Your London Summer Hair & Scalp Recovery Guide
Summer brings longer days, more sun, and (hopefully) a bit of a break, but it can be tough on your hair and scalp. Sun exposure, sea water, heat, humidity and even after work drinks in a pub garden all throw your routine off balance, and suddenly your scalp feels tight, your colour looks faded, and your ends have gone rogue.
That's why we’re offering a new two-step scalp and hair treatment at Haug London Haus to give instant relief for sun-stressed hair, along with some expert advice on how to tweak your haircare routine for the summer months, whether you’re escaping to the Mediterranean or staying city-side in London.
Golden Hour Hair Rescue, £38
Step 1: Soothe and Balance the Scalp
We often talk about frizz, dryness and fading in summer, but less about how vulnerable your scalp is to sun, sweat and pollution. It’s easy to forget this skin is so easily exposed to the sun when it’s out of sight, out of mind, until we suddenly realise it feels sore, tight or even flaky. The first step in our new treatment is the Scalp Clinix Soothing Treatment, ideal for dry, sensitive or post-sun scalps. It’s not a scalp scrub, instead it uses Biotic Technology alongside calming ingredients like Allantoin, Bisabolol and Panthenol to help restore balance to the scalp’s microbiome (aka its natural protective barrier).
Applied to a clean, dry scalp, this step includes a relaxing head massage and leaves your scalp calm, hydrated and deeply comforted after just one session. If you’ve been searching for an effective scalp treatment in London, this one delivers.
Step 2: Strengthen and Smooth
Next, your hair is treated with Fibre Clinix Instant Infusion Concentrate, powered by BONDXTEND Technology. In a single session, it strengthens structure, improves elasticity, and boosts shine. If your hair’s been feeling brittle or unmanageable lately (think chlorine, UV, and dry air), this part of the treatment makes a huge difference.
The Golden Hour Hair Recovery treatment is an add-on to cut, colour or blow dry services in-salon.
Top summer scalp tips
SPF is your first line of defense, so mist your parting with a scalp-safe SPF spray to avoid sunburn and always blend your face sunscreen right up to the hairline, don’t stop at your forehead. The best protection you can give is to wear a hat during peak sun hours. Sunburnt scalps are sore, tight, and can disrupt your overall hair health.
Switch out your regular conditioner for a mask during summer. A richer, more hydrating formula helps combat the moisture loss that comes with swimming, sweating and sun exposure. And always finish with a cool rinse to help smooth the cuticle and lock in moisture. Pairing this with the Fibre Clinix boost leaves your strands softer, stronger and way more manageable, whether you’re air-drying at the beach or blow-drying before dinner in town.
Should You Change Your Hair Routine for Summer?
Absolutely –our hair’s needs change seasonally and a few simple swaps can help maintain your colour, reduce frizz, and protect against long-term damage:
· Use a microfibre towel post wash, it’s more absorbent and more gentle on fragile summer hair. Pat, don’t rub.
· Try rinsing your hair with tap water before swimming. It will saturate the hair shaft so it soaks up less chlorine or salt water.
· Opt for a multi-tasking protection spray like OSiS Super Shield, which not only shields from heat and humidity but also tackles frizz and adds a hit of shine.
What About Hair Colour in the Sun?
UV rays cause oxidation (which is the same process that we use in the salon when bleaching hair). This is why colour tends to fade in the sun, especially darker tones. Instead of fighting it, embrace the glow, warm tones like auburn blonde or copper brunette work beautifully in summer, especially as hair naturally lightens. Just keep a colour pigmented mask on hand to maintain depth and shine between appointments.
Whether your scalp is feeling parched or your ends need a post-holiday rescue, our new two-step hair and scalp treatment is the ideal summer reset. It’s tailored, fast acting, and supports both your hair and scalp from the inside out, exactly what you need to feel refreshed and confident all season long.
