This summer, curly hair is taking the spotlight as the top trend, standing out for its unmatched naturalness, volume, and freshness.
There’s a universal truth about summer: it’s the season when we mistreat our hair the most. With pool chlorine, sea salt, and sun rays, our hair ends up suffering. On top of these factors, many people subject it to the heat of straighteners and blow dryers to avoid frizz and keep it straight. The reality is that there aren’t that many straight hair types, and the problem is that we haven’t learned to care for our wavy and curly hair properly.
Tip to know if you have curly or wavy hair: If your hair doesn’t naturally stay straight when air-dried, you are most likely part of the “curly team” without even knowing it. If this is the case for you, we encourage you to dive into the curly world this summer and treat your hair as it deserves. From finding the right products to discovering the tools you need to style it the way you like best.
Basic recommendations for caring for curly and wavy hair:
1.Eliminate sulfates, parabens, and silicones: Get rid of your usual shampoo and conditioner and replace them with ones that are free of these components. You need to detoxify your hair from the shampoos that have always been recommended to “tame” curly hair.
2.Deep hydration: Look for a mask that hydrates and nourishes. With it, you will control frizz, as it is a consequence of hair lacking hydration.
So far, we haven’t introduced any products you’re unfamiliar with because these are the basics for maintaining healthy and beautiful hair in general. But now let’s see what comes after washing.
Post-wash routine to define curls and waves:
3.Save the towel for later: It’s better to wait before using the towel (which should be microfiber). For better definition of your waves or curls, apply the leave-in conditioner while your hair is still wet, as the product will be absorbed more easily. 4.Leave-in conditioner: Basically, it’s a conditioner that doesn’t need to be rinsed out and provides extra hydration and nourishment. Apply it all over your hair with the help of a brush designed for curly hair, which won’t break the hair fiber. Then, flip your head upside down and do the famous scrunch to start shaping the waves. To remove excess water, you can do this step with the towel. 5.Styling gel: If you want to enhance your curls even more, you can use a styling gel and distribute it through your hair, section by section, while twisting your hair with your fingers to give it a spiral shape. This step is more suitable for curly hair than for wavy hair.
Following these steps will give new life to your hair, and we are sure it will thank us for it.
