We’ve even included summer hair care tips from some of your favourite stylists at Hush: Waida, Kate, Jess, and Abbie!

☀️ Why Summer Hair Care in Guelph Matters

From rooftop patios downtown to weekend hikes at the Arboretum, Guelph summers are full of fun—but they also come with sun, sweat, and styling stress. Common hair issues during the summer include:

• Frizz and dryness
• Faded colour
• Tangled curls
• Scalp irritation
• Extension damage
  
  

Luckily, our stylists at Hush Salon and Spa have the solutions—and it all starts with the right AG Care routine tailored to your hair type and density.

💨 For Fine or Low-Density Hair

You want volume and movement without buildup. Summer can leave fine hair limp and frizzy, so lightweight hydration is key.

AG Care Must-Haves:

• Balance Shampoo – Sulfate-free and gentle enough for daily use without stripping.
• Thikk Volumizing Conditioner – Weightless moisture that adds body and shine.

• Firewall Argan Shine & Flat Iron Spray – Thermal and UV protection in one.
  
  

✨ Pro Tip from Kate (blonde specialist at Hush Salon and Spa in Guelph):
“Blonde hair fades fast in the sun, especially on fine strands. I recommend using AG’s Sterling Silver Toning Shampoo once a week to keep brassiness at bay, and always finish with Firewall before heat styling—it protects your colour and adds a beautiful, soft shine!”

🌊 For Medium-Density Hair / Wavy or Loose Curls

If you’ve got soft curls or waves, the summer heat can easily lead to puffiness and frizz. You need products that define your texture without weighing it down.

AG Care Must-Haves:

• Moisture Xtramoist Shampoo + Conditioner – Deeply hydrates dry waves and curls without heaviness.
• Re:Coil Curl Activator – A cult classic for defining waves and curls with soft hold.
• Frizzproof Anti-Humidity Spray – Lightweight humidity shield for summer days.
  
  

✨ Pro Tip from Waida (curl specialist at Hush Salon and Spa):
“Always apply your curl products to soaking wet hair. Scrunch with a microfiber towel or cotton T-shirt, and air dry or diffuse. I love layering Re:Coil with Spray Gel Thermal Setting Spray for touchable definition that doesn’t collapse in the Guelph humidity!”

🔥 For Thick, Coarse, or Coily Hair

If your hair is naturally thick, curly, or coarse, it needs deep moisture and strong frizz control—especially during those sticky Ontario heat waves.

AG Care Must-Haves:

• Fast Food Leave-On Conditioner – Deep hydration without heaviness.
• Moisture Xtramoist Shampoo – Rich, nourishing formula to combat dryness.
• Mousse Gel Extra-Firm Curl Retention – Long-lasting hold and definition with no crunch.
• Sterling Silver Mask – Great for colour-treated curls to tone and moisturize.
  
  

✨ Pro Tip from Jess (vivid colour expert at Hush Salon South):
“Vivid hair and humidity are not besties! Keep your colour vibrant with Colour Savour Shampoo & Conditioner, and use a leave-in like Fast Food to prevent dryness. Vivid clients—rinse with cool water and wear a hat when you're out in the sun!”

💁♀️ For Hair Extensions or Long, Thick Hair

Extensions need extra love in the summer to prevent matting, dryness, and UV damage. Hydration and gentle detangling are key.

AG Care Must-Haves:

• Balance Shampoo – Sulfate-free formula that’s safe for extensions.
• Fast Food Leave-On Conditioner – Keeps both your natural hair and extensions soft and silky.
• Firewall Argan Spray – Prevents heat damage and adds lightweight shine.
  
  

✨ Pro Tip from Abbie (extension specialist at Hush Salon South):
“Always brush your extensions gently from the ends up and sleep in a loose braid or silk bonnet to prevent tangling. I love using AG’s Fast Food on mid-lengths to ends and sealing it in with Firewall—it’s like sunscreen for your hair!”

🌼 Summer Hair Care Tips from Hush Stylists

Wherever you are in Guelph—whether you’re hiking, shopping downtown, or poolside—these tips will help you protect your hair and keep it looking fresh:

✅ Use a UV Protectant

AG’s Firewall Spray shields your strands from UV rays that fade colour and cause dryness.

✅ Rinse After Swimming

Chlorine and salt can dry out hair and extensions fast. Rinse with fresh water, then apply Fast Food to rehydrate.

✅ Don’t Over-Wash

Stick to 2–3 washes a week. Use Balance or Moisture Shampoo to gently cleanse without stripping your hair’s natural oils.

✅ Layer Your Products

Use a leave-in, curl activator, and humidity spray as needed. Ask your Hush stylist to help build your custom summer hair routine.
