Now that it’s officially summer, the combination of sun, saltwater and heat may be starting to take a toll on your hair. While hot tools often get the blame for hair damage, UV exposure can also weaken your mane over time, making it especially important to protect and nourish it throughout the warmer months.
To help us maintain healthy-looking shine all season long, celebrity hairstylist and paid Dove Hair spokesperson Lacy Redway stopped by Studio 1A to demonstrate three heat-free looks styled with Dove Hair’s UV Repair & Glow collection. Featuring a leave-in spray, a recovery mask and a shine-boosting shampoo and conditioner duo, the four-product collection helps support you from the shower to styling. Even better, every product is priced under $12. Shop Dove Hair’s UV Repair & Glow collection below!

If summer sun has left your hair looking dry, dull or dehydrated, this lightweight serum can help revive your strands. According to the brand, the nourishing oil formula is intended to help protect against future dullness while repairing existing UV damage and boosting shine — all without weighing hair down. To use, simply mist it onto damp or dry hair. Redway likes incorporating it into sleek, slicked-back styles, recommending a light spritz before brushing hair into a ponytail or bun for an added boost of hydration. She also says it’s a great option for enhancing and nourishing natural texture.
If protective styles like braids are part of your summer routine, Redway recommends using a hair mask beforehand to help prep your strands. She notes that applying a nourishing treatment before styling hair helps to support ongoing repair. According to the brand, this 10-in-1 treatment is intended to restore softness and shine. To use, apply the mask to clean, damp or dry hair, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends before rinsing.
Next up, Redway created a faux bob, recommending that you use your go-to protective shampoo and conditioner before styling. This shampoo pick was designed to cleanse your hair and scalp while helping to counteract the effects of UV damage. The formula is infused with an antioxidant-rich Ferulic Serum, which is intended to seal the hair cuticle for a smoother, shinier finish, according to the brand. Simply apply it to wet hair, work into a lather and rinse before following with conditioner.
This conditioner helps to replenish moisture after cleansing, while simultaneously targeting signs of UV damage, per the brand. Combining Ferulic Serum with the brand’s Bio-Protein Care technology, the formula is intended to smooth the hair cuticle, consequently boosting shine. The brand recommends leaving it on for one minute after shampooing before rinsing for softer, glossier-looking strands.
