As the temperature rises and humidity levels soar, those blessed with curly locks often face unique challenges. Frizz, dryness, and unruly curls can become more pronounced during summer. But fear not, curly-haired beauties! With the proper care routine and products, you can keep your curls looking fabulous all summer. Let’s dive into some essential tips and product recommendations from R+Co to help you maintain those gorgeous curls.

  1. Hydration is Key

Summer heat can quickly zap moisture from your curls, leaving them dry and prone to frizz. To combat this, focus on hydrating your hair from the inside out. Start with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner duo. R+Co’s TELEVISION Perfect Hair Shampoo and Conditioner are excellent choices, providing hydration without weighing down your curls.

  1. Deep Condition Regularly

Treat your curls to a weekly deep conditioning treatment. This extra boost of moisture will help keep your curls defined and frizz-free. R+Co’s ON A CLOUD Baobab Oil Repair Splash-On Styler is a fantastic option. This lightweight oil treatment nourishes and repairs hair, adding shine and reducing frizz.

  1. Embrace Leave-In Conditioners

After washing, apply a leave-in conditioner to damp hair. This will help lock in moisture and make styling easier. R+Co’s WATERFALL Moisture + Shine Lotion is perfect for this step, providing lasting hydration and shine without weighing down your curls.

  1. Define and Control

Reach for R+Co’s RING TONE Ultra Defining Gel Crème to keep your curls defined in the summer heat. This product helps elongate, smooth, and define curls, adding shine and controlling frizz. It’s especially effective in high-humidity environments.

  1. Protect from Heat

Summer often means more time outdoors, which can expose your hair to damaging UV rays. Before heading out, spritz your hair with a heat protectant like R+Co’s MOON LANDING Anti-Humidity Spray. This product shields your hair from heat and helps control frizz in humid conditions.

  1. Refresh Between Washes

On non-wash days, refresh your curls with R+Co’s SPIRITUALIZED Dry Shampoo Mist. This innovative product absorbs oil and adds volume without leaving chalky residue, perfect for reviving your curls mid-week.

  1. Night-Time Care

Before bed, loosely gather your curls on top of your head in a pineapple-style updo. This helps maintain your curl pattern and reduces frizz overnight. For extra protection, consider sleeping on a silk pillowcase.

  1. Embrace Your Natural Texture

Summer is the perfect time to let your natural curls shine. Instead of fighting against the humidity, work with it. R+Co’s FOIL Frizz + Static Control Spray can help tame any flyaways while allowing your natural texture to take center stage.

Remember, every curl pattern is unique, so don’t be afraid to experiment with different products and techniques to find what works best for your hair. With these tips and R+Co’s fantastic product line, you’ll be well-equipped to rock those beautiful curls all summer!
