Summer in London brings high temperatures, increased humidity, and a social calendar packed with rooftop events, outdoor brunches, and after-work socials. For the modern professional navigating the city, maintaining a sharp, stylish haircut throughout the hot months can be challenging. That’s where versatile, heat-friendly haircuts come into play. At Pall Mall Barbers London, your barber understands how to craft a look that keeps you looking polished without the hassle of constant maintenance.
How to Maintain a Fade Haircut in Summer
A well-executed fade is the epitome of sharp, clean style, but when the summer heat kicks in, maintaining that crisp, defined look requires a bit of extra attention. From keeping your scalp fresh to ensuring your styling products are lightweight, here’s a comprehensive guide to keeping your fade looking impeccable, no matter how high the temperatures rise:
- Keep It Light: Heavy pomades and waxes can quickly turn into a greasy mess under the summer sun. Instead, opt for products like Flexible Shine, which delivers a lightweight hold with a natural finish. This ensures your fade remains structured without the weight or build-up that can occur with heavier products. For a matte, more textured finish, consider using Pliable Clay, which adds definition without shine.
- Stay Cool and Fresh: Excessive sweating can not only disrupt the look of your fade but can also lead to scalp irritation and buildup. Combat this by incorporating a refreshing product like Tea Tree Shampoo into your routine. Its cooling formula soothes the scalp, removes excess oil, and keeps your fade looking fresh. Follow up with Tea Tree Conditioner to maintain a soft, healthy scalp.
- Keep It Clean: The secret to maintaining a fade’s clean lines lies in regular touch-ups. Every 2-3 weeks, book a session with your barber to keep the fade tight, defined, and seamlessly blended. During each visit, your barber can also assess the condition of your hair and recommend products that suit your specific hair type and summer lifestyle.
- Protect from Sun Damage: Prolonged sun exposure can dry out the hair and scalp, making your hair appear dull and lifeless. Shield your hair from the sun by using products that contain natural moisturizers, such as the Argan Enriched Shampoo, which hydrates while cleansing. Additionally, consider wearing a hat when spending extended time outdoors to prevent UV damage.
- Add Texture: A casual, textured look can give your fade a more relaxed, effortless vibe while maintaining structure. Apply Sea Salt Spray to damp hair to add volume, texture, and a natural, beachy finish. This is ideal for those weekend rooftop gatherings or casual after-work socials, where a polished yet laid-back look is desired.
By implementing these simple yet effective steps, you can ensure that your fade remains sharp, structured, and effortlessly stylish throughout the hottest months of the year. And with the right products and regular upkeep, your barber can help you keep that fade looking fresh from morning meetings to evening events.
