Afro Hair Care in Summer

The Best Ways to Look After Afro Hair in the Summer: Essential Tips from Karen Wright Hair Salon in Croydon

Summer brings warmer weather and plenty of sunshine, but it also poses unique challenges for afro hair. The intense heat and UV rays can cause dryness, frizz, and damage to your beautiful curls. To keep your afro hair healthy and vibrant during the summer months, it's essential to take proactive measures. In this blog, we explore the best summer afro hair care tips and tricks to keep your hair looking fabulous...

Protecting Your Afro Hair from the Summer Sun

One of the best ways to protect your hair is by using Davines' SU Hair Milk. This lightweight leave-in treatment provides UV protection and nourishment, shielding your strands from harmful rays. Apply a generous amount of SU Hair Milk to your damp hair before heading out in the sun. Not only will it safeguard your hair from UV damage, but it will also add hydration and prevent frizz.

Hydrating Your Afro Hair with Moisture-Rich Products

Moisture is key when it comes to caring for afro hair in the summer. The heat can strip away moisture, leaving your curls dry and brittle. To combat this, incorporate hydrating products into your hair care routine. Davines' Love Curl range is a fantastic option to keep your afro hair well-hydrated and defined. This curl-enhancing cream is enriched with nourishing ingredients like almond extract and shea butter.

Love Curl will deeply moisturise your hair, tame frizz, and enhance your natural curls, giving you a stunning summer-ready look.

 

Essential Tips for Afro Hair Maintenance in the Summer

Gentle Cleansing and Detangling Techniques

During the summer, it's crucial to cleanse and detangle your afro hair gently to prevent breakage and damage. Start by using a sulfate-free shampoo like Davines' Naturaltech Nourishing Shampoo and haircare range. This gentle yet effective shampoo cleanses your hair without stripping away its natural oils. 

After washing, use a wide-tooth comb or a detangling brush to gently remove knots and tangles, starting from the ends and working your way up. Be patient and avoid aggressive brushing, as it can lead to hair breakage.

 

Deep Conditioning for Nourishment and Repair

Afro hair tends to be more prone to dryness and damage, especially during the summer. To counteract this, regular deep conditioning treatments are essential. Davines' NOUNOU Hair Mask is a fantastic choice to provide deep nourishment and repair to your afro hair. 

Regular use of the NOUNOU Hair Mask will help restore vitality, softness, and manageability to your afro hair, keeping it healthy and radiant all summer long.
