Summer in Canada is the perfect time for outdoor adventures, beach days, and backyard barbecues—but it can also be tough on your hair. Between sun exposure, chlorine, sweat, and humidity, your hair needs a little extra attention to stay healthy and looking sharp.

At Sport Clips Canada, we’ve got your back (and your head) with expert tips to keep men’s, women’s, and kids’ hair fresh, protected, and manageable all season long. Whether you’re searching for “summer haircuts near me” or just want a few haircare tips for hot weather, this guide is for you.

Summer Hair Care Tips for Men

  1. Go Shorter for the Season
    A shorter men’s haircut is easier to maintain and helps you stay cooler. Ask your Sport Clips stylist about a style that complements your face shape while keeping you fresh.
  2. Use a Lightweight Styling Product
    Swap heavy pomades or waxes for lightweight gels or mousses that won’t clog pores or trap heat. Products with UV protection are a bonus!
  3. Wash Smart
    Sweat and sunscreen build up fast—opt for a deep-cleansing shampoo like the Tea Tree Special Shampoo available at Sport Clips to avoid scalp irritation and keep your hair clean.

Summer Hair Tips for Women

  1. Shield from Sun & Heat
    The sun’s UV rays can damage hair just like skin. If you’re spending a lot of time outdoors, use a leave-in conditioner with UV protection, or wear a hat to protect your locks.
  2. Tame the Frizz
    Humidity can cause chaos. Use a sulfate-free, anti-frizz serum or cream to keep flyaways in check. Your Sport Clips stylist can recommend products suited to your hair type.
  3. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate
    Sun, chlorine, and saltwater can strip your hair of moisture. Use a hydrating mask weekly to restore softness and shine.

Summer Haircare for Kids

  1. Keep It Simple
    For kids’ summer haircuts, low-maintenance styles are best. Shorter cuts for boys and manageable lengths for girls make it easier to play without fuss.
  2. Post-Swim Rinse
    Chlorine and saltwater can damage young hair. Always rinse kids’ hair with clean water after swimming and use a gentle clarifying shampoo a few times a week.
  3. Sun Hats Are Heroes
    Protecting kids’ scalps from sunburn is crucial. Lightweight hats or caps are an easy solution—plus they look cute!
