Summer Haircare Tips for Travel & Heat Protection

Summertime means adventure—from road trips to island getaways, pool days to rooftop nights. But let’s be real: between the blazing heat, constant sun, and long travel days, our curls go through it.

In this season of movement and sunshine, our hair deserves ease, care, and protection. This month’s Hermana to Hermana tips are all about helping your curls stay hydrated, defined, and damage-free—no matter where the summer takes you.

1. Refresh Don’t Rewash

On-the-go days mean you won’t always have time for a full wash day. Instead of overwashing, revive your curls with our refresh + hold spray. It brings back bounce, adds moisture, and controls frizz—all without stripping your strands.

Pro Tip: Lightly mist, scrunch, and let air dry or diffuse for instant curl revival.

2. Protect Your Curls from the Sun

Just like your skin, your curls need sun protection. UV rays can dry out hair, fade color, and weaken strands over time. Use products that offer antioxidant protection and wear a hat or scarf when you're in direct sun for long periods.

Pro Tip: Reapply your refresh spray midday like you would sunscreen—especially if you're spending hours outside.

3. Travel with Low-Stress Styles

When traveling, go for low-manipulation styles that hold up through changing weather and packed itineraries. Loose braids, buns, or twists are great for protecting your curls while still looking cute.

Pro Tip: Wrap your hair in a satin scarf at night (or bring a satin pillowcase) to prevent frizz and tangling on the go.

4. Hydrate Everywhere (Inside & Out)

Dehydration hits hard in the summer—and your hair feels it too. Drink lots of water and choose hair products that hydrate without buildup. Look for lightweight sprays like our refresh + hold spray to nourish and seal in moisture.

Pro Tip: Pack our refresh and hold spray with ingredients like marula oil for hydration, tomato extract for damage protection, and coffee seed extract to help protect against UV stress.

5. Keep It Simple, Keep It Consistent

When you're moving around a lot, stick to your core routine: cleanse, condition, hydrate, protect. You don’t need a suitcase full of products—just the right ones that do double (or triple) duty.

Pro Tip: Your refresh spray should be your travel MVP—it hydrates, protects, and restyles your curls in one step.

Your Curls Deserve a Soft Landing

This summer, let your curls breathe and thrive while you live fully and freely. Whether you're beach-bound or backyard-chillin', the goal is care without complication.

From hermana to hermana, here's to curls that stay glowing, protected, and full of joy—all season long.
