How to Get Your Natural Curls Back from Heat DamageAs the last days of summer draw near, it's time to evaluate the condition of your hair. After spending hours at the beach, at parks and in pools, it's likely you didn't adequately protect your hair from the wind, sun, chlorine, salt water and other environmental stressors that cause curls to appear dry, brittle, brassy and frizzy.We know that all that fun in the sun can have damaging effects on your skin, but the same ultra-violet aging and burning rays (UVA & UVB) can also damage your curls from the cuticle to their core inner structure. Prolonged sun exposure or repeated dips in the pool or ocean, especially for hair that is colored or chemically-treated, causes dry and weak heat damaged curls, making them a breeding ground for split ends.But, not to worry, by following these tips, you can still enjoy the last of your summer activities while protecting the integrity of your curls, bringing back your natural curls and also undoing the damage that has already occurred.Easy Curly Hair Treatment Tips for Summer Heat DamageTrim Your Hair.
