Summer is amazing for beach days and plenty of sunshine — but your curls might not always agree. External exposure like UV rays, chlorine, and salt water can leave curly hair feeling dry, frizzy, damaged and not feeling its best. If your curls are looking a little tired after the hot summer months, then it’s time for some post-summer curl recovery.
Here are 3 summer recovery tips for curly hair to help restore the softness, definition, and hydration back to your curls.
The key to reviving curls after summer is hydration. A nourishing deep conditioner for curly hair helps replenish lost moisture, strengthens and brings back elasticity to your hair’s natural curl pattern. Look for products rich in plant-powered ingredients such as aloe vera, glycerin, vitamins B and E and shea butter, that replenish and penetrate deeply into the hair shaft.
Try our Rose Water Molasses Moisture Mask for deep and intense hydration, softness and revitalising dry and brittle curls. Or try our Citrus Superfruit Radiance Mask for an extra added boost of shine, vibrancy and protection.
Flora & Curl Tip: Try applying your deep conditioner with heat. Using a steamer, warm towel or shower cap can help the nutrients penetrate more deeply into your strands.
Even after summer, your curls can still crave hydration in between wash days. A lightweight mist such as our Rose Water Curl Mist will keep curls hydrated and plump, help ease frizz, and help reactivate your curl pattern without the buildup. Spritz throughout the day for an instant pick-me-up.
Flora & Curl Tip: If you need a pick-me-up, or extra boost of hydration throughout the day, carry the hair mist in your bag for extra hydration on the go.
Now that the weather will be changing, it may be tempting to bring out the hair tools. However, after months of sun exposure, your curls need a break. Excess heat styling such as blow drying, straightening, or using curling irons, can worsen the dryness and cause further breakage. Let your curls air dry whenever possible, or if you prefer diffusing, diffuse on a low heat setting and use a form of heat protectant.
With consistent care, your curls can bounce back beautifully from the stresses of summer. Remember to focus on deep hydration in the form of a hair mask, refresh your curls as often as need using a hydrating hair mist, and seal in the moisture, and you’ll notice your curls feeling softer, defined and feeling themselves in no time.
