Summer is a season of sunshine, beach outings, and outdoor adventures. However, it can also bring challenges to your hair, such as heat, humidity, and exposure to UV rays, which can lead to dryness, frizz, and damage. At Charles Ifergan, we understand the importance of maintaining smooth, healthy hair all summer long. Our expert stylists offer both in-salon treatments and at-home care options to ensure your hair looks its best, no matter the weather.
In-Salon Treatments for Summer Hair
Brazilian Blowout
The Brazilian Blowout is a popular smoothing treatment that creates a protective protein layer around the hair shaft, eliminating frizz and smoothing the cuticle for up to 12 weeks. This treatment is customizable to your hair type and desired level of smoothness. It’s perfect for summer as it helps your hair withstand humidity while maintaining a sleek and polished look.
Cezanne Smoothing Treatment
The Cezanne Classic Smoothing Treatment is a formaldehyde-free option that works on all hair types, including straight, wavy, textured, and curly hair. It smooths frizz and unruly hair without the use of harsh chemicals, making it a safer choice for maintaining healthy hair. With no downtime required, you can enjoy versatile styling options and frizz-free hair all summer long.
Japanese Straightening
For those looking for a more permanent solution to frizz and curl, Japanese Straightening is an innovative hair straightening system that transforms frizzy, curly, and wavy hair into straight, manageable locks. This treatment not only improves the hair’s feel, softness, and shine but also enhances its overall health, making it easier to style and maintain in the summer heat.
At-Home Care for Summer Hair
Hydrating Hair Masks
Hydration is key to maintaining healthy hair in the summer. Incorporate a hydrating hair mask into your weekly routine to replenish moisture lost due to sun exposure and heat. Look for masks with ingredients like argan oil, coconut oil, and shea butter, which provide deep conditioning and repair damage.

Leave-In Conditioners
Leave-in conditioners are essential for protecting your hair from the elements. They add an extra layer of moisture and protection, helping to prevent dryness and frizz. Opt for a leave-in conditioner with UV protection to shield your hair from harmful sun rays.

Heat Protectants
If you frequently use heat styling tools, a heat protectant spray is a must. These products create a barrier between your hair and the heat, reducing the risk of damage. Apply a heat protectant before blow-drying, curling, or straightening to keep your hair smooth and healthy.
Gentle Hair Care Routine
Adopt a gentle hair care routine to minimize damage and breakage. Use a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner to maintain your hair’s natural oils. Avoid washing your hair too frequently, as this can strip away essential moisture. When drying your hair, gently pat it with a microfiber towel instead of rubbing vigorously.
Regular Trims
Regular trims are essential for maintaining healthy hair. They help remove split ends and prevent further damage. Schedule a trim every 6-8 weeks to keep your hair looking fresh and healthy throughout the summer.
