Top 3 Summer Hair Care Tips for Curly Hair

Hola hermanas, summer 2024 is finally here! We are so excited to see your gorgeous curls having fun this season. While we love being outdoors during summer, it can be a tricky season for curly hair, with its mix of sun, heat, and humidity we often experience more frizz and dryness. 

Here are three expert summer hair care tips to keep your curls looking their best:

1. Reset Your Scalp

The summer heat can lead to a sweaty and oily scalp, which can cause buildup and irritation. To keep your scalp healthy, switch to a gentle, hydrating shampoo that cleanses without stripping away your hair's natural oils. Our Curl Care Shampoo is made with soothing ingredients like tea tree oil, peppermint and apple cider vinegar, which can help reset your scalp and keep it feeling fresh. Regularly cleansing your scalp ensures a clean base for your curls to thrive.

2. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate

Curly hair tends to be naturally dry, and the summer sun can make this even worse. Incorporate a deep conditioning treatment into your routine at least once a week. Look for products with ingredients like cupuacu butter, avocado oil, and aloe vera, which provide intense moisture and help retain your hair’s natural oils. A great conditioner, like our Curl Care Conditioner, is the perfect base for providing continuous hydration with every wash. 

3. Protect from UV Rays

Just as your skin needs protection from the sun, so does your hair. UV rays can damage the hair cuticle, leading to color fade and increased dryness. We recommend using a hair product with UV and heat protection to shield your curls. Did you know our Hydrating Curl Cream is made with heat protectant? Crafted with ingredients like quinoa extract, which contains all 8 of the essential amino acids, its protein protects the hair against breakage and heat. Additionally, consider wearing a hat or a scarf when you're out in the sun for extended periods. This not only protects your hair but also adds a stylish touch to your summer outfits.

By incorporating these tips into your summer haircare routine, you'll keep your curls looking vibrant, healthy, and ready for all your summer adventures. 

Enjoy those beach days, pool fun and sunny picnics with confidence, knowing your curls are protected and gorgeous!
