Because your hair deserves a holiday from summer stress, too.
Summer isn’t always kind to our hair. Between blazing sun, sweat, humidity, and sudden swims (planned or not), your strands go through a LOT. If your hair has been feeling extra greasy at the scalp and dry at the ends, or if you're spotting more frizz and hair fall than usual—you’re not alone.
At Mintree, we believe your summer should be full of beach days and breezy buns—not bad hair days. That’s why we’re here with a super simple, super effective summer hair care routine using natural shampoo, natural hair conditioner, and clean, gentle formulas that your scalp and strands will absolutely love.
Whether you're heading out for sunny adventures or chilling indoors with the AC on full blast, your hair still needs the right care. Ready to give it some seasonal TLC?
Let’s check it out how…
Why Summer is Tough on Your Hair
Here’s what’s working against your hair in the summer -
-
Sweat and oil build-up on your scalp
-
UV rays that dry out strands and fade hair color
-
Humidity-induced frizz (hello, triangle hair!)
-
Saltwater or chlorine damage from those refreshing swims
-
Tighter hairstyles and hats that tug and trap heat
The result?
Scalp irritation, hair fall, dandruff, and overall lackluster hair.
Not ideal.
But don’t worry, this can all be managed with the right summer hair care routine.
Step 1: Cleanse Gently But Thoroughly
Your scalp sweats more in the summer—so cleansing it properly (without overdoing it) is step one.
What to use -
-
A sulphate free shampoo to cleanse without stripping natural oils
-
A natural shampoo with scalp-calming ingredients like aloe vera, tea tree, or mint
Mintree Recommends: Choose a natural shampoo that’s also an anti dandruff shampoo if you’re noticing flakes or itchiness. It keeps the scalp cool and reduces inflammation, especially if you’re spending time in the sun.
Quick Tip: Avoid washing your hair every day. 2–3 times a week is perfect. On off-days, a gentle rinse or dry shampoo works just fine.
Step 2: Condition, Every Time. No Exceptions.
Skipping conditioner in the summer is like skipping SPF, it just shouldn’t happen. Heat and humidity suck the moisture out of your strands, and you need to restore it.
What to use -
-
A natural hair conditioner that hydrates without weighing your hair down
-
Look for ingredients like shea butter, coconut milk, or keratin
Mintree Tip: Always apply hair conditioner from mid-lengths to ends (never on the scalp), and leave it on for at least 3–5 minutes before rinsing.
Want smoother, more manageable hair that doesn’t frizz up the second you step outside?
Don’t skip this step.
Step 3: Treat & Repair Weekly
Your regular shampoo-conditioner duo keeps your hair clean and soft, but once a week, give your hair a little extra care with a nourishing treatment.
Ideas -
-
DIY hair mask with banana + honey + olive oil
-
Or just go in with your conditioner, wrap your hair in a warm towel, and let it soak in for 15–20 minutes
Suffering from hair fall?
Use the best shampoo for hair fall once a week as a treatment. Follow it up with a cold rinse and a lightweight serum to reduce breakage.
Step 4: Don’t Forget the Scalp
Your scalp is skin, too, and in the summer, it needs just as much attention. If your scalp feels itchy, tight, or you’re seeing dandruff, try a scalp massage with a light oil before shampooing.
-
Use fingertips to massage gently, this boosts blood circulation and promotes hair growth
-
Don’t keep heavy oils on overnight in summer; an hour or two is enough
Mintree ProMove: Use a natural shampoo after oiling to avoid any greasy residue or clogged pores on the scalp.
Step 5: Trim & Style Smart
Summer is the best time to go for that light chop. Trimming split ends not only makes your hair look healthier but also prevents further breakage.

Summer Hair Styling Tips:
-
Ditch the heat tools. Air dry whenever possible.
-
Use loose styles like braids or buns that reduce tangling and friction.
-
Protect your hair from the sun with a scarf, hat, or UV protectant spray.
Bonus: Swap tight elastics for silk scrunchies. They’re gentler and way cuter, too.
Step 6: Rinse Post-Swim or Sweat
Did you know saltwater and chlorine can linger in your hair and dry it out even more? Make sure to rinse with clean water immediately after a swim or intense workout. And avoid washing with hot water, it can strip your scalp even faster in summer.
