GET YOUR HAIR SUMMER READY

5 May, 2021

Summer is nearly here, so it’s time to start thinking about how you can make your hair looks it’s best! The sun can damage your hair and scalp, just like it can with your skin! So, here’s some advice on how to protect your hair during the summer months…

Why Should You Protect Your Hair from the Sun?

We tend to be out in the sun more; swimming in chlorinated pools & salty sea water and also so we tend to sweat more! All these elements lead to damaged hair. You may be one of the lucky ones who boast healthy hair almost all year round, but due to the high exposure to the sun and humidity, you may find your hair dries out and falls flat… not ideal! Dandruff and split ends are also more common during the summer months, with sweat and dust also contributing to these issues.

Check out our advice below on how you can protect your hair:

Keep Things Tidy

Whatever length you have, the summer weather can make the ends of your hair very dry, which in turn causes split ends – not a great look!

Pop to Jacks for regular trims to avoid unsightly dry/split ends, we would recommend every 3-4 weeks. Why not try a totally new hairstyle whilst you are there? It’s summer after all.

Care For Your Colour

Take extra care during the summer if you have colour-treated hair. You may find that over exposure to the sun can lead to the colour fading and you having very dry hair!

We would recommend if you’re looking to switch up your colour, do it a month or so before the height of summer. Already coloured your hair? Direct sunlight tends to bleach your hair, so do all you can to keep out of the harsh sun!

Use Conditioner

If you find that your hair has already become damaged, dry and brittle, one way to bring your hair back to life is to use a moisturising & nourishing conditioner! Just like the Jacks of London True Gent Hassle Free Conditioner – we find it’s great for conditioning your hair and scalp, helps to strengthen, restore and protect your hair.

Pro Tip:  Use the Hassle Free Conditioner every time you wash your hair (every other day) and for added moisture leave in for up to 5 minutes.

Shampoo With Care

We wouldn’t recommend shampooing your hair every day, as you’ll lose those vital oils your hair and scalp needs. Instead rinse your hair with cold or lukewarm water on the days in between washing.

If you’re looking for a nourishing, lightweight Shampoo, why not try the Jacks of London True Gent Hassle Free Shampoo.

If your hair gets easily greasy and sweaty and you feel the need to shampoo every day, choose a mild shampoo. Focus on cleansing the scalp and not your hair.

Beat The Heat

Avoid using heated tools such as hair straighteners and blow driers, as these will only add distress to your hair. Let your hair air-dry as much as possible, however if you do feel the need to blow dry your hair, keep the setting at a low or medium temperature.

Make sure you remember to use a heat protector on the days you do use heated tools!

Tried An Overnight Hair Treatment?

Another great product to use for summer hair is an overnight treatment. They are really simple to use; all you need to do is apply the treatment from the roots to the ends, wrap your hair in a towel – leave overnight and bam, wake up to lovely soft smooth hair!

Saved By The Dry-Shampoo…

For the days where your hair is both greasy and oily – or you really don’t want to give it a wash, give dry-shampoo a go! It’s great at soaking up excess oil without causing your scalp to produce more! It’ll also save you time in the morning, bonus!

Protect Yourself From The Sun

Wearing a hat or cap is the best way to protect your hair from the sun when you’re out in it. If you’re anything like us and feel you don’t really suit a cap, then give a leave in conditioner with SPF a go…

Going For A Swim?

Swimming in both the pool and sea can strip your hair of its natural, protective oils – making your hair look straw like, dry and damaged. Rinse your hair with water before heading into the pool – Shampoo reacts negatively with chlorine water and causes your hair to dry out! You can apply a small amount of coconut oil to your hair, the oil acts as a barrier between your hair and chlorinated water. When out of the water, make sure you rinse your hair with clean water as the longer the chlorine/salt water is in your hair, the more damage it can cause.

Drop by your nearest store and chat to one of our experienced barbers for advice and tips on how to keep your hair looking great this summer.

As long as you have found a hairdresser that cuts well here - the results are great. Jeanie is excellent but only works a few days each week in which case you may need to book. Usually you can walk in off the street & not have to wait too long to be seen (but then it's luck of the draw). I can't say I've ever had a bad haircut here.

Was in surrey for the weekend and needed a quick haircut. I was happy with the experience, my barber was polite and easy to talk to and most importantly the cut was decent.Will definitely return if i'm in surrey again.

