How to Manage Frizzy Curly Hair in Summer?

When you have naturally frizzy curly hair, summers make them difficult to manage. You want to hit the beach or lounge by the pool, but the humidity combined with high temperatures can make things cumbersome.

Curly hairs tend to have natural volume, creating knots, thus making combing even more difficult. Smoothing out your curly hair during summer doesn’t mean you have to choose any expensive hair treatment.

Proper care, the right product, and the right saloon can make all the difference for stress-free management of your frizzy curly hair this summer. At Salon West, we would like to make the following professional suggestions for managing your frizzy, curly hair when the temperatures rise.

1. Wash More Often

During summer, your curly hairs need more frequent washes. This will help prevent the build-up of sweat and impurities. Remember, build-up is among the primary causes of frizz. Washing more often will also refresh your scalp. 

We suggest getting a conditioner wash or a water rinse to remove sweat and other impurities before you style your hair. The wash should ensure your hair gets clean.

2. Use the Right Shampoo & Conditioner

It is important to choose the right shampoo and conditioner for your hair type. When you have frizzy hair, you must choose shampoo and conditioners with hydrating and moisturizing effects. The product must moisturize your hair and provide them with the desired shine. It is better to use a conditioner instead of a shampoo. Use it between washings to moisturize your hair.

When choosing a shampoo, look for something mild and have low lather. 

• Wash your hair in sections by clipping away parts or twisting to avoid tangles. Use the same technique when rinsing.
• Use a tiny amount of the product for each section
• Avoid scrubbing to prevent hair damage

3. Apply Heat Protectant Before Styling

There are different ways to apply heat to your hair. This includes using a:

• Straightener
• Blow-dryer
• Curling iron/wand

Whatever you use, make sure to apply heat protectant before heat application. The purpose of styling products is to create a layer between the heating appliance and your hair. This helps prevent heat damage, keeping your hair healthy.

4. Use the Right Hair Styling Product

Your frizzy curly hairs need special hair styling products. The ideal product should have the following attributes:

• Provide effortless finish, no matter whatever style you prefer
• Something lightweight that doesn’t make the hair sticky or stiff
• Adds texture to your hair by removing frizz and smoothing the flyaways
• Should hydrate and soften your hair and provide protection from UV rays

At Salon West, we use the best and most trusted products in the market for providing high-quality results to our clients. For example, we use only the top-ranked and award-winning hair shine and styling sprays.

Besides these tips, we suggest using a t-shirt towel when drying and styling your hair. Conventional terrycloth towels can cause various problems including frizz, friction, and breakage. It is recommended to maintain your frizzy hair’s moisture using the right products. This will help keep your curls together.
