The Ultimate Fort Collins Summer Hair Survival Kit

The Ultimate Fort Collins Summer Hair Survival Kit

Summer in Fort Collins is all about hiking trails, rooftop patios, float days, and last-minute trips to Horsetooth. But between the dry heat, sun exposure, and those occasional chlorine dips, your hair may not love the season quite as much as you do.

The good news? You don’t need a 15-step routine to protect and nourish your hair. You just need a few summer-proof essentials—curated by your trusted Gallipott stylists.

Why Summer is So Tough on Hair

While we all love a golden hour glow, summer can do serious damage:

• UV rays fade color and dry out the cuticle

• Chlorine and salt strip your natural oils and rough up strands

• Dry heat weakens curls and leaves ends brittle

• Wind and travel lead to tangles, breakage, and frizz

Whether you’re rocking a protective style, beachy texture, or heat-free look, the right products and treatments make all the difference.

Your Gallipott Summer Hair Essentials

Here’s what we recommend for a fuss-free, glow-up season:

1. Davines SU Hair Milk

Think of this like SPF for your strands. It offers UV protection, hydration, and softness—perfect before heading out into the sun. Spray onto damp or dry hair before you hit the trails or poolside hangouts.

2. OI All-in-One Milk

This is your everything mist. It detangles, controls frizz, protects from heat, and adds lightweight moisture. Great for travel, daily styling, or refreshing curls mid-week.

3. NOUNOU Conditioner or Hair Mask

For post-sun recovery. It’s rich but never heavy—packed with antioxidants and moisture for color-treated or dried-out hair. Use once a week for a deep conditioning ritual.

4. Dry Shampoo + Hair Refresher

Not washing as often during summer? We get it. A dry shampoo and Davines Hair Refresher keep your scalp feeling clean and your hair smelling amazing.

5. Travel Minis

We can help you build a TSA-friendly kit of your favorites, including shampoo, conditioner, and styling essentials. Ask your stylist to curate one for your next trip!

Don’t Forget the Scalp

Healthy summer hair starts with your scalp. We recommend:

• Clarifying scalp scrubs (like Solu Salt) once a week

• Cooling scalp tonics if you wear hats often or sweat a lot

• In-salon nourishing treatments before or after vacations

Gallipott's Philosophy

We only recommend products we believe in—clean, sustainable, and high-performing. Everything in our survival kit is from Davines, a B-Corp brand that shares our values of holistic care, elevated artistry, and environmental integrity.
