Whether you’re spending summer in Florida or heading on a tropical getaway, these summer hair protection tips will help keep your hair smooth, vibrant, and healthy—no matter how high the humidity climbs.

Between sunshine, saltwater, chlorine, and heat, your hair goes through a lot this time of year. At Shear Art Salon, we’re here to help you beat frizz, restore moisture, and protect your color with expert treatments and professional take-home care.

Why Summer Challenges Your Hair

Humidity often causes the hair’s outer layer to swell and become frizzy, especially in warm, moisture-rich climates. For many, holding a style or keeping hair smooth during the summer months becomes nearly impossible without the right protection.

Sun exposure also contributes to color fading, dullness, and a dry texture. If your hair is color-treated, the summer sun can lead to brassy tones or noticeable fading.

Saltwater and chlorine are other major culprits, as they strip natural oils and weaken hair, leading to roughness and breakage.

Salon Treatments That Fight Frizz and Rehydrate

At Shear Art, we offer several professional services specifically designed to address the most common summer hair concerns.

Keratin Smoothing Treatments

Offered in both full and express versions, our keratin treatments help reduce frizz and make styling easier. These treatments seal the cuticle to form a humidity-resistant barrier, making them a popular choice for managing hair in hot, humid weather.

Moisturizing Conditioning Treatments

For dry, sun-damaged, or chemically processed hair, our deep conditioning services restore essential moisture, improve manageability, and leave your hair feeling noticeably softer and smoother.

Headspa Treatments in Tampa

A healthy scalp is the foundation for healthy hair. Our Headspa service deeply cleanses and hydrates, removing buildup from sunscreen, sweat, and styling products. This soothing treatment supports overall hair wellness—especially after weeks of sun and water exposure.
