Summer Is Here – Is Your Hair Ready?
The heat is on and so is the humidity, sweat, and sun exposure that can wreak havoc on locs and natural hair. But don’t worry: with the right plant-based products and a few smart changes to your routine, your crown can thrive all summer long.
1. Hydration Is Everything
Dry heat and sun exposure can zap moisture quickly. Your locs and coils need extra TLC to stay soft, strong, and vibrant.
Pro tip: Keep a hydration spray in your bag. A few mists throughout the day can make a huge difference.
➡️ For the brothas, try: Locsanity Men's BOLD Moisturizing and Conditioning Daily Spray
– lightweight, plant-based, and perfect for on-the-go use. Expertly formulated with cedarwood, peppermint 🍀, orange blossom 🍊, vitamins, and plant extracts, this spray adds daily moisture
➡️ For the sistas, try: Rosewater Hair and Facial Daily Moisturizing/Refreshing Spray
– Rosewater has been used for centuries as a staple in hair and face care routines. It is known as a powerful toner, moisturizer, blemish reducer, and overall loc refresher. Use it in your loose hair, locs, under your eyes, or anywhere your skin needs soothing and protection.
2. Detox to Remove Buildup and Sweat
Summer sweat = buildup fast. A regular detox will help keep your scalp fresh, clear, and balanced.
Why it matters: Buildup can clog follicles, cause itchiness, or slow down healthy growth.
➡️ Try: Dreadlock Natural Hair Deep Clean Detox and Rejuvenate Dreadlock Powder - ACV Al
– a simple soak or rinse that removes residue without stripping your hair’s natural oils.
3. Protect Your Hair at the Pool or Beach
Saltwater, chlorine, and UV rays can damage your strands and dry out your locs. Always rinse after swimming—and don’t forget to shield your hair.
Options to consider:
-
Use a plant-based oil to coat and protect
-
Wear a satin-lined headwrap or swim cap
-
Rinse with clean water before and after swimming
4. Keep Your Routine Travel-Friendly
Vacay doesn’t mean neglect. Compact, travel-sized products keep your routine intact no matter where you are.
➡️ Try: Locsanity’s Travel Kits – TSA-friendly and packed with loc-safe essentials.
5. Don’t Skip Nighttime Care
Summer nights can still be drying, especially with A/C running all night. Wrap your hair in a satin scarf or sleep on a satin pillowcase to retain moisture and reduce friction.
Bonus: Refresh your scalp at night with a cooling spray to soothe sun-exposed skin.
Your Locs Deserve a Summer Glow-Up
With the right care and the best products for summer locs, your hair can handle the heat in style. Whether you’re heading to the beach or lounging at home, keeping your hair moisturized, protected, and buildup-free will make all the difference.
