As summer arrives, we’re all about sunshine, iced lattes, and that effortless, healthy hair glow. But before you dive headfirst into beach days and party nights, let’s make sure your hair is summer ready too.

Sun, heat and humidity can take a toll on your hair causing colour fade, dryness, and frizz . Don’t worry though, we’ve got you. Whether you’re blonde, brunette or somewhere in between, here’s how to prep and protect your hair this summer with a little help from Davines and the team at The Dumb Brunette.

Start with a Detox

Winter product build-up? Goodbye.
The Davines SOLU Clarifying Shampoo is our go to to deeply cleanse your scalp and reset your hair without stripping it dry. It’s the perfect starting point to give your hair a fresh, clean canvas before your summer colour or treatment.

In the salon: Ask your stylist about a Davines detox ritual as an add on to your appointment. It’s a game changer.

Refresh Your Colour

Summer light brings out all the tones in your hair so why not make them pop?

UV + Heat Protection

Your skin isn’t the only thing that needs sun protection.

We love the Davines SU Hair Milk, which shields your hair from UV rays, heat styling, and keeps that colour vibrant for longer. It smells like summer too.

Get a Summer Trim

Let’s be real sun, chlorine, and heat can turn split ends savage. A quick trim can make all the difference.

Even if you’re growing your hair, a fresh shape or soft layers can make your style feel lighter, bouncier, and healthier. Plus, it’s the easiest way to revive dull ends.
