Hot Curl Summer – Curly Hair in the Heat
Since summer is here, you may be heading out to the sun, sea, and sand. But if you have curly hair, the heat and humidity will pose a few challenges, you’ll likely have been facing the same hair issues all these years!
At Salon Trusted, we understand that curly hair differs from every other type of hair. If you have been blessed with curly hair, you already know that your hair is more porous, and it absorbs and loses moisture faster than other types. What does that do? Instead of giving you the ideal bouncy ringlets of your dreams, you end up with a frizzy untameable lion’s mane.
Don’t worry, read this blog where we share numerous tips on how to protect your hair against the summer heat, how to keep your hair curly and bouncy, and what curly haircare products to use.
First of all, we need to understand how curly hair is different from every other type. We know you already know how it appears different, but we mean to make you understand why it ‘behaves’ differently. Curly hair strands grow in spirals with a comparatively higher number of twists and bends than straight hair. Since the natural oils from your scalp find it harder to travel from the roots down to the tip of each strand, your curly hair becomes prone to dryness and frizz. Additionally, there are so many subtypes within the curly hair type, since each curl can develop its personality and needs, just like you – unique down to the core! All this can make your curly hair slightly more high maintenance than the rest of the hair types.
Here are some easy-to-remember tips that will help you protect your beautiful curly hair against the summer heat:
Always keep yourself properly hydrated. Drinks loads of water. The more you drink, the more your curls will stay hydrated. Water is an essential ingredient in keeping your moisture levels in check and avoiding frizz easily.
If you wash your hair too often, it removes all the essential natural oils that keep your hair moisturised and healthy. Washing your hair once or twice a week is a good practice. Matrix A Curl Can Dream Shampoo and Conditioner Litre Duo.
It is always advisable to use a heat protectant before you use any kind of heat-styling tool. It will keep your curls protected from the damaging effects of high temperatures.
Just like how your skin needs UV protection from harmful sun rays, your hair needs it too. Use UV hair protection products that will keep your curls safe.
We all enjoy a dip in the pool to cool down during the summer. But remember that chlorine is the enemy of curly hair and it can break and dry up your hair. Before dipping into the pool, use a leave-in conditioner to create a barrier. Once you are out of the pool, thoroughly rinse, and then condition your curly hair.
The summer sun can easily dry up your curls. Deep conditioning your curly hair regularly with mask found on Salon Trusted.
Embrace your natural curls during the summertime. Don’t over-style your hair as it may deprive your curly hair of the moisture and oils it needs. Don’t weigh down your hair with too many products.
Here is a list of 5 easy and quick tips for curly hair care during the summer:
Try using a curl-refreshing spray to rejuvenate your curls between washes. It will help you redefine your curls and reduce the amount of frizz for the entire day.
Do not use tight hair ties. Instead, try using soft scrunchies or spiral hair ties as these will have a limiting effect on your curls. Tighter hair ties can easily damage your hair and affect your curling pattern. You can browse the accessories sections on Salon Trusted to find the right scrunchies and spiral hair ties.
Natural hair oils are the best way to rejuvenate your natural curls. They can help lock in moisture and nourish your curls with the right ingredients. Apply small amounts to keep your curls shiny and hydrated. Try Insight Elasti-Curl – Bouncy Curls Hair Oil or the Matrix A Curl Can Dream Oil.
At SalonTrusted, we have curly hair detanglers that are ideal for curly hair care.
Here are three reasons why curl hair detanglers are good for you:
Detanglers are designed to minimise hair breakage as they naturally help ease out the knots and tangles in your curly hair. They provide a good slip that allows it to smoothly glide through your curls.
Detanglers smooth out knots and tangles to help significantly reduce frizz. This will help your curly hair look more defined and less unruly. It will give your curly hair the beautiful hairdo that you want.
