Your Guide to Maintaining Healthy, Defined Curls All Year Round

Caring for curly hair is a year-round commitment that requires the right techniques, products, and a little bit of patience.

Whether it’s battling the dryness of winter or the humidity of summer, maintaining healthy, defined curls can be a challenge.

But with the right approach, you can keep your curls looking fabulous no matter the season.

Here’s your ultimate guide to year-round curl care.

Winter: Combatting Dryness

Tip: Cold weather can dry out your curls, so it’s important to keep them moisturised. Use a deep conditioning mask weekly and switch to a heavier leave-in conditioner to lock in moisture.

Product Recommendation: Try a shea butter or argan oil-based conditioner to nourish your curls during the winter months.

Spring: Revitalising Your Curls

Tip: Spring is a great time to refresh your curls after the dryness of winter. Consider a trim to get rid of split ends and a protein treatment to strengthen your hair.

Service Suggestion: Book a Curly Dry Cut at Allure Salon to revitalise your curls and keep them in shape for the upcoming warmer months.

Summer: Battling Humidity

Tip: Summer’s humidity can cause frizz, so use anti-humidity products that help seal your hair’s cuticle and prevent frizz.

Styling Technique: Try plopping your hair with a microfibre towel to enhance curl definition and reduce frizz.

Autumn: Preparing for Cooler Weather

Tip: As the weather cools down, start incorporating heavier creams and oils into your routine to prep your curls for the upcoming cold.

Routine Adjustment: Consider adding a leave-in conditioner with more weight to keep your curls hydrated.

Year-Round Essentials:

Regular Trims: Keeping your curls in shape with regular trims prevents split ends and maintains the integrity of your curl pattern.
