If you normally blow dry and use hot curling tools every day, try and give your hair a break during the summer month. Consider letting your hair air dry or take time out from curling. Hair braided when wet will air dry into beautiful waves.
When the summer heat is hottest contain potential frizzies by wearing your hair up in a knot, bun or braids. Also, it is good for your hairs if you leave it wet, apply a leave in conditioner, and then braid it. It helps it stay moist and healthy.
Be careful using shine products to control frizzies. They often contain silicone and can coat your hair after just a few times. This will make only make the problems worse in the long run and can make your hair harder to curl.
Be religious about your trims. Make sure you have the ends trimmed every 6-8 weeks during the summer months. When your ends are fizzy, it’s a sure sign that they are either damaged, split or both.
Hanging out in the sun without protection for your hair and scalp is the worst thing you can do. Use leave in hair products with SPF protection when you know you will be in the sun if you are unwilling to wear a hat.
Always try your hair style at home before you try it at a contest.
If your hair is hard to curl, remember it will curl better if it is a bit dirty. Don’t wash your hair directly before you curl it if you can help it. At least let it air dry with some product such as moose in it for it to take a curl the best.
My favorite product for a super hold on "Queen Hair" is Aussie Instant Freeze. Only use this to set your hair for the final look, as it will not curl or change much once it is sprayed.
