Summer heat, humidity, salt water and chlorine can wreak havoc on curly hair, leaving it dry, frizzy, and lifeless. But don't let the elements dictate your hair's destiny! With the right care and products, you can maintain bouncy, defined curls all season long.
Understanding the Curly Hair Struggle:
Curly hair is naturally drier than straight hair due to its unique structure. The lack of sebum (natural oils) traveling down the hair shaft means curls are more prone to dryness, frizz, and breakage. This is especially amplified during the summer months when external factors like sun, humidity, salt water, and chlorine strip away moisture.
The Importance of Hydration:
Hydration is the cornerstone of healthy curly hair. To combat dryness and maintain your curl pattern, you need to:
Deep Condition Regularly: Infuse your hair with moisture through weekly deep conditioning treatments. Look for products rich in humectants like hyaluronic acid to draw in moisture.
Seal in Moisture: After washing and conditioning, seal in the moisture with a leave-in conditioner or a lightweight oil. This creates a protective barrier against humidity.
Protect from Heat: Limit the use of heat-styling tools as much as possible. When you do use them, always apply a heat protectant.
