Care for Your Curls and Fight Frizz this Summer

Care for curly hair

We adore naturally curly hair. But we know that there can be frustrations, too, like not being able to keep your curls looking great all summer long.

If you have curly hair, you know that the hot summer months can be a struggle when it comes to keeping your locks frizz-free. But don’t despair—with these curly hair tips and the right products, you can beat the humidity and keep your curls looking fabulous no matter what the weather.

Why Does My Hair Get Frizzy?

The answer is actually quite simple. When it’s hot and humid, your hair absorbs moisture from the air, causing it to swell and resulting in frizz.

So how can you combat this? There are a few things you can do to prevent frizz and keep your curls looking their best.

Here are our top tips for keeping your curly hair healthy and frizz-free this summer.

Don’t over-wash your hair

Curly hair tends to be on the drier side, so washing it too often can strip away natural oils and lead to frizz. Aim to wash your hair no more than 2-3 times per week and use a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner to avoid further drying out your strands.

Deep condition regularly

Deep conditioning is a must for curly hair. It helps to hydrate and nourish your strands, while also taming frizz. Look for a deep conditioner that contains natural ingredients like shea butter or coconut oil. Apply it to your hair once a week and leave it on for at least 20 minutes before rinsing out. We have several masques and serums to deep condition your hair. Speak to one of our expert stylists to learn which is best for your hair.

Get regular trims

Even if you’re not ready for a major chop, you can also get your ends trimmed to help keep them healthy. Regular trims will keep your curly hair healthy and free of split ends. Aim to get a trim every 6-8 weeks.

By following these tips, you can keep your curly hair healthy and frizz-free all summer long. With the right products and care, you’ll be able to beat the heat and enjoy beautiful, bouncy curls all season.
