Embrace Your Curly Hair at a North Bethesda Hair Salon Near You
Curly hair and hot, humid summer weather don’t mix. Before you place the blame on your parents for giving you the curly hair gene, remind yourself that your friends with straight hair wish they could get your textured locks without using a heating tool. The grass is always greener on the other side, right?
It’s no secret that curly hair requires a little extra maintenance and effort, but there are easy techniques you can use to prevent the humidity from taking over and making your hair a frizzy mess.
Flaunt your curls this summer with some tips from our hair stylists at David’s Beautiful People.
1. Ditch the Styling Tools
Your curls need all the moisture they can get in the summer. This means that it’s probably not a good idea to use hot tools – like straighteners, blow dryers, and hot combs – on your hair, as they can dry out your hair even more.
Instead, embrace your natural curls as much as you can and give them a break from heat styling. Allowing your hair to air dry, rather than blow drying it, can make all the difference when it comes to the moisture of your hair.
2. Wash Your Hair Less
If you’re looking for an excuse to wash your hair less often, this is it. Minimizing your shampoo-use can help with frizz control. When it does come time to wash your hair, use cool or lukewarm water. Unlike warm water, cooler water reduces frizz and doesn’t strip as much moisture from your hair.
3. Use a Deep Conditioner
Though curly hair is already prone to dryness, time in the sun can make it worse compared to the rest of the year. Using a deep conditioner regularly can save the day.
So, what makes them stand out from daily conditioners? They have more moisturizing ingredients and are left on your hair longer. We recommend using the product once a week and leaving it in your hair for about 20 minutes. The curlier your hair is, the heavier you’ll want your conditioner to be.
Curly Hair Cuts and Styles to Rock This Summer
It’s a common knowledge that different hair cuts and styles work better on certain hair textures. Give these trending curly hair cuts a try to maintain and show off your natural ringlets.
A Short Modern Curly Hair Cut
A great haircut will overall make it easier to manage your curls. If you’re looking for a cut that will complement your curls, we’ve got you covered!
A popular style in salons for women is a rounded shape that softly frames your face. Ask your hair stylist to keep the edges blunt so the perimeter is crisp. Your curls will then be cut in clusters to form the shape.
Bob Cut
Take advantage of your curls with this powerful cut. The bob cut uses the natural texture of your hair to enhance your look. Your hair stylist will cut the hair a little above your shoulder and make a frame around your forehead. We recommended you give this one a go if you have a round face shape and want to experiment with angles.
