It’s challenging to keep curly hair well in summer due to the humid air, blazing sunlight, saltwater. All of these factors bring risks to hair health. But if with proper care, your curls still would be glossy and healthy. The following methods come from the most professional hairstylists, which aim to help you get your best summer curls.

Keep Your Hair Moist

Curly hair tends to dry out much quicker and easier than other hair textures. While the sun only worsens this issue as it tends to act as a drying agent, and will strip your curly hair of necessary moisture, especially in summer. If you want to go to the beach or the swimming pool, it is the best way to soak your curls with water and then apply some coconut oil to your curly hair before going out the door.

 

For one thing, soaking your hair with clean water in advance at home can help curls lock in sorely needed moisture and conduce to prevent chlorine or saltwater that can readily dry out your curls. For another thing, coconut oil has a natural SPF of 10, so you can also protect your hair from the direct sunlight at the same time doing deep conditioning. Of course, you also can drink lots of fresh water and apply some leave-in conditioner to your ends to help curls keep hydrated.

Gently And Patiently Manage Tangles

Summer heat and humidity can cause curly hair to become knotty and difficult to manage. Because curls are inherently more delicate and fragile, you must be extra careful and patient to handle these tangles. In this case, your fingers are your best tools. Therefore, you had better use your finger to detangle or use a wide-toothed comb to brush it. In order to avoid breakage in the process of brushing your curly hair, nothing is better than applying detangling lotion.

Never Clean It Too Frequently

In fact, curls don’t need to be washed frequently, especially in summer. That is because too much washing can make it fussy, especially in wet weather. For curly hair, it is perfect to wash every three to seven days or even longer time. But no matter how long you wash hair, cleaning your curls with cleaning shampoo is more conductive to maintain the natural moisture in the curly hair and remove the impurities and buildup from styling products, which can revitalize your curls and make them look new for summer. Besides, it is better to apply some conditioner to curly hair between washings to add moisture in order to keep curls healthy.

Make Protective Styles 

Just like your skin needs some protection, so does your curly hair. For example, prolonged exposure to the UVA and UVB rays of the sun will damage the outermost layer of the hair cuticle, which makes your curly hair harder to curl. Therefore, if you are often exposed to the sun, you must take some actions to protect your curls. Here we sincerely suggest you wear hats or design some protective style to give curls a break, such as braids, twists, buns, and hair weaves.
