During the Australian Summer
Australia’s summer is all about sun, surf, and salt — but for coloured hair, it can also mean fading, dryness, and damage. At Lotus Hair Salon, we know how precious your colour is. Whether you’ve gone blonde, brunette, or pastel, here are our top Australian-approved tips to protect your coloured hair in the summer heat.
Just like your skin, your hair needs sunscreen too! Choose a UV-protectant spray designed for coloured hair. It acts as a barrier against UV rays that can strip your colour and dry out your strands.
💡 Pro Tip: Apply it before heading outdoors — whether you’re hitting Bondi Beach or just running errands.
The Australian sun can be brutal, leaving your hair dehydrated. Replenish lost moisture with a hydrating hair mask once a week. Look for ingredients like argan oil, coconut oil, or keratin to strengthen and nourish coloured hair.
Chlorine and saltwater are colour killers. After a dip in the pool or ocean, rinse your hair with fresh water immediately. For extra protection, apply a leave-in conditioner before swimming — it helps seal your colour and reduce chemical absorption.
Frequent washing can cause your hair colour to fade faster. Try washing your hair 2–3 times a week using sulphate-free shampoo for coloured hair. On non-wash days, refresh your roots with dry shampoo.
Summer heat and UV exposure can lead to split ends. Schedule a trim every 6–8 weeks at Lotus Hair Salon to keep your hair looking healthy and your colour fresh.
A stylish wide-brimmed hat or scarf doesn’t just complete your summer outfit — it also shields your hair from direct sunlight. Think of it as your hair’s shade on a scorching Aussie afternoon.
Your hair deserves the same care as your skin during the sunny Australian summer. With these simple habits and expert salon treatments, you can maintain your vibrant colour all season long.
Visit Lotus Hair Salon for a professional colour refresh or a deep hydration treatment — and step out with confidence under the Aussie sun ☀️.
