So, Summer is here and the heat is on! One of the great perks of going natural, is being able to do low maintenance, no fuss hair styles in any kind of weather. But that doesn't mean that we don't still have to protect our beautiful hair from the heat of the Sun. Here are a few tips that will help you prepare for your day to day encounter with the elements.
- Always, ALWAYS, moisturize your hair. It doesn't matter if you just deep conditioned your hair the night before, make sure when you are doing your styling that you use a leave in, and moisturizer on your hair. The leave in will help protect your hair from heat damage from the sun, and the moisturizer will give your hair that hydration that is needs in order to remain healthy and not become brittle and dry. My leave in of choice is Beautiful Textures Tangle Taming Leave- In
- Use protective styles and/or accessories. A protective style can go a long way and can last for months depending on the style. Micros, Seneglese twists, tuck and rolls, two strand twists, and up do's are all great protective styles that are easy to maintain and will lasts for days, weeks and even months. Some cool accessories to use on a hot Summer's day are silk scarfs, hats or beanies.
Remember its great to get out and enjoy the sun, but its very important and necessary to protect your beautiful hair from getting heat damage.
