Summer is synonymous with sun, swimming, and outdoor activities. However, these summer fun times can be challenging for textured hair, whether wavy, curly, coily, or kinky. Prolonged sun exposure, salty seawater, chlorine from pools, and humidity can leave your hair dry, brittle, and dull.
To revive your hair after vacation, a protein-rich hair ritual is essential. Protein-rich treatments are perfect for repairing hair fibers, strengthening hair structure, and restoring elasticity.
Step 1: Trim damaged ends
After several weeks of sun exposure, your hair may develop dry, split ends. To restore healthy hair and defined curls, it's crucial to trim these damaged ends.
Why is this important?
Split ends don't repair themselves naturally. They must be trimmed to prevent them from spreading further up the hair shaft. This will make your hair even more fragile and less receptive to moisturizing treatments. A quick trim after the summer can help eliminate these split ends and revitalize the overall appearance of your textured hair.
Tip: Visit a hairstylist who specializes in textured hair for a cut that matches your curl shape or hair texture.
Step 2: Perform a hair detox
Buildup of styling product residue, sea salt, or chlorine can make your hair dull and unmanageable. A good clarifying shampoo is essential to deeply cleanse your hair without drying it out.
Why a clarifying shampoo?
After the holidays, it's recommended to start from scratch for a more effective hair routine. Hence the importance of performing a detox, which can be done with a clarifying shampoo.
We offer the For My Curls Clarifying Shampoo with a formula free of sulfates and parabens, which are often harsh on textured hair. This shampoo gently unclogs your hair and removes impurities and product buildup without damaging it. It purifies thanks to cleansing and absorbing plant-based active ingredients such as organic apple cider vinegar and green clay. Your hair will breathe again!
Limit the frequency of shampooing
For thick hair, it is recommended to limit washing to once every two weeks to preserve natural moisture. Between shampoos, use our C o-Wash to gently cleanse your hair without disturbing the balance of the scalp and hair fiber, thus maintaining its moisture.
On the other hand, if you have finer hair, you can opt for washing once or twice a week. If you exercise or have very dry hair, the C o-Wash is perfect for gentle cleansing between shampoos, without the risk of drying it out.
