Smooth, Styled & Ready to Travel: Summer Hair Essentials

Summer is all about movement—from weekend getaways and poolside lounging to long flights and spontaneous road trips. But while you're out living your best life, your hair can take a beating. Heat, humidity, chlorine, and packing limitations all put your strands to the test.

That’s why this time of year is perfect for simplifying your routine without sacrificing style. At Salon 955, we believe summer hair should be effortless, manageable, and ready for whatever adventure comes next. Here are two ways to prep your hair for a smooth, stress-free season.

Hit Reset with a Smoothing Treatment

If your hair tends to frizz up the second the temperature rises, a smoothing treatment might be your summer game-changer. Designed to reduce frizz, cut down blow-dry time, and make your hair feel smoother and more manageable, a professional keratin smoothing treatment can carry you through the most humid days with ease.

It’s especially helpful if:

  • You spend a lot of time outdoors or near water

  • You’re traveling and want low-maintenance hair

  • You want to cut back on heat styling

While results vary depending on hair type, most guests enjoy smoother, sleeker strands for up to three months. And unlike older formulas, today’s smoothing treatments are compatible with color-treated hair and designed to maintain movement and softness—not flatten everything out.

Curious if it’s right for you? Ask your stylist at your next visit or schedule a consultation to talk it through.

Pack Smarter with Travel-Sized Favorites

Packing for summer travel can be a challenge—especially when it comes to hair products. You want your go-tos, but full-sized bottles take up valuable space (and don’t always pass TSA regulations).

That’s where travel-size products come in. From shampoo and conditioner to leave-in masks and styling sprays, travel-sized haircare is the perfect way to stay consistent with your routine no matter where you are.

The key? Don’t wait until the night before your trip. Build your travel bag early with:

  • A gentle, sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner

  • A leave-in or lightweight mask for post-sun moisture

  • A frizz-fighting product to combat heat and humidity

If you’re unsure which formulas are best for your hair type or travel plans, stop in and chat with your stylist—we’re happy to help you build a routine that fits your schedule and your suitcase.

Summer is about ease. And with the right preparation, your hair can be, too. Whether you’re chasing the sun or simply enjoying slower days at home, a little bit of planning now means fewer hair struggles later.

Here’s to smoother mornings, better beach days, and hair that keeps up with wherever the season takes you.
