Go for a fuss-free cut this summer.
We all know the feeling. You’ve spent what feels like forever in front of the mirror—twisting, scrunching, diffusing, layering on just the right mix of curl cream and gel—only to step outside and have the humidity ruin it all in seconds. The frizz takes over, your defined curls lose their shape, and suddenly, that picture-perfect hair moment becomes a puffball of chaos.
The truth is, summer doesn’t play nice with curly strands. Between the heat, humidity, UV rays and sweat, your hair’s texture and moisture levels take a serious hit. Even your trusty lineup of products can start to feel way too heavy—or like they’ve stopped working altogether. Throw in a few pool days and sun-soaked afternoons, and suddenly that winter styling routine feels completely out of touch with what your curls actually need right now.
