7 Summer Tips for Curly Hair

Summer brings sun, warmth, and joy, but it also means you need to pay extra attention to your curly hair. Here are some essential tips to ensure your curls stay healthy and beautiful throughout the summer months.

1. Hydrate Your Curls
Curly hair tends to be dry, and summer heat can make it even drier. To minimize this, use a deep conditioning treatment once a week. Opt for the Hydro Hug Hairmask if you need extra hydration. Incorporate a hydrating leave-in conditioner, like the Curl Styling Milk, into your daily routine to keep your curls moisturized.

2. Refresh Your Curls
Hot summer days can leave your curls looking limp by the end of the day. How to prevent that? Refresh your curls! Start by wetting your hair with the Mist Spray until it's damp, not fully wet. Then take a small amount of Curl Styling Milk and a small amount of Curl Defining Gel and work this through your curls. This will help your curls last longer.

3. Stay Hydrated
Keeping your body hydrated is essential for maintaining healthy hair. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to ensure your hair and scalp stay hydrated from the inside out.

4. Loose, Protective Styles
A summer day can be so warm, so we understand that you might want to put your hair up sometimes. Tight hairstyles can cause tension and breakage, especially when your hair is more fragile. Choose loose, protective styles like braids, messy buns, or a loose ponytail. These styles look good while preventing damage.

5. Regular Trims
Changing weather conditions can be harsh on your hair, leading to split ends and breakage. Schedule regular trims every 3-4 months to remove damaged ends and keep your curls healthy and vibrant. Don’t forget to do this before summer starts. We now also offer curly cuts in combination with our treatments. More info? Send an email to [email protected].

6. Use Lightweight Products
Especially in summer, heavy products can weigh down your curls and make your hair feel a bit lifeless. Opt for lightweight products, such as the Conditioner Light, Curl Styling Milk, and Curl Defining Gel. These won’t weigh your hair down but still provide enough nourishment.

7. Avoid Over-Washing
Washing your hair too frequently can strip it of natural oils, leading to dryness and frizz. During the summer, switch your shampoo out for the Cleansing Co-Wash once in a while. This conditioner and shampoo in one cleanses your hair but doesn’t strip your natural oils.

Now you and your curls are ready for summer! By following these summer-specific tips, you can keep your curly hair healthy, hydrated, and gorgeous throughout the season. Enjoy the sunshine and show off your beautiful curls with confidence!
