Hot Hair Days: How to Keep Your Hair Healthy in a Heatwave

Hot Hair Days: How to Keep Your Hair Healthy in a Heatwave

When the sun beams in the UK, so does the havoc it can wreak on your hair. UV rays, dry heat, chlorine, and humidity can leave strands brittle, colour faded, and curls frizzy especially if you’ve invested in balayage, hair extensions, or Redken colour.

At Foundlove Hitchin’s leading salon our colour experts are here to help you keep your hair looking and feeling amazing all summer long. Here’s how to protect your locks during a heatwave (without hiding under a hat all month).


 1. Shield Every Strand

  • Always mist on a UV-protectant leave-in spray before you step outside. It creates an invisible barrier that protects your colour, keeps curls hydrated, and shields your scalp.

  • Pop on a wide-brimmed hat or silk scarf between 11am–3pm to minimise direct exposure your Redken colour will thank you.

 2. Hydrate Like a Pro

Heat strips hair of moisture fast, especially if it’s already been lightened or chemically treated.

  • At home: apply Redken Acidic Bonding Treatment once a week through mids and ends.

  • In salon: book our Moisture Mask Ritual a luxurious deep-conditioning treatment using spa steam to infuse intense moisture directly into the hair’s cortex.

3. Protect Your Colour & Curls

  • Curly hair: Apply a silicone-free serum to damp strands to lock in hydration and reduce frizz.

  • Blondes & balayage: Book a Gloss Toner every 4 weeks to neutralise brass, restore tone, and add shine. You’ll find it on our refresh service menu ideal for mid-season maintenance.

4. Style Smart on Muggy Days

Opt for loose, low-effort styles that protect your hair and look effortlessly chic:

  • A soft plait or silk-scrunchie top knot will keep your neck cool without causing breakage.

  • Use a dab of Redken Dry Texture Paste for grip and hold perfect for that lived-in, “Hitchin market” finish.
