Summer hair care on vacation is all about keeping your hair healthy, shiny, and effortlessly beautiful — without spending hours styling. Holidays are the time to let go of schedules, to-do lists… and the blow-dryer. You want to feel free, relaxed, and sexy without a complicated routine.
At BAM Hair Salon, we believe the best vacation hair is the one that embraces your natural texture — whether it’s straight, wavy, or curly. Here’s how to give each hair type the love it needs so it looks its best all summer long.
Straight hair can get oily and limp quickly in hot, humid weather. The goal is lightweight freshness with natural movement — without overloading your hair with product.

Not sure if your hair is wavy or curly? Understanding your hair type is the first step to finding the right products, cuts, and treatments. At BAM Hair Salon, we often see two common mistakes: many clients assume they have straight hair when it’s actually wavy — or they treat their wavy hair as if it’s curly. Both can lead to underwhelming results.
By comparing wavy vs curly hair in texture, styling, and care needs, we reveal how unique each type truly is.
The main difference lies in the shape of the strand and the tightness of the wave or curl.
Wavy hair forms loose, flowing “S” shapes, usually more visible towards the ends. The roots are flatter, and the wave develops gradually as the hair grows downward. It tends to frizz slightly and can look uneven without the right care.
Wavy hair is categorized into:
Curly hair features tighter, more defined spirals that begin near the scalp. The texture is denser, with visible volume and bounce. It requires more hydration and richer products for definition.
Curly hair is categorized into:
After washing, let your hair air-dry naturally — without using a brush. Then observe:
The golden rule? Less manipulation, more texture enhancement. While basic routines (shampoo, conditioner, leave-in, oil) are similar, the formulas must suit your hair type.
Understanding your natural pattern helps personalize your routine — and that’s where results begin.
At BAM, we guide you based on your natural hair type. We don’t push “straight hair for all” — we celebrate what makes you unique.
We only use clean beauty products from brands like Kevin Murphy and Davines, and we tailor every service to your hair’s real needs.
Every product, cut, or treatment we recommend is fully personalized — because your hair deserves it.
Knowing whether your hair is wavy or curly can transform how you care for it. More importantly, it reshapes how you feel about your natural beauty.
Still unsure about your type? Book a consultation at BAM Hair Salon and let’s discover your ideal hair routine — together.

Haircuts for wavy hair aren’t just about removing length — they’re about bringing out the best in your natural texture. Wavy hair is playful and versatile, but without the right shape, it can feel flat, heavy or frizzy.
That’s why the right haircut makes all the difference.
In this article, you’ll discover which haircuts are best suited to your unique wave pattern, whether you have fine strands, a thick mane or uneven curls.
Before you decide, take a moment to consider the following:
– How does your wave fall naturally?
– Do you want to enhance volume or reduce it?
– Do you style often or leave your hair natural?
– Are you looking for a low-maintenance option or open to textured layers?
Once you reflect on these points, you’ll be in a much better position to choose a haircut that works with your wave — not against it.
At BAM Hair Salon, we always start by analyzing how your hair behaves naturally and recommend haircut techniques that work with your wave — not against it.
Layered haircuts work beautifully for wavy hair because they:
– Bring out the natural wave pattern
– Remove bulk from the ends
– Add volume exactly where it's needed
Moreover, the layering can be adjusted depending on your length, density, and lifestyle.
Whether your hair is thick or fine, we adjust the layering based on your density and movement to keep your waves alive and full of character.
The shag is trending and pairs perfectly with wavy textures. With light bangs and textured layers, it:
It's perfect for those who want a bold look with minimal daily effort.
If you love a more polished finish, a lob is a fantastic medium-length option. It suits all face shapes and wave types, especially when combined with:
It’s ideal if you want to wash and go a couple of times a week — not every day.
Βangs blend beautifully into wavy hair. They:
You can also adjust their length or thickness based on your personal style.
To keep your haircut in shape and your waves defined, you’ll need to follow a few simple tips.
First, choose the right products like leave-ins or lightweight curl enhancers.
Then, maintain regular trims every 8–10 weeks.
Finally, avoid over-drying by air-drying your hair or using a diffuser on low heat.
Check out our hair treatments and shine therapies to combine with your cut.
In summary, wavy hair has incredible potential — but it needs the right shape and the right guidance.

Professional salon treatments are more intensive, work deep within the hair, and deliver visible results from the very first application. At B.A.M. Hair Salon, we offer personalized diagnostics and tailored solutions for every hair need.
If your hair is damaged from bleach, coloring, or heat, a bond-repairing treatment is just what you need.
Ideal for: Dry, color-treated, and damaged hair.
If you have curly, frizzy, or unruly hair, this treatment is a game changer.
Ideal for: Frizzy, difficult-to-manage hair.
Professional deep hydration masks and ampoules used in salons are far more potent than at-home treatments. Plus, they can target multiple hair and scalp concerns at once as part of a full spa treatment at the wash station.

