Every season brings new adventures and fun but also a change of beauty routines for naturals trying to keep their hair healthy all year round. Spring and summer temperatures mean different treatments and styling for natural hair- but it doesn’t have to be a stress inducing change. Summer hair can be fun but for 4C girls it also might mean a little more attention to your hair to prevent summer shedding and breakage!

With Spring and Summer come hotter temperatures, beach and pool trips, and a lot more sweating. Whether the sweat is coming from lazy days in the sun or last minute work on that beach body, your scalp will definitely feel the difference. Sweat means sebum and dirt buildup so you will need to cleanse your hair down to the scalp more frequently. A good way to keep your scalp clean without drying out your naturally dry texture is to regularly cowash. You can pick up our Coconut Crème CoWash online at Target.com, or just swing by your local Dollar General or Family Dollar.

The plus side in warmer temperatures is that you don’t have to worry as much with deep conditioning. You can move your treatments to every 2 weeks and safe a little time. Don’t skip on the trimming though! Summer is absolutely the best time to get a regular trim and get rid of damaged ends and get your shape right again.

Short on style time? No problem. Moisture is always the most important tool for a a 4c naturalista, but heavy butters will be less necessary (especially if you already live in the humid south!) Our Coconut Whipped Creme Leave-In Conditioner is the perfect blend for locking in moisture without feeling too heavy this summer.

Wherever summer takes you, make sure you throw a little Bella Curls in your bag and have the best 4c hair on the sandblock!
