Summer Friendly Styles!

Look and Feel Great With DKUK's Summer Friendly Hairstyle Advice

Summer’s on the horizon – and that means lighter layers, longer days, and a fresh approach to your hair. Now’s the perfect time to get ahead of the season and plan your summer hairstyles with DKUK in Peckham. Whether you’re off on holiday, heading to festivals, or just soaking up the city sun, we’ve got everything you need to keep your hair looking cool, calm and effortlessly stylish.

Time for a Lightweight Cut?

As temperatures rise, a low-maintenance, lightweight haircut can make all the difference. Shorter shapes like bobs, bixies and shag-inspired layers are ideal for summer, helping your hair feel cooler, dry quicker and fall into shape without too much fuss. If you’ve got thick or heavy hair, internal layers can remove bulk without changing your overall length or style.

Our stylists will help you find the right shape for your hair type and your lifestyle – because summer should be about easy-going days, not high-maintenance routines.

Heat-Proof Hairstyles for Every Hair Type

Humidity and heat can challenge any style – but with the right look, you can keep your cool all summer. Protective styles like braids, twists and updos are ideal for textured and afro hair, helping to prevent dryness while looking polished and staying put for longer.

For wavy and fine hair, relaxed buns, ponytails and loose plaits are perfect quick fixes that still look chic. Prefer to wear your hair down? Try a spritz of Davines This Is A Sea Salt Spray on damp hair and let it air dry for a soft, beachy texture with zero effort.

Curls That Can Handle the Heat

Curls deserve to shine in summer – without the stress of heat damage. With the right routine, you can enhance your natural texture and keep frizz at bay. We love Davines LOVE Curl Conditioner for keeping curls hydrated and healthy, and Davines LOVE Curl Cream to define shape and soften strands.

Skip the heat tools and try finger-coiling or twist-outs to sculpt your style, then air dry or use a microfibre towel to maintain moisture. At DKUK, we’re all about working with your natural texture, not against it – especially when the sun’s out.

Smooth, Frizz-Free Waves with Keratin

If summer frizz has you fighting a daily battle, a keratin treatment could be the answer. Designed to smooth and soften, this treatment helps tame flyaways and define natural waves and curls – all while cutting your styling time in half.

Our keratin treatments are completely tailored to your hair type and texture. Whether you want sleeker ends, more definition or a bit of both, we’ll create a result that suits your look and your summer plans.

Quick and Easy Summer Styling

When you’re rushing between meet-ups, travel plans or city strolls, you need styles that keep up. Top knots, bubbles braids, half-up twists and loose ponytails are all quick, easy options that look polished without any heat. Accessories like silk scarves and clips are not only a stylish touch – they also help protect your hair from sun damage and over-handling.

To keep your hair nourished in the heat, we recommend Davines OI All In One Milk. It’s a great leave-in product for added softness, shine and UV protection – and a must-have for summer styling on the go.