A great choice if you love heat styling.
Recommendation: Kevin Murphy Heated.Defense
Cream-based leave-in treatments smooth the hair and reduce frizz. A two-in-one product for styling and care.
Salon treatments are more powerful and effective than at-home options—they work instantly, and the results are visible almost immediately! They're not the same as regular masks, which mainly help maintain your hair’s current condition. That said, hair masks are still beneficial and definitely have their place.
If you color your hair, use bleach, or style with heat tools often (like flat irons or curling wands), a professional salon treatment is a must. It helps address your hair’s specific needs and keeps it healthy and shiny.
And of course, with proper guidance from your stylist—on which mask to use and how often—you can continue your hair care at home with products tailored to your hair type, making all the difference in quality.
In 2025, natural textures and messy yet chic haircuts with volume dominate the scene. The shag haircut, with its signature layered structure and airy feel, remains strong and is the ultimate choice for those seeking a fresh, modern look with minimal effort.
The shag haircut is characterized by layers at different levels, adding natural volume and movement to the hair. Inspired by the ‘70s and ‘90s, it has made a strong comeback, tailored to modern trends.
The shag is a versatile haircut. From the runway to street style, this year it adapts to every hair texture and face shape, enhancing your features and offering a light, effortless yet polished look.
The shag highlights curls by offering lightness and volume. The layers reduce frizz and allow the curls to form naturally.
In 2025, the shag haircut on wavy hair creates a laid-back, beachy vibe. With a bit of texturizing spray, natural waves are enhanced, making styling a breeze.
Even on straight hair, the shag haircut adds dynamic movement and volume. With a little texture spray, light waves, or a blowout, you can create a modern, voluminous look.
The shag requires minimal maintenance. It’s recommended to use products that enhance the natural texture, such as leave-in conditioner for curly hair or sea salt spray for wavy and straight hair.
At BAM Hair Salon, the shag technique is tailored to your unique needs, enhancing your face shape and natural style.

Frizzy hair can feel like a daily battle, turning a good day into a stressful challenge.
Understanding Frizz: What Causes It?
Frizz occurs when the outer layer of the hair lifts, allowing moisture to enter and swell the strands. This results in a rough texture and lack of smoothness. Common causes that contribute to frizz include:
Step-by-Step Routine for Naturally Taming Frizz
1. Proper Shampooing with the Right Products
Hair care begins with washing. Choosing the right shampoo and conditioner is crucial for controlling frizz, but the proper washing technique is equally important.
2. Incorporate a Weekly Deep Hydration Treatment
Deep hydration treatments are essential for frizzy hair. They provide intense moisture and help repair damage, leaving your hair smoother and more manageable.
3. Make Leave-In Conditioner Part of Your Routine
After washing and conditioning your hair, it's important to have an after-wash hair care routine. This means using a leave-in conditioner after every wash.
4. Dry Your Hair Properly
How you dry your hair can significantly affect frizz. Avoid rubbing your hair with a towel and grab the hair dryer instead.
5. Choose the Right Hair Styling Products
The products you use for styling your hair can make a big difference in the fight against frizz.
6. Protect Your Hair from the Environment
Environmental factors like humidity and pollution can wreak havoc on your hair, but there are ways to protect it.
7. Get the Right Haircut
A good haircut is vital for the health and vitality of your hair. Extra weight and split ends make hair more prone to frizz.
8. Maintain a Healthy Diet
What you eat plays a role in the health of your hair. A balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals can help overall hair health and reduce frizz.
So, Is It Possible to Achieve Smooth, Frizz-Free Hair Without a Keratin Treatm?
Fighting frizzy hair without a keratin treatment is absolutely possible. Understanding the causes of frizz is just the beginning, as this is a natural process. The key is consistent hair care without shortcuts and avoiding superficial fixes. By following these steps, you'll see your hair transform into healthy, shiny, and beautiful locks in just a few weeks!
Our hair is more than just strands. It's the crown on our heads deserving the best possible care.
Research confirms what we intuitively know: 'bad hair days' can negatively affect our mood. Understanding the relationship between self-esteem, social confidence, and personal success underscores the importance of investing in the health and vitality of our hair.
Are you considering transitioning from drugstore to quality, professional hair products?
Here are five compelling reasons why it's worth investing in salon-quality hair products:
Understanding Your Hair Products and Application Techniques
Quality vs Quantity: Investing in high-quality hair products with concentrated formulas saves money in the long run, as less product is needed for long-term benefits.
Shampoo: Used to clean the scalp, not the lengths and ends of the hair. Apply to the scalp, extending towards the hair without rubbing.
Conditioner: Essential for maintaining healthy hair. Skipping it risks hydration and nourishment. Apply to lengths and ends at the end of washing.
Hair Masks: Use once a week at most for hair treatments. Do not substitute them for conditioner every wash. Apply to lengths and ends, then follow with conditioner after rinsing.
Washday vs Styling Products: Quality washday products maintain hair health, while styling products improve desired appearance. Find balance and prioritize basics for optimal results.
Leave-in Conditioner vs Oil: Choose water-based products over oil for hydration and frizz control. Oil repels water, hindering hydration. Apply to ends only to seal moisture.
Blue + Purple Shampoos: Address hair discoloration at the salon rather than covering it up with color masks and purple shampoos.
Understanding hair products and mastering application techniques opens doors to healthier, more beautiful hair.
It's clear that you recognize the importance of taking care of your hair and are ready to invest in quality products. Here's a recommended priority sequence for your hair care routine:
Starting from the most important and essential hair products worth investing your money in, we recommend focusing on shampoo and conditioner. Heat protection product comes next as an equally essential product for protecting your hair from heat damage. Leave-in conditioner, scalp scrub, and styling products can be gradually added to your routine according to your needs.
