Beat the Heat: Hair Care Tips for Kelowna’s Hot Summer

Summers in Kelowna, BC are beautiful—but the sun, heat, and dry air can take a real toll on your hair. Whether you’re hitting the lake, heading up Knox Mountain, or just chilling downtown, your hair needs extra protection this time of year.

At The GOAT Barbers in Kelowna, we see firsthand how the summer season affects hair health—and we’re here to help you stay sharp, stylish, and protected.

Why Summer Can Damage Your Hair

Kelowna’s dry heat, UV rays, sweat, and chlorinated pools can:

• Dry out your scalp and strands

• Fade color-treated hair

• Cause breakage or frizz

• Lead to greasy roots from excess sweat

But the good news? With the right summer hair care routine, you can protect your look and stay confident all season.

1. Trim Regularly to Prevent Split Ends

Heat and sun exposure can weaken your hair. Frequent trims (every 3-4 weeks) help maintain shape and remove split ends. At The GOAT Barbers, our expert barbers give precision cuts that keep your style fresh and clean.

2. Hydrate Inside and Out

Just like your skin, your hair needs moisture.

• Drink plenty of water

• Use a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner

• Ask our barbers about lightweight leave-in treatments that won’t weigh your hair down

3. Protect Your Hair from the Sun

Think of your hair like your skin—it needs sun protection.

• Wear a cap or hat when outdoors

• Use UV-protectant sprays or creams (ask us for recommendations at your next visit)

Bonus: A clean fade or taper from The GOAT Barbers fits perfectly under any hat!

4. Rinse After Swimming

Kelowna summers mean dips in Okanagan Lake and the pool—but chlorine and saltwater can be harsh.

• Always rinse your hair with clean water after swimming

• Consider using a clarifying shampoo once a week to remove build-up

5. Choose the Right Summer Style

Shorter cuts aren’t just cooler—they’re easier to maintain. Whether it’s a fade, crop, buzz cut, or textured top, our barbers will recommend a style that suits your hair type, face shape, and lifestyle.

Pro Tip: Clean necklines and tidy sideburns make all the difference in the summer heat.

6. Lightweight Products Only

Say goodbye to heavy pomades or waxes. Go for matte finish products or water-based gels that hold your style without adding grease. Ask our barbers at The GOAT for product suggestions that won’t clog your scalp or dry out your hair.
