We may have received press samples of some items featured for summer hair. Opinions are our own.
Now that Summer is in full force, your hair may be suffering. With the sun, heat, chlorine, ocean water, and all the various styling we do, your hair could probably use some TLC. Here are a few of the items that are going to make you love your summer hair.
Items for Perfect Summer Hair
Organix Sun Kissed Blonde Hair Care
The new Organix Sun Kissed Blonde line says that it will make your highlights shimmer, and even help to lighten your locks. Consisting of shampoo, conditioner, and a spray on citrus oil mist. I’ve been using this line and I love it. It leaves my hair clean and manageable, doesn’t weigh down my curls, and I think my hair looks lighter.
Head Scarves
Head scarves are one of the huge trends for Summer 2014. Personally, I love a good headwrap or head scarf, and I always have. It keeps your hair off your face, looks cute, and adds quite a bit of style This Summer Stripe scarf from Chadwick’s is a perfect scarf to add to your repertoire. Perfect for your bad summer hair days, too.
WEN Cleansing Conditioner
The shampoo free hair washing movement seems to be gaining steam in the last year or so. That’s not to say that you don’t need to wash your hair with anything, you just use a different product. WEN Cleansing Conditioner is one of the fab products that allows you to go shampoo free. Summer Honey Peach is one of the newest scents, and just screams summer. Available at QVC.
Super Cute Headbands
Headbands have been a trend for a few seasons now, and they show no signs of letting up for Summer. These headbands from Remington are right on trend and take your hair from blah to BAM! in one simple step. With looks varying from lace to leather, straight on to braided, there is something for absolutely everyone. Plus, they’re super easy to wear. Total bonus! These can be found at places like Target, Walmart, and other neighborhood stores.
Jeweled Bobby Pins
For those that are growing their hair out *ahem* they always need a little help forcing it into a particular style. Whether it’s keeping your too-long bangs out of the way, sweeping hair over, or forcing it into an updo, we know the need for bobby pins. You don’t have to deal with just plain ol’ bobbies, though. Nope. Add a couple of embellished bobby pins, like these from Sweet Chiquita, to your do for some hair jewelry. Looking for something a little more subtle? Check out this tutorial for making colored bobby pins at home.
What are your Must Have Hair Items for Summer?
I get keratin treatments at the salon, so I can only use certain things in my hair.
These are great tips! Heat, humidity, and the air quality can really wreak havoc on your hair!
I’ve been braiding everyday… I will look into these options to change it up!
I need to try these products. I bought some really cute hippie bands and when I got home and put them on I just thought I looked funny. Nothing like the photos I see of others wearing them. I gave them to my teen instead.
Oh I totally want to try Organix Sun Kissed Blonde. Sun kissed hair is the best thing about summer hair.
What better way to glam up your outfit than to have perfect hair. Thanks for the tips.
Great tips! I love using headbands to change up my look and save my hair on high humidity days.
I really want to get some of those cute headbands! Love the ones in your pic.
For me, I find Wen leaves my hair feeling greasy and gross. I wish it worked for my super thick mane, but it does not..bummer because it smells good.
I have never tried the Wen Conditioner but I hear that it is fantastic! The jewelled bobby pins are so cute!
I love sunkissed blonde. It makes my hair so shiny and beautiful (if I do say so). I haven’t tried Wen, but I’ve heard it’s amazing.
WEN is a great product. It really makes your hair feel and look great. I love the headbands and pins in this post. They’re super cute.
I’m always using headbands and hair pins in my daughter’s hair. It’s just so much fun to put stuff on her head. =D
def. bobby pins. and a great conditioner. we are in and out of the pool all day every day
My daughter loved Wen for a long time. I haven’t heard of the peach rinse, that sounds lovely!
I actually use wen and I love it, I also use argan oil in my hair. The head scarves is a great idea too. Cute to use in a ponytail too.
I love headscarves for summer too. They’re fashionable and help with my “humidity hair.”
I can’t stand hair in my face, so I appreciate anything that holds it away from me. I need to try a scarf!
I love headbands for summer. They’re cute and keep the hair out of my face.
I have been wanting to try WEN forever!
Headbands!! A must here in the summer!
Black hair ties and headbands…sometimes hats.
LOVE Wen, My cousin bought some for me just wish it wasn’t so pricey. Works great.
I need to try those hair products, my hair is getting really faded by the sun, almost brassy!
I have some Organix hair care products, but I do not have the Sun kissed one. Wen make such great conditioner, and I like the headbands for Summer. It keeps the hair out of my eyes.
Great tips, I love to ahve great looking hair. Summer hair is totally different too!
Super cute! I rock clips like that year round!
I’ll look into these ideas as my teen has long strawberry hair with black streaks but her hair gets easily oily and fly away. Some great tips I’ll share with her.
Hi! These are great tips! I didn’t know about the blonde hair care products. Head bands in the Summer are so much fun. Thank-you for the information!
I have been wanting to try the Wen products. I use Organix but not for blonde hair, they have a coconut oil mist that I just love; I even spray it on my arms for a great smelling moisturizer. I love all these tips
My must have hair item for the summer is a leave-in conditioner. I need the extra conditioning to keep my hair moisturized during the hot summer months. Thank you for sharing this great post, I’m looking forward to trying the Organix Sun Kissed Blonde Hair Care. Oh, I have tried WEN cleansing conditioner and I loved it.
Since my hair started getting curly I have had a terrible time. This year the humidity has been my biggest foe. I never thought about a scarf, I need to practice though.
Thanks to some cancer treatments and other meds my hair has gone crazy curly! And frizzy! I read about and seen Wen on television but have yet to try it (out of my price range) but I’ve got to save up and get some!
