Summer Hair Wellness Tips

How to Protect, Hydrate, and Style Your Hair in the Heat


Summer is here, and so is the heat. That means it’s time to adjust your hair routine—because what worked in cooler weather may not cut it now. Between the humidity, sun exposure, sweat, and chlorine, your curls are dealing with a lot.


Here’s what you need to know to keep your hair healthy, hydrated, and easy to style all summer.

What Is Summer Hair Stress?


Summer hair stress happens when your strands get hit with heat, sun, and sweat on repeat. This dries your hair out and weakens your ends. Throw in chlorine or saltwater, and things get worse fast.


What Causes It?


  • UV rays break down protein in the hair strand

  • Humidity can swell the hair shaft, causing frizz

  • Sweat builds up on the scalp and leads to itching or irritation

  • Chlorine and saltwater strip moisture and damage your cuticles

  • Overwashing can dry out your curls if you’re not moisturizing properly

Real Questions from a Subscriber


Q: “Do I need to rinse my hair with cold water or warm water in the summer?”

A:Use warm water to shampoo—it lifts dirt and oils. Use cold water to rinse conditioner—it seals your cuticle and reduces frizz.


How It Affects Your Hair & Scalp


You’ll likely see:

  • Frizz and loss of curl definition

  • Dry, brittle ends

  • More breakage or split ends

  • Itchy or flaky scalp

  • Difficulty holding styles

You might also notice dry skin or weak nails if you're not staying hydrated—internally and externally.


What to Look For


If your curls feel crunchy, your roots itch, or you’re losing more hair than usual, summer is probably the reason. Pay attention if:

  • You’re sweating more than usual

  • You’re outside more often

  • Your styles aren’t lasting as long

  • Your scalp feels coated, but your hair feels dry

Boostie Wash Day Reminder


Stick to your bi-weekly wash day. We recommend alternating:

  • Week 1: Use the Starter Kit – Clarify and deep condition

  • Week 3: Use the Moisturizing Kit – Hydrate and nourish

    (Repeat every two weeks)

Customer Testimonial

Aniya, Boostie since 2020

💬 “Before switching to bi-weekly, I was washing too much. I thought I needed clean hair every week, but my curls were dry and frizzy. Now they’re soft and defined.”


Styling That Works in the Heat


Protective styles aren’t just for looks—they help protect your strands from heat and moisture loss.


Styles to Try:


  • Flat Twists into a Bun or Low Puff – Keeps hair off your neck

  • Two-Strand Twists or Twist-Outs – Versatile and easy to refresh

  • Braided Crown or Cornrow Styles – Keeps ends tucked away

  • Wash & Go with Styling Foam – Lightweight, frizz-fighting definition


🎯 Tip: Use our Step 7 Styling Foam on damp curls to keep things light but controlled. Perfect for humidity.

Summer Must-Haves from Nae Nae’s Naturals


🧴 Step 1: PURIFY Clarifying Shampoo

Use at the start of summer or after chlorine exposure. Helps remove buildup without drying your hair.

🧴 Step 4: REPAIR Hair Mask

Use it every other wash day for strength and bounce. Especially helpful after pool days or lots of sun.

🧴 Step 5: NOURISH Leave-In Conditioner

Light enough for summer, strong enough to hold moisture.

🧴 Step 6: HAIR BOOST Salve

Apply at night to seal in moisture, especially on ends and scalp.

    Tasha B.

    💬 “I used to skip the deep conditioner in summer thinking I didn’t need it. Wrong. That REPAIR mask gave me my shine back.”



    Quick Tips You May Have Forgotten


    • Always use a satin scarf or bonnet, even in hot weather

    • Don’t apply oils to dry hair—always apply to damp hair

    • Use a spray bottle with water + leave-in to refresh between washes

    • Rinse with cold water after conditioner for smoother curls

    • Avoid gels with alcohol if your hair feels dry

    • Drink water—your hair needs internal hydration too

    Real Questions from a Subscriber


    Q:  “Is it okay to skip wash day when it’s too hot?”

    A: Only if you refresh properly. Use a lightweight mist or rinse with water. But don’t skip too many weeks, especially if your scalp is sweating daily.
