When the heat cranks up in summer, different types of hair react. Dry hair needs more moisture, greasy hair needs less moisture and curly hair can get an attack of the frizzies. Not fun! And very annoying. These tips will help you be less frustrated with your curly hair in summer.
When thinking about how to deal with curly hair in the summer, your best bet, honestly, is to simply embrace what you have and not spend the hottest months worrying about trying to change your style. If your hair is naturally curly, the last thing you want to do is spend hours upon hours straightening it. Embrace the natural way that your hair tends to be, getting over the psychological need to change it might make all the difference.
Curly hair always tends to do much better in the long run if you allow it to dry naturally in the air rather than applying too much artificial heat by using a blow dryer. By all means, apply hair products to try to tackle things like frizz, but really there is no need for you to be using a blow dryer unless you are in an extreme rush!
When it comes to curly hair and warm weather, sea salt spray can really be your best friend! The product, once applied, encourages beautiful bouncy beach waves that retain a pleasing texture even in the most humid and hot weather. It might not have been a well-known product a few years ago, but nowadays the store shelves are filled with different brands of sea salt spray; you will be spoilt for choice!
If you have curly hair, you shouldn’t even be considering not using conditioner as part of your regular hair routine! Applying conditioner every time you wash your hair helps to fight the presence of frizz in high humidity. Also, spending time in the sea and the pool during the summer can really dry your hair out, so it’s good to get the conditioner in there to help keep those locks nice and soft.
If you have the kind of curly hair that tends to be really brittle and dry, especially at the ends, then you need to find a product that can effectively ease the problem. Something like Moroccan oil is perfect for treating damaged ends, and if you have healthy ends, you are much less likely to experience large amounts of frizz in other areas of your hair.
Braids are bang on trend right now, and they are the absolute best summer hairstyle to rock if you want to make your hair look great and then be able to forget about it for the rest of the day. Even the most basic braid combined with a moisturizing hair product can look great and solve all of your problems.
For girls with curly hair, trying to achieve a sleek, sophisticated look might just end up being unattainable. Instead, you should go in the other direction and try to embrace the funky look of the messy bun. With a prefect messy bun, it doesn’t matter if your frizz is in overdrive, all it does is add to the look!
Tame your frizz and rock those curls, curly girl.
