The change in weather can seriously impact your style. This is why when heat and humidity start to rise, it’s time to re-think your curl care. During the spring and summer months, there’s more water vapor in the air, which can cause hair to expand and become frizzy. To help combat this, Ashley Brown, Sam Villa Ambassador and Mizani Artist @ash_hairbarbie shares 5 tips that include a combination of humidity-resistant products and a unique blow dry technique with ion generation for silky smooth defined curls.
How To Style Curly Hair During The Summer
- Use the right shampoo and deep conditioner to keep curls hydrated and moisturized. Lack of moisture can cause hair to pull moisture from the elements, creating frizz.
- Make sure curls are completely set and dry before going outside to reduce frizz.
- Using an ionic dryer such as the Sam Villa Professional Light Ionic Blow Dryer also helps to reduce frizz. The built-in ceramic/tourmaline ion generation creates incredible shine and reduces static and frizz, resulting in smooth, sleek finishes.
- A light mist of hairspray can go a long way. Mizani HRM (humidity resistant mist) helps hold curls in place and prevents frizz from showing up. Lightly mist all over.
- Keep touching to a minimum. If it is really humid outside and hair is continuously touched, fingers begin to push moisture/humidity into the hair strand which can cause it to frizz up or go limp.
Steps To Get The Look:
*Pro Tip from Brown: If some curls are a little looser than others and need some assistance. After you set on the brush, roll the curl up and use a pin curl clip to secure to the base of the scalp. Keep it pinned while you diffuse. Release once dry to get a more defined curl that matches the rest.
