Summer is a season filled with warmth, sunshine, and outdoor activities. However, it can also pose challenges for those with curly hair. The intense heat, humidity, and exposure to the sun’s rays can wreak havoc on your curls, leading to frizz, dryness, and lackluster locks. But fear not! With a few simple tips and tricks, you can protect and maintain your beautiful curls all summer long. Let’s explore some simple strategies to safeguard your curls from the summer heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Tips<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

1. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the most important aspects of summer hair care<\/a> is hydration. Curly hair is naturally dry, and the summer heat can exacerbate this issue. Firstly, make sure you drink plenty of water to hydrate your curls from within. Additionally, use moisturizing hair products that are specifically formulated for curly hair. Look for conditioners and leave-in treatments containing ingredients like shea butter, coconut oil, or aloe vera to lock in moisture and prevent your curls from becoming brittle. Some of our funky faves for locking in moisture are the Midnite Train<\/a> Leave In Conditioner, Thirsty Curls<\/a> Revitalizing Spray, Supercurl<\/a> Miracle Moisture Cr\u00e8me and the Extra Butter<\/a> Curl Forming Cr\u00e8me! Mix and match these products for maximum results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Shield Your Curls From The Sun<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Just like your skin, your curls need protection from the sun’s harmful UV rays. Prolonged sun exposure can cause your hair color to fade, weaken the hair strands, and lead to dryness. Consider wearing a wide-brimmed hat or using a stylish scarf to shield your curls from direct sunlight. If you plan to spend extended periods outdoors, opt for hair products with built-in UV protection such as our Maximum Thermal Protection<\/a> Primer<\/a>. This product creates a barrier that shields your hair from the sun, minimizing damage and preserving your curl pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Tips<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

3. Embrace The Power of Deep Conditioning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Deep conditioning<\/a> is a game-changer for curly hair! The combination of heat, chlorine from swimming pools, and saltwater can strip moisture from your curls. Treat your hair to a deep conditioning treatment at least once a week to replenish lost moisture and restore vitality. Choose deep conditioners that are rich in natural oils and proteins to nourish and repair your curls from root to tip. We suggest that you apply the Heal & Renew<\/a> Intensive Hair Masque, cover your hair with a shower cap, and let it sit for 20-30 minutes before rinsing for the best results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Protective Styling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Consider incorporating protective styles<\/a> into your summer hair routine. Braids, twists, buns, and updos not only keep your curls off your face and neck but also protect them from excessive heat and humidity. These styles can help retain moisture, reduce frizz, and promote healthy hair growth. Remember to moisturize and seal your hair with a lightweight oil or leave-in conditioner before styling to maintain moisture balance. You should also pick up a hair and scalp refresher like Defunk<\/a> to keep your protective style smelling fresh and new!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Tips<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

5. Regular Trims<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Regular trims are crucial for curly hair maintenance, especially in the summer. Trimming the ends of your hair every six to eight weeks helps prevent split ends<\/a> and breakage, ensuring that your curls remain bouncy and healthy. Removing damaged and dry ends also allows for better product absorption and curl definition. If you aren\u2019t quite ready for a trim, get that freshly trimmed look with our reparative split end serum<\/a>. Our serum strengthens, seals and smoothes split ends instantly with a unique, weightless formulation of silk, bamboo, quinoa and honey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maintaining your curls during the summer heat doesn’t have to be a daunting task. By following these essential tips, you can protect your curls from the damaging effects of the sun, heat, and humidity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
