Curls: the right reflexes before swimming
Before going on vacation and therefore, to prepare for a series of swims, it is very important to hydrate your hair well . Between the sun, the sand and the sea, your mane is prone to attack.
To avoid total drying out of your hair fiber, prepare them with nourishing shampoos and treatments .
Once there, and just before each bath, remember to detangle your hair and use a protective oil . These reflexes will allow you to limit attacks from seawater and UV rays . So you can keep your beautiful curls for the evening!
Curls: how to maintain them after a seawater bath?
Once out of the sea, always have the reflex to rinse your hair with plenty of clear water ! This gesture will facilitate the next steps of your hair glow up. In your bathroom, apply a detangling spray and gently remove your knots, using a comb with large teeth, so as not to break your curls .
Once you have taken the time to untangle everything, nourish your hair with care . At Here, we love Garnier's banana mask which can also be used without rinsing . Then place your head down, and define your curls with your hands thanks to the hair plopping technique shown on the Instagram post below. Leave everything to dry ina microfiber towel or cotton t-shirt and you're good to go!
How to protect your curly hair in summer?
HE SUMMER CURLY HAIR GUIDE
The advantage of wearing your natural curly hair is that you no longer fear the slightest splash that could spoil your straightening! Now while on vacation, you can let your curls fly in the wind and dive into the waves without worry! At the beach, at the pool, or for a walk in the sun, your hair is free !
But this freedom can have consequences if you don't take care of your curly hair during this time. To avoid having dry hair like straw at the start of the school year, follow the guide!
Why can hair get damaged during the summer?
As with the skin, the heat of the sun and UV rays are harmful to the hair.
The internal structure of the hair is directly affected by too long exposure to UV. The sun can cause pigment destruction (which is why hair color tends to lighten in summer) similar to oxidation. The hair fiber is damaged and the scales of the hair are no longer strong enough to protect them.

Salt water is often referred to as a solution to texturize hair, give it movement and help shape curls. Many people love their hair after swimming in the sea! We also see a lot of tutorials on YouTube to learn how to create a “beach waves” or “beach curls” look in your hair. Beach hair is a real fashion!
In fact, salt is known as a solution against humidity. The salt crystals absorb all the water from the hair which greatly reduces frizz in the short term. This is why you get beautiful, well - formed curls when you get out of the sea.
But hydration is essential.to keep curly hair healthy! In the long term, since the salt absorbs all the water, the hair is sorely lacking in hydration, which dries out the hair fiber. The salt is very irritating to the scalp and it destroys the scales of the hair which constitute the natural protective barrier of the hair fiber.
As for the chlorine in the swimming pool , these are ultra-chemical products that do nothing good for the hair.

Result of all these assaults? Hair has trouble retaining moisture, it is more porous, drier, brittle and split ends may appear. The curls are therefore softer, less defined and there is a lot of frizz.
How to protect your curly hair in summer?
We are used to protecting our skin with sunscreen, so why should we forget about our hair?
The ideal would of course be to wear a hat or scarf during sun exposure and avoid submerging your head under water. But we said we wanted free hair! There are effective natural products to create a protective barrier around the hair fiber and thus prevent attacks.
Whether it is the sun, salt sea water, chlorinated swimming pool water, wind, sand… All these attacks will have less impact on the hair if the hair fiber is protected.
Vegetable oils
Vegetable oils have exceptional properties for the hair. They penetrate deeply into the hair fiber which strengthens the scales and prevents breakage . Some vegetable oils also have a very effective natural UV filter to protect the hair.
The coconut oil is that which is closest to the natural structure of the hair, therefore it penetrates deeply. The jojoba oil is light, non-greasy, ideal for daily application.
For enhanced protection in summer, the French brand Acorelle has formulated a protective mistspecial hair. Its composition includes the best active ingredients and vegetable oils intended to protect the hair from UV rays, salt and chlorine. Thanks to its very practical format to take to the beach, this protective mist will become the essential product of your summer!

Leave-in creams for curly hair
There are leave-in creams to be applied to curly hair to create a protective barrier around the hair fiber and thus prevent damage.

What routine to adopt at the beach or at the pool?
For optimal protection: apply vegetable oil, mist or cream to your curly hair before exposure or swimming .
Leave your hair loose or tie it up in a bun or in braids. These protective hairstyles are ideal for preventing breakage.
After each swim in salted or chlorinated water, rinse your hair with clean water ! This step is essential. Do not let your hair dry with water that damages the hair fiber.
Take a microfiber towel or cotton t-shirt from your beach bag to gently blot your curly hair.
Reapplyvegetable oil, mist or cream before returning to the sun. Take the opportunity to untangle your lengths with your fingers or a wide-toothed comb to distribute the products evenly.

How to maintain your curly hair in summer?
With the heat, sand, and product buildup in your hair, you're going to want to wash it everyday . But shampooing every day can be long and harsh on the scalp. Fortunately, there are gentler techniques for keeping hair clean while on vacation !
Mild or co-wash shampoos
The co-wash is a gentle method of washing your hair only with conditioner or washing cream . These products are often sufficient to refresh the scalp and curls on a daily basis. They remove impurities from the roots and provide a dose of hydration to the lengths.
Alternately with this method, opt for a very mild shampoo to wash your curly hair gently. In summer, the hair is drier and more sensitive so avoid attacking it with too purifying shampoo.
Pink Paradise Conditioner
Gentle Fragrance Free Conditioner
Curl Cleanser Cleansing Cream
Gentle Shampoo Being in Wick
Sweetie Detangling Moisturizing Solid Shampoo
Aloe Vera Revitalizing Shampoo
Leave-in styling products
During the holidays, we usually apply after-sun lotion to the body when we get out of the shower in the evening. It is necessary to do the same for our hair!
Styling cream, hair milk or styling jelly… keep your usual routine during the holidays!
Kurl Nectar Hair Cream
Boost Curl Hair Jelly
Styling Gel Curl Defining
Hair BB Cream Hair Revealing Milk
Vegan Curl Cream
Ultra-hydrating and soothing, aloe vera gel is a perfect alternative to styling products during the summer to deeply hydrate the hair fiber. Apply the gel to your lengths after showering and let air dry. The hair is soft and the curls are well formed!

How to take care of your curly hair in summer?
In addition to a very gentle daily routine adapted to the summer, it is necessary to do deep care on a regular basis.
Ultra-hydrating care
As you can see, in summer the hair suffers from a lack of hydration because of the many external attacks.
To avoid the straw effect and split ends at the start of the school year, we focus on ultra-hydrating treatments ! I advise you to make a hydrating mask before your departure on vacation in order to strengthen your hair as much as possible.
But you can also take a moisturizer with you and leave a mask on when you get back from the beach ! Apply the treatment to clean, towel-dried hair, leave on for at least 30 minutes up to several hours (you can sleep with it and rinse the next day for example). This is the best way to keep healthy soft hair !
Vegan Hydration Mask
Intensive Moisture Treatment Mask
Be of Wick Hair Mask

And since homemade masks are cheaper and still very effective, here are some ideas for ultra-hydrating recipes !
