When summer arrives, we all want that sun-kissed glow and to enjoy the warmth of the season. However, it's crucial to acknowledge that summer brings a number of challenges to our hair. The combination of UV rays, wind, heat, saltwater, and chlorine can leave our strands dry, frizzy, brittle, and damaged. By being aware of these potential hazards, you can take action to rescue and maintain your hair throughout the season. With the proper products and techniques, you can keep your hair looking healthy and stylish all summer long.

One important advice for flawless summer hair is to invest in high-quality products. O&M Hair, an Australian brand, knows the consequences the harsh summer conditions can have on hair and replaces harsh chemicals with natural minerals and essential oils. Their products are specially designed to endure the summer heat.

In this blog post, we'll spotlight some of the best O&M products for summer hair care and share guidance for creating protective hairstyles, beachy waves, and more.

The Importance of Hair Care in the Summer

Hot sunshine can unfortunately absorb moisture out of your hair resulting in dehydrated and coarse hair. Chlorine is a chemical known to be used for cleaning pools, this substance can create a chemical reaction in your hair, especially coloured hair can cause discolouration. And lastly, saltwater is incredibly drying for your hair as the salt content draws out moisture, when combined with sun exposure, the heat intensifies the drying effect, damaging your hair even further.

Using products specifically designed to protect and nourish hair is crucial. O&M products made with natural minerals and essential oils are safe for coloured hair and sensitive skin. Free from sulphates, parabens and other harmful chemicals. O&M offers a range of solutions to keep your hair bouncy and healthy in the summer heat.

New O&M Products for Summer Styling

This summer, we’re excited to introduce two new O&M products that will elevate your hair care routine. The O&M PS Spray is a versatile styling spray that provides light hold while hydrating your hair. It includes Camelina Oil, Buriti Oil, Ceramides and Panthenol, all ingredients utilised for maximum Heat Protection, UV Protection, Smoothing, Fighting Frizz, Hydration and Strengthening. This product is ideal for creating beachy waves or polished looks, and it also protects hair from the extreme heat of the sun.

Another grand addition to the collection is the O&M PS Balm, which replaces Project Sukuroi and comes in new packaging while retaining the same excellent formula which includes Cameline Oil, O&M Signature Oil Blend and Hydrolysed Vegetable Protein. The balm effectively smooths frizz and adds moisture without weighing hair down, making it perfect for use on both damp and dry hair.

P.S. Both these product packaging are made from 100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) material!

Protective Hairstyles

Protective hairstyles are a fantastic way to shield hair from damage caused by the sun and humidity. Consider wearing buns, which are trending; they can be both high or low, sleek or messy. Twists are another low-maintenance option; you can choose from various styles, including two-strand twists and flat twists. Braids are another timeless and protective summer hairstyle, offering various styling options such as French and Dutch braids or cornrows and box braids for those with tight curled hair!

Updos and Ponytails

Updos and ponytails are excellent summer styles that can be dressed up or down. Keeping your hair out of your face and neck is ideal for hot weather, as it can become overstimulating. It’s vital to change up your styles frequently to prevent damage and breakage.
