If summer fun has your hair feeling a little sad, Kel has some KEVIN.MURPHY product recommendations that might be just what you’re looking for. Here’s a breakdown of their go-tos for common summertime hair issues.


Heat Damage
My number one pick for preventing heat damage is EVERLASTING.COLOUR LEAVE-IN, because it protects your hair from damage caused by heat styling as well as the sun (both UVA and UVB rays) while repairing and strengthening. Because you can just spray it on wet hair and then either air-dry or blow-dry it in, it’s a very easy way to provide your hair with protection. If you’re big on blow-drying or other heat-styling, HEATED.DEFENSE is also a great option since it provides protection up to 450°F.

If your hair already has some heat damage, I would recommend either LEAVE-IN.REPAIR for repairing and nourishing or HYDRATE-ME.MASQUE for repairing and hydrating.

Frizz
My top choice is SMOOTH.AGAIN, a lightweight and versatile treatment that smooths and refines hair texture—even in humidity—and can be air-dried or blow-dried into the hair.

I also love HYDRATE-ME.MASQUE for a deep treatment every other week and EVER.SMOOTH, though this one is heat-activated, so it does require blow-drying your hair.

Color Fade
Up for a second mention is EVERLASTING.COLOUR LEAVE-IN. Strong hair means strong color, and this bond-building treatment locks in color by strengthening and repairing the hair while also protecting from environmental stressors that cause color to fade and adding shine.

To maximize color protection, I’d recommend using it in conjunction with EVERLASTING.COLOUR WASH and RINSE and asking your stylist to add on the in-salon EVERLASTING.COLOUR Treatment during your next color service.

Swimming/Chlorine Damage
If you’re swimming often, I recommend having MAXI.WASH on deck. It’s a gentle detox shampoo that works to remove any impurities, build-up, and chemicals from your hair and scalp, providing a nice refresh.

This is not a KEVIN.MURPHY product, but for really frequent swimmers, I also recommend coming into the salon for a Malibu C Swimmer Treatment at least monthly for a more thorough deep clean. It can easily be added on to a shampoo service (and also most other services) by request.

Talk with your stylist to determine which products will be of most benefit to you and your hair health.