Recently had a fade cut at Jacks of London I was greeted by Ewan who welcomed me in and showed great hospitality during my visit. I had an amazing mid fade by the new barber Megan who was very skilled and attentive. The experience was definitely worth the price difference from regular barbers. Amazing barber shop talented barbers and most importantly an unreal cut.

It’s very easy to book online and the service is always quick and friendly.I have been going to Ewan for quite a while now and I wouldn’t trust anyone else to cut my hair. He always manages to cut my hair the exact way I explain and I’m always satisfied with the outcome. Definitely worth it!

After recently shaving all my hair off (after having rather long curly hair) I knew I needed to find a barber I could attend when I needed it. I went to ‘Jacks’ today and I was very impressed with the service, the gentleman, Ewan, who cut my hair was really nice and did a great job! Would recommend to anyone who’s looking for a cut

I am very particular abut my hair. I walked around Guildford for 30mins looking inside to see which barbers were young and would appear to listen to instructions.I decided to walk in here and explained the problem. The guy who cut my hair was a young chap and was A1 for professionalism and skill. He really took his time and it was a great customer experience.Was worth the £30 that i spent.

I've been seeing Taylor here and he's been cutting my hair for a few months now. Very happy with the service, he's professional and easy to get along with. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a new barber

Have been here at least once a week & always get a unreal trim. Can't believe Taylor is just a trainee, he smashes the skin fade every time. Have started to get beard shape up & always looks fantastic.Always get compliments for days afterwards.They also sell some great products. Suffered from horrible dandruff for years & after mentioning this to the team they recommend a shampoo that pretty much sorted it overnight.Highly recommended. Great service, great people & great trim. Would never go anywhere else!

They have a large sign in their window saying “walk-ins now welcome” I walked in on a morning which didn’t look busy. My son was excited and took his jacket off and as we were about to sit down, not 1, not 2, but THREE staff members who were stood behind the cash register chatting and laughing turned to us and said “do you have an appointment?” I replied that I didn’t. So they then said they were really busy and had bookings so couldn’t cut my sons hair. I then said but your sign says walk-ins welcome ? They laughed it off and said they were busy and the three of them proceeded to chat and laugh. There was only one person getting their hair cut at the time !! It was a humiliating experience for me and my son. Staff are rude and they don’t even honour their own sign - this is false advertisement Jacks of London Wimbledon. Instead it should say “walk-ins NOT welcome because our staff are too busy having a laughing and twiddling their thumbs”. NEVER AGAIN.

Walked in Monday and luckily Lewis was free. He gave me a great hair cut. Very friendly and wicked cut.
Honestly had 3 cuts here and they did me dirtier each time. Kept changing where my neck line was on my beard when, barber had a mood on and rushed through everything. My first cut there was amazing but the lady was leaving to work somewhere else. Not worth premium price imo

Used multiple barbers in the area before I took the plunge and went to Jacks. Booksy App was simple to use and I booked with Kieran who is absolutely brilliant, explains why what you want might not be right for you, or explains that it’s a great idea. Either way , you’re treated well, given a great cut and he explained every single part of the cut to me. Clearly enjoys what he does and the music is always great and varied. Great experience !

I went in for a hair cut and Michelle did an amazing job, but 29 pounds for a 10 mins ( half ) haircut it’s too much.

Wimbledon Branch - I booked an appointment with Skye and she was great - I love the way she cut my hair.I have hard time finding a place to cut my hair - but I will definitely be going back to Jack's

Went in to get a previous bad hair cut fixed and i’m over the moon with the haircut Skye gave me!! She really took her time to understand what went wrong with the last cut before fixing it. As someone who has mixed race hair I’ve always struggled to find someone who can cut it well in London but Skye really went above and beyond - thanks! Highly recommend :)

After months of searching for a barber I stumbled upon Kieran. Since then I've never looked back. Awesome service and delivers every time. Great cut, 100% would recommend!

Had amazing service. I had initially planned to get my hair cut for The Little Princess Trust, but my ex manager gets his hair cut at the Wimbledon branch, so he recommended it to me. One lady, Katie I believe, she spent so much time looking after me. She was so sweet and kind, and made a huge impression on everyone else in the shop. She deserves everything there. Thank you ❤
