5 Ways to Refresh Your Hair for Summer

<p>When summer hits, it’s not just your wardrobe that craves a change; your hair does too! During the sunny season, everything feels a little lax, a little more spontaneous, and your look should follow suit. If you’ve been stuck in the same hairstyle for months (even years), or you just want to change up your routine, consider this your sign to take the plunge. A hair refresh can be one of the simplest, most satisfying ways to transform your overall vibe without completely reinventing yourself.</p><p>The beauty of a summer hair reset is that it exists on a spectrum. It can be as low-effort as changing your part or trying a new styling trick that instantly updates your look or maybe you’re ready to go all in with a bold cut or a fresh color. Whatever commitment level you’re in the mood for, we’ve got you covered.</p><p>Below, we list five ways, ranked in level of commitment, to refresh your hair this sunny season so you can be ready for the most memorable summer ever!</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Level 1: Dry Shampoo</strong></div><p>Showering once or (sometimes twice!) a day is a must during the summer season. Unfortunately, washing your hair excessively can be a bit harsh on your scalp and locks. Thankfully, there is a solution for this predicament: dry shampoo. For days that you need your hair clean and cool, we recommend the <strong>BETTERHAIR Dry Shampoo</strong>. One of the co-owners of the brand is celebrity hair stylist, Paul Nebres, so you know that this is expert-approved! Bonus: it gives your hair an insane amount of volume, so you can also use this if you’re looking for that extra body in your hair. Shop <a href="https://www.lazada.com.ph/products/pdp-i5384706800-s32250031454.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a></p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1774950182301BetterHair Dry Shampoo.jpg" style="width:500px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Level 2: Hair Treatment</strong></div><p>Sometimes your regular hair craves a little more TLC, and that’s when you need a little expert intervention! Treat your tresses with one of Benibana Hair Atelier’s most popular hair refreshers, the Japanese Milk Protein Treatment.</p><p>This one-and-done treatment combines a nano spray and frozen iron to give your hair that soft, glossy, and repaired look and feel. This is especially great for damaged or bleached hair, as it’s not just a treatment that’ll look good for the day. You’ll actually have some mileage with this one!</p><p>Benibana’s Japanese Milk Protein Treatment is available at their San Juan, Makati, and Admiral Hotel branches and starts at Php 3,700. Book your salon visit <a href="https://www.instagram.com/benibana.ph/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Level 3: Hair Glossing</strong></div><p>If you’ve never heard of hair glossing, this is your lucky day because your hair will never be the same again! Even Madison Beer, who’s known for her super shiny glass-like locks, says that she gets glossing pretty regularly.</p><p>You can visit a salon to get this done, but you can also DIY it with an at-home gloss job. We recommend the <strong>Kérastase Chroma Absolu Gloss</strong> as it suits all hair and it’s easy to use! With just one wash, you’ll see your hair come to life. Shop <a href="https://www.hairmnl.com/products/kerastase-chroma-absolu-gloss-210ml" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a></p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1774950381801Screen Shot 2026-03-31 at 5.47.56 PM.png" style="width:400px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Level 4: Hair Color</strong></div><p>New hue, who dis? Now we’re at a level that needs some commitment. If you’ve been mulling over a new hair color, this is the time to experiment. Maybe take a cue from Andrea Brilliantes and go blonde. </p><p>If you can’t go to the salon or don’t want the bleach, you can always do an in-home makeover with some fun colors! Try <strong>Garnier</strong>’s <a href="https://www.watsons.com.ph/garnier-garnier-color-naturals-radiant-blueberry/p/BP_50054057" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">radiant blueberry</a> or a <a href="https://www.watsons.com.ph/garnier-garnier-color-naturals-7.65-raspberry-red/p/BP_50054055" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">raspberry red</a>.</p><div><br/><br/><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:600px;display:block" width="600"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1774950560459Blythe.jpg" style="width:600px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="600"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via @blythe</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Level 5: Chopped Locks</strong></div><p>If you’ve been going back and forth with going for the big chop, let this sweltering hot season be your most convincing pro to cutting your hair short. And who else to take inspiration from than the ultimate trend setter, Anne Curtis? Anne looks great with her long locks, but there’s just something about her edgy look that you can’t look away from her.</p><p>Benibana’s expert hairstylist, Kean recommends asking your hairstylist these key questions before getting any major haircut: Will it fit my facial structure? How do I maintain it? Lastly, what products do I need to style it?</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:600px;display:block" width="600"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1774950821958Anne Curtis.jpg" style="width:600px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="600"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via @annecurtissmith</span></span></span></div>
