The Best Summer Hairstyles For Ladies With Curls
What’s a curly haired girl to do to stay fabulous in the summer?
Just because the heat and humidity is out, it doesn’t mean you should let your self-presentation go. The summer time is no excuse to look lazy or have bad hair days. Remember to always look presentable, no matter the weather, season or place. A part of being fabulous is to stay up kept. Black girls worry about their mane in the summer weather because of the humidity and heat that can cause their afro- textured hair or natural hair to frizz out of place. Black girls don’t always want to wear their hair natural especially with all the styles possible. You can go curly, straight, wavy, and much more, so why limit yourself? The answer to that question is because curly haired girls don’t want to worry about walking outside with perfectly styled hair, then enter an event with a horrendous mane. You want to walk around this summer with self-assurance and a glow that lights up any room you walk in. Instead of walking straight to the bathroom when you get to an event, you can walk straight onto the main floor and mingle. There’s no need to constantly ask your friends if your hair is frizzing up or sweating out when you have the perfect summer hairstyle.
GOING STRAIGHT
No problem! Get a weave or a wig! There’s nothing wrong with a weave, as long as you love your hair without it. When you are psychology attached to weave it is a self-esteem problem because you can’t feel good without it. Wigs are to a bad hair day, what make-up is to a bad break out. They are a great temporary go to when you need a quick fix. It can be fun to up your hair style and experiment with makeup but always remember to take care of your natural beauty. Strive to better yourself natural by eating healthy, and drinking lots of water to keep your body hydrated this summer. Massaging essentials oils (try argon oil, caster oil, almond oil, avocado oil, olive oil and the old and faithful coconut oil) into your scalp and hair ends will add more protection under your wigs also. A weave is a great way to protect and aid in hair-growth through the summer weather. There are unlimited textures and colors to play with. This is the best way for black girls to have straight hair without over treating it with chemicals or straighteners. Weaves allow straight hair styles to last longer then 2 weeks, if even that long. Closures are great for styling with weave because you don’t have to worry about your edges sweating out or curling up. A weave limits the amount of heat damage to your real hair, avoids over processed hair and allows your stair hairstyle to stay “on fleek”.
BRAIDS GALORE
Braids are easy to keep for the summer especially if you sleep on satin sheets. If you don’t have satin or silk sheets wear a hair tie that’s close to these materials. Covering your hair at night prevents from split ends and dry, frizzy hair. There are several braided hairstyles to choose from: plates, box braids, plated twists, twist outs, or fish tail. Braids are also good styling techniques for curls or wavy hair because when you unravel them they look fabulous darling.
Finally, The How To: TWIST/ BRAID OUTS
Wash your hair. Then deep condition your hair, keeping a cap on for at least 20 min to fully penetrate the hair follicle. (Use natural products on your hair because the delicate follicles can strip and create split ends from harsh chemicals) Next rinse and apply leave in conditioner for extra moisture, smoothness, and shine. Plate braids or twists however way you want your hair to fall when unraveled. Sleep with a silky hair tie. Lastly, gently unravel the braids and fluff out to your desired fullness. You can spritz hair sheen after styling. Braid outs last long from the moisturized hair being gathered into a pattern. When you’re out enjoying a hot summer day, your hair pattern will stay longer than if you were to do a wash and go.
