Getting Kinky: Summer Natural Hair Products

Hi everyone! So a couple weeks ago I brought you 5 ways to jazz up your hair for the summer. Today I want to talk about products you should use during these hot humid/dry days ahead of us. The key, as in winter, is to keep your hair hydrated, but it’s especially crucial in the summer as our hair is usually exposed to the elements more from going to the beach/pool, street festivals, road trips, etc.

There’s a lot more your hair has to handle during the summer months and though you want your hair to be moisturized, don’t over-weigh it with products, that’s no fun for you or your hair in 80+ degree heat. So continue on below and check out so summer products and tips for you to use these next few months!

Natural Hair Summer Leave-in Conditioners

1. AG Hair Cosmetics Fast Food 2. Kinky Curly Knot Today 3. Curly Hair Solutions Curl Keeper 4. Oyin Handmade Hair Dew 5. Mixed Chicks Leave-in Conditioner

Leave-in conditioners are important as they give that extra boost of moisture after you cleanse your hair. Some summer tips, put leave-in conditioner in your hair before taking a dip into the ocean or a pool, it’ll help keep your hair from absorbing too much salt or chlorine. After your fun in the sun, rinse your hair out and put more leave-in condish back on it to keep it from getting dried out.

Natural Hair Summer Stylers
1. Curl Junkie Curls in a Bottle 2. Mop Top Light-Hold Anti-Frizz Gel 3. As I Am Curling Jelly 4. DevaCare Arc AnGEL 5. Darcy’s Botanicals Avocado & Honey Twisting Cream

When styling your hair, switch to lighter products like gels and jellies, they’re a perfect addition over leave-in’s as they’re not heavy and will still help seal the moisture in your hair. Try to avoid using hair dryers, flat irons, curling irons, and other heat styling as much as possible as you’ll already have the heat from the endless sunshine on your hair.
Natural Hair Summer Cleansing Conditioners
1. JessiCurl Hair Cleansing Cream 2. Blended Beauty Curl Cleansing Conditioner 3. Wen Sweet Almond Mint Cleansing Conditioner 4. Curl Junkie Daily Fix Cleansing Conditioner

Shampooing should be kept to a minimum as over cleansing can quickly dry your hair out and make it brittle. Try using a cleansing conditioner instead to keep your hair clean, moisturized, and healthy!
Natural Hair Summer Deep Conditioners
1. MYHoneyChild Olive You Deep Conditioner 2. Curl Junkie Hibiscus & Banana Deep Fix 3. Aubrey Organics Blue Green Algae Conditioning Mask 4. DevaCurl Heaven in Hair 5. Spiral Solutions Deeply Decadent Moisturizing Treatment

More exposure to the elements means more deep conditioning! You should try and do a treatment once a week depending on how dry your hair gets.
And there you have it! All these products can be found on NaturallyCurly’s Curl Mart. Hope everyone has a great day!

‘Till Next Time…

    What’s so funny is that I’m actually going to buy a leave-in conditioner later today. I think I’ll get either Mixed Chicks or Knot Today. Also might pick up one of those cleansing conditioners. Awesome, awesome post!
