How to care for your hair after summer

Summer will slowly start to come to an end and soon enough we will have to adapt our hair care routine. During this time of year, priority must be given to restructuring and nourishing our lengths who were most damaged during the hot summer weather. During the end of summer, multiple salons are flooded with damage control appointments. To help yourself and your customers, make sure to gear yourself up with the best product and routine for the job. 

To answer the specific needs that arise after summer, you will need a quick routine that directly addresses any kind of damages. The most prominent damage you will notice is breakage and this can be caused by many factors. The sun’s UV rays, pollution, salt water, chlorine, humidity, dryness and many more other factors come into play. Thankfully, there are salon kits and resale products at your disposal to help you overcome the overflow of damage control. 

Here are a few things you can add to your services to reduce and repair the hair damage that walks through your salon door.

Set the temperature 

Any kind of heat on brittle and dry hair increases the already existing damages. During your rincing service, make sure to use lukewarm water to not aggravate your client’s hair issues. By doing so, you will minimize the risk of breakage and frizz. You can also use this time to educate your clients about the effects of scalding hot water on the hair follicles and the wonderful effects of lukewarm - cold water on their lengths and scalp. 

Use Products to Address Specific Problems

Damaged hair can be a source of frustration, impacting our confidence and overall appearance. Weak and brittle hair is prone to breakage, which makes lengthening your hair and trendy hairstyles more difficult to achieve.  However, Risana's remarkable formula, enriched with snail slime extract, offers a game-changing solution. This extract is known for its incredible properties in promoting hair health and beauty. By providing essential nutrients and moisture, Risana helps restore the hair’s natural beauty.

Saying goodbye to damages caused by summer temperatures has never been this easy!

After Shampoo Care

Once the hair is thoroughly rinsed, we move on to the chair station. Before even beginning to brush the hair, you must analyze its needs. Always use leave-in conditioners that answer the specific needs of the customer in front of you. Before going on to the next step, make sure to protect the hair from heat by using a heat protector and an anti-humidity spray. Both of these products will work together to shield the hair from heating tools and free radicals that may be encountered during the day. 

Use a Wide Comb

Tangles in the hair, if not approached the right way, can cause significant breakage to the lengths and ends! Especially when wet, hair is usually more fragile and your brushing technique should be adjusted accordingly. We recommend using a wide toothed comb instead of a traditional hairbrush to limit the tugging and friction on wet hair. This is why it is important to have your wide comb at your station. You can easily brush your wet customer’s hair without causing further damage to their hair. But always make sure to put in detangler before brushing, otherwise this whole process will be counterproductive.

Quick Split-Ends Cut

Sometimes, damaged hair simply needs a cut to start fresh. If you are dealing with severe breakage, the only way you can stop the damages from rising up to the roots is by chopping a portion of the hair off. Short hairstyles are making a major comeback anyway, so it can be easy to find a look that suits your clients well! If they are not eager to cut a section of their hair off, you should offer them monthly appointments to cut their split-ends. Cutting the hair, although it may seem pretty intimidating, does wonders for hair that have suffered severe damages. You can start fresh with a new cut and say goodbye to those frizzy and never-ending split ends. 

Offer At-Home Treatments

If you come to the conclusion that your customer should continue the treatment you offered at home, then offer them our resale kits! Resale kits are the perfect way to ensure that your customer sticks to the treatment you gave them and minimizes the risk of further damage at their next appointment. Fortunately, Risana has a resale kit that includes the shampoo and the leave-in conditioner. Although it is not the total salon treatment, it will maintain the health and shine of your customers’ hair at-home inbetween appointments. 

With all that said, do not leave your customers hanging when fall comes around the corner. Most of your clients will need a deep and efficient moisture boost to help restore their hair after their summer festivities. Make sure to gear up with products and routines that are quick and efficient so they are easy to add in your services. The resale kit is perfect to offer to those who necessitate a longer and deeper treatment at home. I mean, it is your work, so of course you want it to look perfect in the long run. So, when your customers walk in for damage control, you will be prepared with the perfect routine and your customers will definitely leave in awe of your hard work!
