Popular Products to Help Minimize Effects of Heat and Humidity this Summer

 

Summertime is one of the most exciting seasons for natural hair. Whether you decide to let your ‘fro fly high or show off your braids, summer is the perfect time to start experimenting with different styles. But the one thing that can put a wrench in your plans, depending on the style that you decide to do, is humidity and heat. If you live in an area with excessive humidity and heat, you may feel like summertime is the absolute worst time for a cute style. Well, don’t worry. We have a few products that will help combat these major hair care challenges.

 

        How to combat the frizz & issues with heat?

           It’s so important to understand what causes frizz to combat it. Frizziness is caused when individual strands of hair change their shape and stop matching other strands. Your hair usually changes shape because it’s swelling in patches on a molecular level that causes frizz. But let’s not forget that the access frizz won’t be your only issue. If you live in a hot area, the heat from the sun and your surroundings can strip moisture from your lovely locs. 

           Now that we know what causes frizz, how do we stop it? To stop frizz it’s important to make sure that your hair is hydrated and secured.  

 

   What products should I use?

You definitely don’t want your hair weighed down during these hot summer months. That’s why we recommend this leave-in conditioner. It’s great for damp or dry hair, and you can use it as needed. With essential ingredients like purified water, jojoba oil, and coconut oils, you can help protect your hair and your beautiful styles.
    Twist and braid-outs tend to be a summertime staple for most naturals. If that sounds like something you’d be interested in, I recommend choosing this hydrating hair cream. Not only will it help you get the hold that you need, but you’ll also add much-needed moisture to your mane.
      We love that the Super Silky Leave-in conditioner has the added ingredients of aloe vera juice and rosemary. These two ingredients are excellent for maximizing curls and quenching thirst. 
        Sometimes moisture isn’t the only way to tame unruly strands. There are times when you need to hold your hair down with a good gel. Using this gel can help lay your edges but it also has some moisture-friendly qualities in it as well. It has ingredients like argan oil, aloe vera, and marula oils to help make your hair look cute and professional.
          If you find that your hair needs a moisture overhaul to prepare for the summer, it’s time to try out Secret Weapon Restorative Hair Treatment by Karen’s Body Beautiful. It’s highly recommended for thick hair (relaxed or natural). It’s great for repairing, restoring, and revitalizing your coils.
