Summer in Australia means sunshine, salty swims and endless beach days – but let’s be honest, it can also mean a frizz frenzy, dry ends and hair that just won’t behave. Between UV rays, humidity, chlorine, and sweat, your strands go through a lot during the warmer months. Luckily, HASK has your back (and your hair) with a summer survival plan to keep your locks smooth, shiny, and frizz-free all season long.
Let’s dive into why summer stresses out your hair, the ultimate anti-frizz toolkit, and how to keep your strands looking fabulous even on the hottest, stickiest days.
Why summer = hair stress
Summer fun comes with a few hidden challenges for your hair, and understanding what’s causing the chaos is the first step to tackling it:
1. UV exposure – Just like your skin, your hair can get sun-damaged too. Prolonged sun exposure can strip moisture, fade colour, and leave strands feeling dry and brittle.
2. Saltwater and chlorine – As much as we love the beach and pool, saltwater draws moisture out of your hair, making it dehydrated, while chlorine can roughen the cuticle and cause breakage – especially if you colour your hair.
3. Humidity – The real villain behind frizz. Moisture in the air makes the hair shaft swell, disrupting smoothness and leaving you with flyaways and fluffiness you didn’t ask for.
4. Sweat and product buildup – Add sweat from summer heat to your usual styling products and you’ve got a recipe for oily roots, clogged pores, and a scalp that feels… less than fresh.
The good news? With the right products and techniques, you can protect, repair and revive your hair while still enjoying everything summer has to offer.
Your anti-frizz toolkit
When it comes to fighting frizz and damage, having the right arsenal is essential. HASK’s targeted formulas are designed to restore moisture, smooth texture, and protect your hair from the harsh summer elements.
1. Keratin Smooth Series
For heat-styled, frizz-prone, or unruly hair, this range is a summer must-have. Infused with keratin protein, it helps strengthen weakened strands, smooths the cuticle, and tames stubborn flyaways without weighing your hair down.
● Shampoo and Conditioner – Gently cleanse and hydrate while locking in smoothness.
● Deep Conditioner Packets – Perfect for an at-home treatment after a beach day or pool session.
● Hair Oil – Lightweight but powerful, this oil adds shine, combats frizz, and protects against heat damage.
Pro tip: Use the deep conditioner once a week to keep your hair soft and resilient against humidity.
2. Deep Conditioners + Leave-In Sprays
Summer is all about hydration – and HASK’s deep conditioners and 5-in-1 leave-in sprays are your shortcut to silky, frizz-free locks.
● Deep Conditioners – Packed with nourishing oils like coconut, argan, and macadamia, these treatments restore moisture and repair dry, damaged strands.
● 5-in-1 Leave-In Sprays – One spritz delivers five key benefits: detangling, hydration, heat protection, frizz control, and shine enhancement.
For extra-dry or colour-treated hair, reach for the Argan Oil 5-in-1 Leave-In Spray. If your strands are brittle or prone to breakage, the Keratin Smooth 5-in-1 Spray adds strength and smoothness in one easy step.
Style smart this summer
The easiest way to prevent damage and frizz? Work with your hair, not against it. Here are some simple styling tips to help keep your locks healthy:
1. Embrace protective hairstyles – Braids, buns, and ponytails not only keep you cool but also reduce exposure to wind, salt, and sun.
2. Let your hair air-dry – Give your blow-dryer a break and let your hair dry naturally whenever possible to avoid additional heat damage.
3. Use heat protectants – If you must style with hot tools, always spritz a leave-in spray first to shield your strands.
4. Don’t overwash – Washing too frequently can strip natural oils, leading to dryness and frizz. Space out your wash days and refresh between them instead.
Post-beach refresh
After a day of salty swims or sandy adventures, your hair needs a little TLC to bounce back:
Dry shampoo for a quick reset
HASK’s Dry Shampoo collection is perfect for extending the life of your style and keeping your roots fresh. It instantly absorbs oil and adds volume without leaving behind residue.
Tea tree oil for scalp care
Summer sweat and sunscreen can lead to clogged pores and buildup on the scalp. The HASK Tea Tree Oil collection detoxifies, clarifies, and refreshes, helping your scalp (and your hair) feel clean and balanced.
Your simple summer hair routine
Want a fuss-free way to keep frizz at bay and shine on display? Here’s an easy routine to follow:
1. Cleanse gently – Use a repairing or hydrating shampoo and conditioner, depending on your hair type.
2. Treat weekly – Add a deep conditioner or mask to restore moisture lost from UV, salt, and chlorine.
3. Leave-in love – Protect your hair with a 5-in-1 leave-in spray for detangling, shine and frizz control.
4. Style mindfully – opt for air-drying and protective hairstyles wherever possible.
5. Refresh between washes – Use dry shampoo to manage oil and a scalp reset treatment when needed.
