Learn how to use Summer Wash for a gentle, season-smart hair and body cleanse that won't strip your hair or dry your skin. Step-by-step routine included.
Quick answer
Use Summer Wash as your everyday hair and body cleanser during warm months. Apply to wet hair, lather gently, and rinse. Follow with your usual conditioner if needed. For body, use a small amount on a loofah or hands and rinse thoroughly.
Why switch your wash for summer
Your hair and scalp react to heat, humidity, and increased sweat. Many standard shampoos strip natural oils, leaving hair straw-like and dry—a common complaint our barbers hear year after year. Summer Wash is formulated as a gentle cleanser appropriate for warmer weather, helping you avoid that stripped feeling while still removing sweat and buildup.
When to use Summer Wash
Use it daily or every other day depending on your activity level and hair type. If you swim, exercise heavily, or spend time in humid environments, a daily rinse keeps your scalp fresh. For drier hair types, every other day is enough to maintain natural moisture without over-cleansing.
How to use Summer Wash in 3 steps
- Wet your hair and body thoroughly: Start with warm (not hot) water to open pores and loosen dirt. Hot water can strip natural oils, which is the opposite of what you want in summer. Checkpoint: Water should feel comfortable, not scalding.
- Apply a small amount of Summer Wash: Dispense about a quarter-sized amount into your palm. Work it into a light lather on your scalp and hair, then spread over your body. Focus on areas that collect sweat—scalp, neck, and back. Common mistake: Using too much product. A little goes a long way with this gentle formula.
- Rinse and follow up: Rinse thoroughly with cool water to seal the hair cuticle and refresh your skin. If your hair tends to tangle, follow with a lightweight conditioner on the mid-lengths and ends. Checkpoint: No residue should remain. Your hair should feel clean but not squeaky or dry.
Product spotlight
- Summer Wash: Summer Wash is specifically designed with summer in mind. Your hair and scalp react to the seasons. Your hair wash should, too. It is a gentle cleanser appropriate for use in warmer weather. Using a season-specific wash helps prevent the dry, straw-like hair that many people experience in summer heat, because it cleanses without stripping natural moisture.
