It’s almost summer and you may be wondering how to best care for your child’s hair through summer activities such as swimming and trips to the beach. Not to worry, we’ve got you covered.
Protective styles: Twists and braids are ideal for summer because they help to prevent tangles and limit the amount of chlorine that is absorbed by hair strands while swimming.
Co-wash: If you frequent the beach or have your children enrolled in swim classes, you’ll notice that their hair needs to be washed more often. Too much shampooing will strip the hair of its natural oils, but you may co-wash as frequently as you’d like. Our Avocado + Cucumber Cleansing Conditioner can be used daily.
Moisturize and seal: Hours spent in the sun can be extremely drying to natural hair. You can combat this dryness by spritzing the hair with water on a daily basis, following up with a refresher spray such as our Hydrating Leave-In Conditioner, and a sealant such as our Avocado + Aloe Sealing Oil.
Deep Condition: If your child will allow, deep conditioning is a great way to keep curls moisturized throughout the summer months.
Swim Cap: Whenever possible, use a swim cap.
