Hello Lovies,

I hope you are all having a wonderful summer, and creating beautiful memories.

Because textured hair is unique, versatile and has a personality of its own, I wanted to share a few useful tips (along with recommended products) to keep your curls healthy and frizz free (or almost) all summer long!

Tips

• Do not wash your hair too often. Depending on your hair, aim for once to twice a week. You can also alternate between a shampoo and a cleansing conditioner if you workout, or need to wash your hair more often.

We have curated the most effective cleansing conditioners for textured hair. Visit our cleansing conditioners aisle in the boutique, to shop the best cleansing conditioners on the market!

If you are an avid swimmer or have hard water at home, consider using a chelating shampoo or treatment as part of your routine. We suggest you check out Malibu C

• Frizz is also often an indication that your hair lacks moisture. Make sure you deep condition your hair every week. Alternate between a moisture mask/deep conditioner and a protein mask for a healthy protein moisture balance

Our recommendations

• Style your hair on VERY wet hair. This will help set the curls beautifully, and will help combat frizz. A continuous spray bottle will help to distribute water evenly with a fine mist.

• Using a medium to strong hold styler, will keep your style longer. You can also opt for a medium to strong hold hair spray. Bounce Curl, Jessicurl, Rizos Curls, Kerasilk, Innersense Organic Beauty, and AG Hair Care have excellent ones.

• For outstanding texture definition, use one of the following brushes, based on your preferred results.

• Typically in the summer time, we find it very practical to air dry our hair; however, if you are planning to step outside into the elements, make sure that you dry diffuse your hair prior to stepping out. This is because the humidity in the air will affect your hair, and how it dries. It will be prone to get frizzy.

• Sleep on a satin or silk pillowcase, or wear a night bonnet (silk or satin)

• After you apply your gel and dry your hair, you can seal the moisture with a hair serum or light oil.
