Leave-in conditioner
You can forget about blow-drying during the summertime. Unless you plan on breaking a sweat, I suggest you lay low on the hot tools. Instead wash-and-go with a hydrating formula, like Johnson's No More Tangles Leave-In Conditioner ($4). It keeps hair silky, smooth all day.
Oil up
I've tried my fair share of hair oils and while most of them work wonders they also cost me a lot. Try Garnier Fructis Haircare Triple Nutrition Miracle Dry Oil for Hair Body & Face ($6). It leave hair super shiny all summer long!
Tame your curls
Keep your curls bouncy and frizz-free with a curl-defining cream, like L'Oréal Paris Advanced Hairstyle Curve IT Curl Taming Cream ($5). It keeps your rizos in check.
Do a deep treatment
To keep my hair healthy during the summertime, I make sure to apply a deep conditioning treatment to my strands ever week. I'm obsessed with Neutrogena's Triple Moisture Deep Recovery Hair Mask ($7). It leaves my hair smooth and soft in just minutes. And it's crazy cheap too!
Keep your color on
Want to prevent your color from fading this summer? Make sure to condition with a color-safe treatment, like Clear Scalp & Hair Beauty Therapy Damage & Color Repair ($6).
