Too

Pro Tip:
After swimming or sun exposure, gently detangle your hair with the G&C Detangling Brush to prevent breakage. Then spray a few pumps of G&C Repair Boost on damp hair—it works as a leave-in treatment to hydrate, strengthen, and protect your hair between washes.

☀️ Summer Hair Can Still Be Healthy Hair

Don’t let summer damage take the shine out of your style. With just a few tweaks to your routine and the right Aussie-made products, you can enjoy vibrant, hydrated, frizz-free hair all summer long.
