How to care for curly hair in summer?

Summer is that magical time of sun, beach, and outdoor activities. But it can also become your hair's worst enemy if you don't take proper care of it. We'll tell you how to keep your curly hair healthy and spectacular all season long.

Summer and curly hair: a combination that needs attention

When it comes to caring for curly hair in the summer, it's not just a question of aesthetics. Sunlight, chlorine from the pool, and salt water combine to create an aggressive cocktail for your hair.

The sun , for example, lifts the hair cuticle, causing dehydration, loss of shine, and increased fragility. It's like a "natural dehydrator" that also dulls color. Chlorine , meanwhile, unbalances the scalp and leaves residue that diminishes curl definition. And salt water , while we love that "beachy" texture, is also drying and creates a film that prevents hair from absorbing moisture.

Daily protection: like sunscreen… but for your hair

You wouldn't consider going to the beach without putting on sunscreen, would you? The same should apply to your hair. A hair protector creates an invisible barrier that protects against UV rays, chlorine, and salt.

Two must-haves for this summer:

• Repair Mask Luc Color hair protector : ideal if you are looking for hold and protection in a single application.
• Gyada Thermoprotector Strengthener with Spirulina : light, strengthens and protects without weighing down.

Give back to your hair what the sun takes away: proteins

In summer, curly hair loses more than just water: it also loses protein. And without it, the hair structure weakens. That's why this is the perfect time to incorporate products rich in plant-based proteins and amino acids .

Our favorites for resilient curls:

• Curly Superglow Mask with Alma Secret proteins : with rice protein and vegetable keratin, it moisturizes and strengthens.
• My Protein Wonder Conditioner : ideal for weightless softening.
• Kerantea Peter Slim Total Protein : a deep reset for severely damaged hair.
• Gyada Anti-Frizz Conditioner : a blend of nutrition, hydration and anti-humidity boost.

And what shampoo do I use in summer?

It all depends on your daily routine.

• If you live in a city or don't get much exposure, choose a gentle, low-poo shampoo to maintain your scalp's balance.
• But if you spend hours in the sun, pool or sea, you'll need a more powerful product like Hibiscus Detox Shampoo , which deeply cleanses and removes sunscreen, salt and chlorine residue without damaging your skin.

Don't underestimate the power of a hat (or a scarf)

Physical protection remains one of the most effective. A wide-brimmed hat or scarf not only gives you a perfect summer look , it also acts as a shield from the sun's rays. Especially during peak hours, covering your hair can make all the difference.

Conclusion: Your curls can enjoy the summer… if you take care of them

A curly summer doesn't have to be a constant battle with frizz, dryness, and loss of shape. With the right care, your hair can continue to shine in every dip, every walk, and every starry night.

Hydrate, strengthen, protect... and enjoy. Your hair will thank you.
