Summertime is around the corner and our curls know it! When it starts warming up, many of us want to change things up and give our curls that sun kissed look. If you want to highlight your hair but have fears, I have good news for you! Highlighting curly hair can be done in a safe way to minimize damage but there is always risk for the curls to change a little. Luckily for us there are great aftercare options to maintain the health of your highlighted curls and minimize breakage and frizz.
Below are my top 3 tips to care for your highlighted curls:
- Deep condition once per week: Olaplex #8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask is my favorite to moisturize, smooth and keep the curls shiny.
- Protect your curls while sleeping use a satin pillowcase and a satin scrunchy or a bonnet to protect your curls at night.
- Try to minimize the amount of times you wash your hair per week. Once per week is ideal, twice if you work out a lot or work outdoors. Washing your hair too often will dry your curls out and potentially lead to breakage.
Follow these easy tips and your highlighted curls will look and feel beautiful all Summer long!
