As the summer days begin to subtly shift, signaling the approach of fall, your hair might be feeling the lingering effects of sunshine, humidity, and all those refreshing dips in the pool or ocean.

We’ve compiled our top 3 stylist-approved product picks that are absolute must-haves for late summer. These heroes will help protect your color, restore vital moisture, and ensure your hair stays healthy, vibrant, and ready for anything.
Our Top 3 Stylist-Approved Late Summer Hair Essentials:
1. Wella Professionals ColorMotion+ Structure Mask: The Color & Strength Savior
After a season of bright sun exposure, your color might be looking a little faded, and your hair could feel weaker. This intensive mask is a lifesaver!
- Why We Love It for Late Summer: It’s designed to strengthen the hair structure, provide vibrant shine, and protect against free radicals. This means it helps to repair any damage from UV rays and environmental stressors, while also locking in your hard-earned color, keeping it brilliant for longer.
- How to Use: After shampooing, apply generously to clean, damp hair. Leave on for 5-10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Use once a week or as needed for a powerful boost.
2. Sebastian Professional Dark Oil: The Lightweight Shine Enhancer
Often, after summer, hair can feel dry and brittle. You need nourishment, but without the heavy feel. Dark Oil is the perfect solution.
- Why We Love It for Late Summer: This luxurious, lightweight styling oil smooths the cuticle, adds incredible body and shine, and provides nourishment without any greasy residue. It’s perfect for taming any lingering frizz from humidity, adding a healthy luster, and keeping your hair feeling soft and supple.
- How to Use: Apply 1-2 pumps to damp or dry hair, focusing on mid-lengths to ends. Style as usual. A little goes a long way to transform texture and add radiance.
3. Wella Professionals FusionPlex Leave-In Conditioner: Post-Summer Repair & Prep
Whether it’s post-pool dryness or general summer wear-and-tear, a leave-in conditioner is essential for continuous protection and repair.
- Why We Love It for Late Summer: This powerful yet lightweight leave-in provides instant protection against breakage, helping to repair damaged strands and prep your hair for whatever comes next. It works to detangle, smooth, and shield your hair from daily stressors, making it an ideal treatment for continuous recovery from summer activities.
- How to Use: Spray evenly onto clean, damp hair, focusing on areas prone to damage or tangling. Do not rinse. Style as desired. Perfect for daily use.
