Chlorine, sunlight, and seawater can take a toll on your hair but these expert tips will help you enjoy summer and preserve its beauty.
As summer approaches with its warmer, longer days, it’s the perfect time to revamp your haircare routine. How? “Embrace light, natural formulas like those of Mayraki Professional, designed to effortlessly maintain stunning hairstyles even in high temperatures and high humidity” – suggests Eliza Pineda, in-house hair care expert at Mayraki Professional. Eliza has shared some tips and 2024 summer haircare trends to enjoy the best of the season.
Summer Vegan Haircare Tips #1: Plant-Based Hydration
This summer, focus on hydrating your hair with plant-based ingredients like aloe vera, coconut water, and shea butter. These natural elements deeply moisturise without weighing your hair down.
Mayraki Professional Weightless Essential Oil Nutritive Treatment (available at the regular price of £35.31 and $45.00) offers a powerful blend of lightweight yet deeply nourishing plant-based ingredients and essential oils that rejuvenate and protect your hair. This treatment penetrates deeply to hydrate and repair without leaving any greasy residue. Ideal for contrasting the drying effects of sun exposure, saltwater, and chlorine, it keeps your hair soft, shiny and manageable. Its weightless formula makes it suitable for all hair types, providing essential nutrients while maintaining volume and bounce.
Editor’s note: have you ever left the hair salon with fragrant and soft hair for days? Then wished to prolong that luscious feeling for longer? Mayraki Professional Weightless Essential Oil Nutritive Treatment does exactly that. Imagine a melting formula that deeply nourishes and detangles your hair. Imagine opening the jar and being welcomed in a paradisiacally floral cloud. Its scent will last for days and is as pleasant as the shine your hair will radiate.

Summer Vegan Haircare Tips #2: DIY Hair Masks
Create homemade masks using ingredients like avocado, banana, and coconut oil. These natural masks nourish and repair your hair, providing a spa-like experience at home.
“DIY hair masks are a fantastic way to give your hair the nourishment it needs using simple, natural ingredients. They allow you to tailor treatments specifically to your hair type and condition, ensuring optimal hydration and repair without any harsh chemicals. They can also become a social activity – think girl’s night with snacks, favorite movies, hearty conversations, and some fun haircare!” – shares Eliza.
Summer Vegan Haircare Tips #3: Prioritise Scalp Health
Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp. Vegan treatments featuring tea tree oil, peppermint, and chamomile soothe and balance the scalp, promoting better hair growth and reducing dandruff.
Mayraki Professional Camellia Sinensis Tea Leaf Probiotic Sea Salt Scalp Scrub (available at the regular price of £30.60 and $39) is a fantastic choice for summer hair care. This scalp scrub combines the natural exfoliating power of sea salt with the soothing and antioxidant-rich properties of camellia sinensis tea leaves. It effectively removes buildup, excess oil, and impurities, promoting a healthy scalp environment. Regular use ensures that your hair remains clean, light, and revitalized, even after exposure to summer heat, sweat, and styling products.
Summer Vegan Haircare Tips #4: Head-to-Toe Sun Protection
Protect your hair from the sun with vegan products containing natural UV filters like raspberry seed oil and carrot oil, which shield and nourish your hair.
“Many people focus solely on protecting their skin from the sun, but UV rays can also cause significant damage to your hair. Sun protection for hair is crucial to prevent dryness, color fading, and weakened strands, ensuring your hair remains healthy and vibrant all summer long,” adds Eliza.
Pack your luggage for your holiday destination or invite your besties home for a pampering night; summer can be fun for both your hair and you!
