Winter isn’t the best time for hair. Unfortunately, your tresses spend most of the colder months hibernating, up in a bun or tucked into a beanie. Though we’ll always love cosy hats and topknots, summer hair is a whole new, infinitely more exciting ballgame – one that can include beachy waves, sun-kissed locks, fancy fringes and maybe even a festive colour for the silly season. And when you’re spending heaps of time in nature, at the park or ocean, it’s nice and fitting to use hair products that are nature-inspired and free of chemicals you don’t like. 

Happily, the tress-obsessed folks at Hairhouse have curated a handy-dandy selection of natural products for your summer locks. Some are made from natural ingredients, such as coconut oil and sunflower seed oil, and all of these goodies are sulphate and paraben-free. The packaging is also very pleasing to the eyes. 

Are you looking to stock your toiletry cabinet with nifty products for your summer hair? Here’s our top picks from Hairhouse’s collection of all-natural shampoos, conditioners and treatments.

evo’s Salty Dog Sea Salt Spray: For the days when you can’t make it to the beach (or prefer to lounge comfortably under the aircon), the salty dog sea spray by evo will help you achieve the next best thing – beachy hair. The spray adds texture to hair, and is also vegan and cruelty-free. Yippee! 

Kevin Murphy’s Shimmer Me Blonde: What’s the point of spending all that moolah on rad summer highlights if they start to look dull and brassy? This radiance-boosting spray helps blonde locks look their best. It’s also made from Australian fruit extracts, including finger lime and kakadu plum. 

Make's Curly Cream: Calling all curly-haired babes: make’s curl cream is 100 per cent vegan and designed to make your lovely tousled tresses look flippin’ spectacular, without giving you that crunchy post-styling feel. 

NAK's Replends Moisture Mask: As much as we love frolicking around the beach or the pool, all that sunshine and water can leave your hair feeling a little parched and tangled. Made from baobab seed and elderflower extracts, this mask conditions hair and protects it from UV rays.
