Love the idea of shiny, healthy, summer curls but the reality is a frizzy, uncontrollable mess?
The summertime humidity doesn’t do curly hair any favours, as all that extra moisture in the air is absorbed by your hair which increases each strand’s diameter and leads to that wild look.
The good news is that with a little time and effort and a couple of key products, you can banish frizz and wear your curls with pride right through summer. Try these three tips:
Activate your curls
Summer calls for lighter products as you want to increase and maintain moisture levels without weighing down the hair. After washing your hair (with a sulphate-free shampoo to avoid stripping your hair of all those good, natural oils) followed by a hydrating conditioner, you want to add a lightweight curl cream.
We love The Perfect Hair Curl Activating Gel (R99.95) as the gel helps to lock in moisture while also defining perfectly popping curls and coils. It also smells like summer, thanks to the yummy tropical scent!
Speed up growth
We all know that your hair benefits from a regular trim, which is especially true for curly hair as it helps to remove dry and split ends and to keep it healthy and bouncy. You might be putting off the visit to the hairdresser, because you want to maintain your length.
The solution: Opt for a product that promotes hair growth, such as The Perfect Hair Grow on The Go Growth Oil (R89.99) while going for regular trims. Thanks to the rich Abyssinia and jojoba oils in this product, your hair will enjoy an intense treatment for a dry scalp while a basil root extract stimulates hair growth. Win win!
Keep your edges in check
Tame your edges when the temperature rises with the The Perfect Hair Grow on the Go Edge Tamer (R64.99).
Besides holding everything in place, this non-greasy gel will also add some shine and moisture to your hair while stimulating growth, thanks to the magic ingredient: basil root.
