Weeks of chlorine, direct sun, humidity, and office AC can wreak havoc on even the healthiest of strands. And although we stress caution when it comes to seasonal hair offenders, we also recognize the value of a summer well spent. So, how to embrace summer's carefree spirit while rehabing strands by Labor Day? With a foolproof hair care arsenal that hits the sweet spot between hardworking and low-maintenance. After all, you have better things to do with your summer Fridays than spend an afternoon at the salon.
And so: we've assembled must-haves that have been thoroughly vetted by our committee courtesy of the VIOLET CODE. This means you can allocate more time to kicking back at the beach (not worrying about a halo of frizz) and that you don't have to trouble with hot tools (because that's masochism in a heatwave?). One last thing: it's worth noting that each of these products can be employed year-round to keep good hair going long after summer's end.
Loaded with goji berry extract and musk rose oil, this antioxidant-rich luxury shampoo shields the innermost layers of hair from external stressors and protects color from oxidation. Consider it your go-to when summer vacation cuts into quality time with your hair colorist.

The turban dries hair 50 percent faster than a regular cotton towel, helps maintain strong hair, reduces frizz, and increases shine. In other words, take it to the pool, the beach, or wherever you happen to be rinsing off.

Slip’s scrunchies offers your hair the same protective benefits of sleeping on their silk pillowcases, plus it looks ten times better than an elastic band on your wrist.
Shop nowIf you’re hair is dull, brittle or brassy—this is your lifeline. Infused with cupuacu oil for long-lasting hydration, and manketti oil to regenerate hair, the deep conditioning treatment repairs hair and leaves behind an immediate softness and shine for easy styling.

Thankfully you can get the guru’s signature style in a can. A spritz of the barely-there formula adds a long-lasting, naturally tousled effect.
Shop nowBecause humidity is bound to happen, we suggest keeping this conditioning cream on standby. Not only does it lock out moisture when hair gets temperamental, but it smoothes out texture, adds shine, and delivers a shot of vitality with vitamin-rich pomelo fruit.
Shop nowYes, you need fancy sunscreen for your hair. This version from French hair care brand Leonor Greyl shields locks with a UVA/UVB protection while enhancing their overall appearance—think more lustrous, smooth, super-sleek strands—with jojoba oil and shea butter. To top it all off, there’s beeswax for styling power.
Shop nowLeave it to Kim Kardashian West's hair stylist to bottle up perfectly-tousled and touchable beach wave texture. The spray is infused with rice protein instead of salt, so you get definition without drying out locks. And because the volumizing leave-in formula works on dry or wet strands, you can skip heat styling altogether.
