Summertime is the perfect time to let your natural hair flourish. With the right products and routine, you can have beautiful, healthy hair that lasts all season long. In this guide, I will share our top tips for taking care of your natural hair in the summer. From keeping your scalp hydrated to avoiding frizz, I have you covered!
So, what are you waiting for? Let's get started!
One of the most important things you can do for your natural hair in the summer is to keep your scalp hydrated. This will help to prevent dryness and itchiness, two common problems that can arise during the hotter months. To keep your scalp hydrated, I recommend using a light, natural oil like jojoba or coconut oil.
Simply massage a small amount into your scalp before shampooing and let it sit for a few minutes. Rinse it out thoroughly and then proceed with your normal shampooing routine
Ultimate Summer Frizz Control Tip
Another important tip for summer hair care is to avoid frizz. Frizzy hair is not only unattractive, but it can also be difficult to manage. To avoid frizz, I recommend using a natural hair product that contains silicone.
Silicone helps to smooth the hair cuticle and prevents moisture from entering the hair shaft, which is what causes frizz. Apply a small amount of product to damp or dry hair and style as usual.
Finally, don’t forget to protect your natural hair from the sun. Just like your skin, your hair can be damaged by exposure to UV rays. To protect your hair, we recommend wearing a hat or scarf when you are outdoors for extended periods of time. You can also use a leave-in conditioner that contains sunscreen to help keep your hair healthy and protected all summer long.
A few more tips to help your natural hair survive the summer heat:
- Use a deep conditioner at least once a week to keep your hair hydrated and healthy.
- Avoid heat styling tools as much as possible. If you must use them, be sure to use a heat protectant spray beforehand.
- Drink plenty of water! This will help to keep your hair and skin hydrated from the inside out.
- Saturate Your Strands Before Hitting The Water
- Use a good sulphate-free, natural shampoo
- Cleanse Your Scalp & Hair Properly
