Hey, curlfriends! Today we’re highlighting some top curl care mistakes that we can be tempted to make when the weather is steamy and the beach is calling. Stick with us for some pro advice on what NOT to do and you’ll be smiling in the sunshine all summer long with healthy and hydrated curls, coils or waves! 🌊
1. Don't overlook sun protection for your hair!
Protecting your skin may seem a bit more obvious to some (especially when you forget that one day in early summer and your skin gets a lil’ roasted!) but you also need to protect your hair from the sun. So this mistake actually contains a hidden mistake for protecting your tresses lol. Don’t grab your aerosol SPF spray for your skin and spray it all over your head. Why? Well, many of these products contain alcohol that can dry out your tresses.
DO
Instead, opt for the Hi! Definition Curl Enhancer Styling Gel as the final step in your curl care routine. It is equipped with tomato extract and other nourishing ingredients to protect your tresses from harmful UV rays. Remember that your scalp needs protection too, especially where you part your hair! Grab a cute and summery hat for an added level of protection!
2. Don't go all swim crazy without a detangling plan!
Waterparks, beach days and hotel getaways where everyone just wants to hop in the water — the possibilities are endless in the summer. Watch out though these good times can wreak absolute havoc on your crew’s curls, coils or waves. We’re talking about can’t run a comb through, chlorine-fueled or sand-infused tangle nightmares!
DO
The Aloe Vera Curl Primer is the one product that you want on your next aquatic adventure! It has been proven to cut down on detangling time by 70 percent. This versatile product has many uses and for summer, but we highly recommend using it as a pre-poo detangler on your washday. After a satisfying time in the water, kick off your washday with the primer. You can use warm (not hot water which kicks tangles into high gear). Apply the primer to soaking wet hair and use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb to detangle. You’ll breathe a sigh of relief as you feel the tangles melt away just in time to give your tresses a solid cleanse!
3. Don’t forget that fragrance-free options are ideal for summer
Do you love being outdoors in the summer? Grilling and chilling, waterfall hikes, bonfires with s’mores, camping, or let’s be real maybe glamping is more accurate for many of us, are just a few ways to spend time outdoors. Unfortunately these activities can attract some unwanted attention from annoying bugs!
DO
Thankfully, we offer many fragrance-free options that are less likely to attract those tiny pests! Three fan faves of the 360° Curls Collection are available fragrance-free! So as you prep for your next outdoorsy summertime adventure, be sure to add this trio to your packing list!
4. Don’t skimp on moisture for your parched Summer tresses!
Summer brings sun-filled days and family schedules that can heat up too! Hello, summer camp and swim lessons and don’t forget about that basketball boot camp that you signed up your kids for way back in April! With all the hustle and bustle of summer activities, it can be easy to lose sight of self care and solid curl care too! And what are your textured tresses really craving? Moisture!
DO
A key Soothe & Restore product to hydrate your thirsty curls, coils or waves is the Ultra Moisturizing Deep Conditioner. It’s packed with nourishing ingredients such as Oat Milk, Banana Extract, Turmeric, Vitamin D! During the steamy summer months, we recommend using this product weekly as it will restore balanced moisture, while adding softness, strength, and flexibility back to your natural curls. Letting the deep conditioner work its magic on dry tresses for 25-30 mins. would be the perfect time to squeeze in a lil’ summer self care. Grab that book you’ve been meaning to read forever, light a candle with some vacay vibes and allow the deep conditioner to nourish your worn out curls.
By steering clear of some common curly pitfalls, and relying on the right products for the piping hot season, you’ll radiate curl confidence all summer long! What would you add to the list of summer curl care mistakes? Or what is your fave summertime tip to keep textured hair healthy and happy?

FAQs
Do TréLuxe products work on permed hair?
TréLuxe products are made from gentle, natural ingredients and are safe on chemically-treated strands. Originally formulated with natural curls in mind, our products can hydrate, define and enhance curls of any kind.
Do you offer fragrance-free products?
We do! Three of our most popular styling products: ReFlex Curl Styling Serum and Hi! Definition Curl Enhancer Styling Gel, and Untie the Knot Nourishing Leave-In Conditioner, come in fragrance-free options. We certainly understand that fragrances can be very subjective, and we’re working on developing more fragrance-free product offerings in the future.
Please do note that “fragrance-free” does not always equal “scent-free.” Fragrance-free means that there are no additive fragrances on top of the existing ingredients. However, there is still a scent as a result of the mixing together of all the ingredients.

Yes, we’ve got a few different ways you can take in useful videos and tutorials that include the products in action.
We recently launched an incredible resource! It's called ReelCurls University and is full of helpful how-to videos to provide education and inspiration for curlies, coilies and wavies. We’d highly recommend checking it out!
