West Coast Weather & Your Hair: Tips for Rain, Humidity, and Sun
Living on Vancouver Island, Langford locals know that the weather can change in a heartbeat. One minute it’s sunny along the Galloping Goose Trail, the next you’re caught in a light drizzle heading home from Starlight Stadium. Your hair can take a beating from humidity, rain, and sun—but with the right routine and products, it can stay healthy, smooth, and stylish all year round.
At Cabello Salon, we recommend top-tier products from Kevin Murphy and Bumble and Bumble to protect and perfect your hair, no matter the forecast.
☔ Rain & Humidity: Tame the Frizz
West Coast humidity can make even the sleekest styles puff up. Here’s how to fight frizz and keep your hair looking polished:
Prep & Protect: Start with Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Primer to soften and hydrate strands before styling.
Smooth Styling: Use Kevin Murphy Smooth Again Serum on damp hair to lock in moisture and tame flyaways.
Drying Tip: Avoid rough towel drying; instead, gently squeeze excess water and let hair air dry or use a diffuser on low heat.
Pro Tip: Humidity is highest near Goldstream Provincial Park and coastal areas, so double up on frizz-fighting products when spending time outdoors.
☀️ Sun Protection: Shield Your Strands
Even on cloudy days, UV rays can damage hair—fading color and weakening strands.
Color Care: For dyed or highlighted hair, apply Kevin Murphy Young Again Treatment to prevent sun-related fading and maintain softness.
Everyday UV Defense: Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil UV Protective Primer shields against sun exposure and adds silky shine.
Hats & Accessories: A stylish wide-brim hat is not only trendy for your Langford Station strolls or weekend adventures—it protects hair from sun stress too.
❄️ Wind & Rainy Season: Protect & Nourish
Fall and winter in Langford bring wind and wet weather. Protect hair while keeping it healthy:
Hydration Boost: Use Kevin Murphy Hydrate-Me Wash & Rinse weekly to maintain moisture balance.
Quick Fix: For mornings on the go, Bumble and Bumble Bb. Styling Creme smooths hair and controls frizz without heavy residue.
Tip: Keep a travel-size leave-in spray in your bag for sudden weather changes—perfect for quick touch-ups after school runs or West Shore trail walks.
