Your August Hair Reset: Treatments, Styles & Must-Have Products for Healthy, Gorgeous Hair
Summer can be glorious for the soul – but not always for your hair. Between UV exposure, chlorine, saltwater, and heat styling, strands can end up dry, dull, and prone to breakage. That’s why August is the perfect time for a hair reset: restoring health, refreshing your style, and setting your locks up for the busy months ahead.
At Elite Hair Lounge, we’ve curated the ultimate in-salon treatments and at-home essentials to help every texture – from sleek and straight to coily and natural – look and feel its best.
1. Repair & Replenish with Targeted In-Salon Treatments
If summer has left your hair thirsty, it’s time to drench it in hydration and rebuild strength. Our expert stylists recommend:
- Moisture-Rich Deep Conditioning Treatments – Quench parched curls and coils with salon-grade hydration that penetrates deeply, leaving hair bouncy and defined.
- Texture Release Treatment – For those seeking smooth, frizz-free curls or more manageable natural hair, our summer-friendly Texture Release delivers long-lasting softness without compromising your curl pattern.
2. The Star of the Season: Bumble and Bumble’s New Styling Oil
This August, we’re obsessed with Bumble and bumble’s latest launch (coming to our salons soon)– the Styling Oil – a luxurious, silicone-free formula powered by 100% pure Apricot Seed Oil and 100% pure Abyssinian Oil.
Why we love it:
- Deep Hydration Without Weight – It instantly absorbs, leaving hair silky, not greasy.
- Universal Appeal – Suitable for every hair pattern (straight, wavy, curly, coily) and all hair densities.
- Repair & Shine in One – Smooths frizz, prevents split ends, and adds radiant, dry-finish shine.
Perfect for colour-treated or heat-styled hair, this oil can be applied on damp hair before blow-drying or smoothed over dry hair to finish your style. Bonus tip: Layer it with your favourite Bumble & Bumble or Schwarzkopf stylers for a customised hair cocktail.
3. Refresh Your Colour Before Autumn
August is the sweet spot for a colour refresh – bright enough for summer, rich enough for the cooler season ahead. Our colourists recommend:
- Cool-Toned Balayage – A soft, sun-kissed look that grows out beautifully.
- Warm Caramel Gloss – Adds warmth and dimension for brunettes.
- Pastel Refresh – For creative colour lovers, a fresh pastel top-up keeps tones vivid.

4. Style Switch-Ups to Suit Your Lifestyle
August is also the time to try a cut or style that works with you, not against you. Popular this month:
- Face-Framing Layers – Works beautifully on straight, wavy, or curly hair to soften and flatter.
- Pixie Cuts – Chic, low-maintenance, and effortlessly cool for the late summer heat.
- Protective Styles – Sew-ins using premium Iman Hair bundles to shield your natural hair while looking flawless.
5. At-Home Care: Extend Your Salon Results
Healthy hair isn’t just made in the salon – it’s maintained at home. Our must-haves for post-salon care include:
- Bumble & Bumble Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Heat/UV Protective Primer – Shields hair from heat tools and sun damage.
- Schwarzkopf BlondMe Care Range – Specially formulated for blonde or lightened hair to prevent brassiness and strengthen bonds.
Make August the Month Your Hair Loves You Back
A healthy, glossy head of hair doesn’t happen by accident – it’s the result of the right treatments, products, and expert guidance. Whether you need deep repair, a new cut, or a colour refresh, August is the ideal time to invest in your hair.
