Why Your Hair Will Need Extra Care After Summer

Summer is a beautiful season for making memories, but it can be brutal on your hair, especially if you have curls. Between long hours in the sun, dips in the pool, salty beach air, and humidity that never seems to let up, your strands take a hit. By the time fall arrives, many curls are left feeling dry, brittle, frizzy, or weighed down by buildup.

That’s why early fall is the perfect time to hit the reset button. Your curls deserve professional care that restores their bounce, replenishes lost hydration, and helps you transition into the new season with healthier texture. At our salon, we’ve refreshed and reintroduced two essential curl services: Curl Rehab + Style and the Curl Education Session. Each one is designed to revive your natural texture while giving you the confidence and knowledge to care for your curls long after you leave the chair.

How Summer Stress Shows Up in Curls

Curls naturally need more TLC than straight hair because their spiral shape makes it harder for natural oils to coat the entire strand. Add in summer fun, and the challenges multiply:

• Sun weakens the cuticle, leading to dryness and color fade.
• Chlorine + Saltwater strip away moisture, cause buildup, and leave hair rough.
• Humidity disrupts curl patterns, causing frizz and a lack of shine.

If your curls feel brittle, frizz more easily, or have lost their shape, it’s a clear sign they need professional rehab.

Curl Rehab + Style - The Ultimate Reset for Your Texture

Think of Curl Rehab + Style (formally known as the New Curl Session Styling & Luxe Treatment) as your curls’ seasonal reboot. This service is ideal for new clients or anyone who hasn’t had a curl appointment in 16 weeks or more.

During this session, your stylist will:

• Begin with a personalized consultation to understand your curl history and current challenges.
• Perform a scalp detox to remove buildup and create a clean foundation.
• Treat your hair with a deep steam hydration session to drench your curls in lasting moisture.
• Finish with a defined Wash-n-Go styling, leaving your texture looking refreshed and full of life.

The result? Curls that feel lighter, softer, and more defined—without the need for a haircut. It’s the perfect way to shake off summer damage and step into fall with renewed confidence.

Curl Education Session - Learn to Care for Your Curls at Home

If Curl Rehab + Style is about hitting reset, the Curl Education Session is about setting you up for long-term success. This service is also ideal for new clients or returning ones after 16+ weeks, but it goes beyond in-salon styling.

Here’s what to expect:

• A thorough curl consultation to get to know your hair’s unique needs.
• Scalp detox and deep steam hydration, ensuring your curls are fully refreshed.
• A professional Wash-n-Go styling that shows you what your curls can truly do.
• Most importantly: hands-on education. You’ll learn styling techniques, product usage, and maintenance tips tailored to your curl type so you can recreate results at home.

This session isn’t just about walking out with beautiful hair, it’s about walking out with confidence. You’ll understand how to care for your curls daily, what products support your goals, and how to preserve your results between visits.

At-Home Tips to Keep Your Curls Healthy This Fall

Professional services set the foundation, but what you do at home makes the biggest difference. Here are a few tips to help your curls thrive this season:

• Hydrate consistently: Use a rich conditioner or mask weekly to replenish lost moisture. The S.T.R.A.N.D Network -approved favorites include the Amika Hydro Rush Conditioner (for deep, long-lasting hydration) and the Innersense Clarity Conditioner (a gentle, fragrance-free option perfect for sensitive scalps).
  
• Be gentle when cleansing: Avoid sulfates and harsh scrubbing. Massage your scalp lightly and let water do the heavy lifting.
  
• Lock in moisture: Apply leave-ins and creams to damp hair, then seal with lightweight oils if needed.
  
• Preserve overnight: Swap cotton pillowcases for satin or silk to prevent friction and frizz.
  
• Refresh smartly: Use a spray bottle with water and conditioner to revive curls between washes.
  

Small habits like these help extend the results of your Curl Rehab + Style or Curl Education Session.

When to Book Your Next Appointment

Consistency is key when it comes to curl health. That’s why the 16+ week mark is such an important milestone. By then, hydration levels drop, buildup increases, and styling results don’t last as long. Booking one of these reset sessions ensures your curls never fall behind.

New clients: Start with a Hair Assessment before booking Curl Rehab + Style or the Curl Education Session.

Returning clients: You can schedule your reset session directly.
