As the seasons shift, so do the needs of your natural hair.
Whether you’re battling dry air, buildup, or just want a refreshed look, now is the perfect time to revive those curls and coils.
If your strands have been looking a little lackluster lately, don’t worry, we’ve got the foolproof tips to take your natural hair from dull to dewy in no time.
- Start with a clarifying wash
Buildup from products, sweat, and environmental stressors can weigh your hair down and dull its natural shine. Use a sulfate-free clarifying shampoo once or twice a month to gently cleanse your scalp and reset your strands. Your curls will instantly feel lighter and look more vibrant.
- Deep condition for that glow
Moisture is the key to shine, and nothing delivers better than a deep conditioning session. Opt for a mask rich in hydrating ingredients like honey, avocado oil, or shea butter. Apply with heat or steam to help the product penetrate deeply and leave your hair silky, soft, and dewy-looking.
- Spritz with a hydration mist
Keep a lightweight hydration mist or DIY water-and-aloe mix on hand to refresh your curls between washes. A few spritzes can re-activate products, re-shape curls, and bring moisture back into dry strands without weighing them down.
- Try a lightweight oil or shine spray
Natural oils like argan, jojoba, or grapeseed add instant shine and seal in moisture. Warm a small amount in your hands and smooth it over your curls, focusing on the ends. For a quick gloss boost, a silicone-free shine spray can also do wonders.
- Switch up your style
Sometimes, a fresh style is all it takes to revitalize your look. Think twist-outs, braid-outs, roller sets, or even a sleek puff. Play with volume, parting, or accessories to give your hair, and your confidence, a seasonal reset.
Your natural hair deserves care that changes with the weather. By focusing on moisture, removing buildup, and adding a touch of shine, you’ll have dewy, glowing curls that look as fresh as they feel.
