A guide to wearing your hair curly in the Summer

It’s that time of the year again, when the sun is hot and our curls are bang on trend! Curls are made for summer, especially when we don’t have the wind and rain to worry about. But if you prefer your curls up and out of the way on those hot summer days, then accessories and updos are your best friend. Only Curls have got the perfect tools to help see you through.

The most important step is to keep your hair hydrated in the heat. Curls just love moisture, so make sure to use our Hydrating Curl Creme on wash days to keep your hair smooth and frizz-free. You can even use a little Enhancing Gel to keep frizz to a minimum between wash days. The gel is great for locking in moisture and creating smooth styles. It’s also fantastic to use for defining the front pieces of your hair. Simply dampen the hair and apply a little gel, then finger coil and scrunch for lovely definition. You can gently diffuse for a couple of minutes to help the curls last.

One of the simplest and most effective ways of keeping your hair back is clips. Only Curls have so many to offer. From our shimmer clips to our colourful confetti designs, you’re sure to find the one for you. They’re designed with curly hair in mind to cause the least amount of damage to your hair. Why not try twisting the front pieces of your hair back, securing with a clip or two? Or use them to jazz up your everyday pineapple/curly bun. Check out the video for some simple but fun ideas…

Take a look at our tie-front pineapple protector. It’s so versatile! Not only can it protect your curls while you sleep, it can be used to create some beautiful hairstyles. You can use it to tie up your hair in a loose side ponytail, or use it as a stylish hairband.

One of our favourite styles at Only Curls is using the protector as a tie headband with a high ponytail or curly bun. It creates the perfect vintage look. The best thing about the protector is its gorgeous satin material. Designed to protect curls from frizz and friction, the pineapple protector will keep your hair soft and defined throughout the day. No more will you have to worry about curls being ruined with tight hair bobbles or hairbands!

When you venture outside to enjoy the glorious sunshine, the best way to protect your curls is to cover up with a pretty silk scarf or one of our very popular satin-lined baseball hats. Scarves are a glamorous way of protecting our hair in the heat. They’re also great for adding style and class to some gorgeous updos. You can try a whole new look and add some faux bangs with a beautiful printed scarf and a high bun or pineapple.

Our baseball hats are designed specifically to protect curly hair. They’re the perfect match for your high ponytail or bun. They come in a range of colours and are lined with soft satin to ensure frizz-free curls. The hats are even adjustable so suitable for curls of all shapes and sizes.
