Should I Wash My Hair More Often in Summer?

Ah, summer - sunshine, ice cream, beach days… and yes, sweat, sunscreen residue and a little extra city dust. It’s no wonder so many of us this our hair feels dirtier faster this time of year. But before you start washing your hair every single day, let’s talk about balance.

It's All About Balance

Over-washing can strip away your natural oils, leaving your scalp feeling tight and your ends dry. And here’s the twist - when your scalp feels dry, it can actually produce more oil to compensate, making you feel like you need to wash again. The trick is using the right shampoo, the right way.

The gentle sulphate-free and silicone-free formulas of the GF Fabulosity range cleanse without robbing your hair of moisture.

• Pink Clay absorbs excess oil while replenishing minerals.
• Acacia Collagen to hydrate and plump while you cleanse.
• Sea Kelp restores lustre and repairs split ends.

How Often

If you’re active or in the pool daily, alternate between your shampoo and a co-wash or conditioner cleanse to maintain hydration. And always rinse with lukewarm water – hot water can dehydrate the cuticle and cause frizz.

So, should you wash more often in summer? Yes – if you do it gently. Think quality over quantity, and your hair will thank you all season long.
