Summer is slowly approaching, and while you're excited about the beach and the heat, don't forget to take care of your hair! The weather has a substantial impact on your hair. It's hard to style curly hair as it is, dealing with frizziness due to the unexpected weather. We're here to equip you with tips to take care of your curls during the summer!

Skip The Daily Shampoo

Understandably, you would want a clean scalp at the end of the day after spending the whole day in the heat. Research has revealed that excessive washing strips off essential oils that hair needs to remain healthy. While it may be tempting to use shampoo every day for the "clean hair feeling," it's damaging for the hair in the long term. 

Tangle Treatment

Spending the day out in the Sun enjoying the weather sounds just like what we need, but you're bound to get tangles when you let your hair down. One way to deal with this is using a pre-shampoo treatment to ensure your hair is smooth. Alternatively, you could also use a leave-in conditioner in your hair to ensure you don't have to deal with knots and frizzy hair. Try the Kenna Stimulating Scalp Tonic. The tonic is formulated with nineteen natural ingredients and can be used as a leave-in conditioner or a pre-shampoo. 

Cool It Down

With the Sun beating down on you as you go about your day, it can be a lot for your body in general. While a hot shower might sound good to some people just to relax your muscles and feel better, avoid using hot water to clean your scalp. Your scalp could use some cooling down, so try a calmer approach instead of a hot hair wash. Your hair thanks you for your consideration!

Condition(er)s Applied

Conditioner is a must in general but essential when styling your hair in the summer. Make sure you're applying your conditioner the right way. While shampoo is meant to clean the roots of your hair and your scalp, conditioner is meant to moisturize your hair strands, so start applying conditioner to the hair which needs it instead of the scalp. 

Hoodwink Humidity

Humidity can be enemy number one if you have wavy or curly hair. Get a good look at your products to make sure your hair looks the way you want it to. Avoid using water-based products in the summer because humidity will not bode well. If you don't want to end up with poofy and weird-looking hair, we suggest using a lightweight gel to hold your curls. 

Say No To Hot Tools

While you might want to use your blowdryer to dry your hair fast and get out the door, you might want to slow down. Try to cut down on your use of hot tools. Instead, invest in a good microfiber towel to dry your hair naturally. 

Chlorine Cleanse

It's hard to stay away from the swimming pools, especially in summer. After your fun in the pool, make sure to take care of your curls. Use products that gently clean the chlorine from your hair, leaving it clean without stripping off its natural oils. 

While you're having the time of your life this summer, make sure to take good care of yourself and your gorgeous waves/curls!
