Summer Hair Care Guide From Cutting Club Salon, Cleethorpes

When summer finally arrives in Cleethorpes and the beaches near Grimsby start calling, most of us think about holidays, sunshine and sea air. But while summer can do wonders for the soul, it can be tough on your hair.

At our family-run boutique salon, it's all about taking the time to understand you. Our expert stylists and colourists don’t rush appointments. Instead, we chat through what you’d love to achieve, what will realistically work with your hair type and texture, and the techniques and trends that can be tailored to suit you perfectly.

So, if you want your hair to stay healthy, shiny and manageable through the warmer months, here’s our complete guide to summer hair care.

Will The Sun Damage My Hair?

We all know the importance of protecting our skin, but your hair needs protection too. UV rays can weaken the hair shaft, fade colour and leave hair feeling dry and rough.

*Wear a hat whenever possible — wide brim, cap or scarf, anything that creates a barrier.
*Use hair products containing SPF or UV filters.
*Avoid prolonged direct sun exposure when your hair is freshly coloured.

If you’ve invested in a beautiful colour, protecting it from the sun helps keep it looking glossy and vibrant for longer.

Hydration is your hair's best friend! Heat and humidity pull moisture from the hair, especially if your hair is coloured or naturally textured. This is where nourishing treatments that keep hair shiny and healthy become essential. Adding deep conditioning treatments into your routine helps restore moisture, smooth the cuticle and keep your hair feeling soft and manageable.

Ideally you should ensure you do the following:

*Apply weekly deep conditioning masks
*Invest in a professional leave-in conditioner and lightweight oil to keep your strands strong

Your stylist can recommend the best options based on your hair type and lifestyle.

How Can I Protect My Hair When Swimming?

A dip in the sea or pool is one of summer’s greatest joys. Unfortunately, both chlorine and salt water can cause dryness, tangling and colour fade.

Before you swim:
*Wet your hair with clean water first. Hair acts like a sponge, if it’s already full of fresh water, it absorbs less chlorine or salt.
*Apply a conditioning spray or leave-in conditioner to fill the hair cuticle and create a protective barrier.
*If possible, wear a swim cap.

After you swim
*Rinse hair as soon as you can with fresh water.
*Avoid shampooing immediately every single time — over-washing can increase dryness.
*Use a gentle, hydrating shampoo when it is wash day.

These simple steps help reduce long-term damage and keep your hair feeling soft and manageable throughout summer.

Thinking About a Summer Colour Refresh?

Hot weather and sun exposure can make split ends appear faster, which is why regular haircuts are one of the simplest ways to keep your hair looking fresh and healthy throughout the summer months. A trim doesn’t mean losing length, it simply removes damaged ends so hair grows stronger, looks smoother and feels easier to style.

Summer is also the perfect time for a colour refresh. Whether you’re dreaming of a sun-kissed balayage, a subtle root touch-up or simply want your shade looking glossy before a getaway, a personalised consultation is the best place to start. Our team will chat through your lifestyle, maintenance preferences, skin tone and natural hair colour, along with the techniques that will work beautifully with your hair texture. The result is colour that looks natural, suits you perfectly and grows out gracefully.
