As the weather warms up and we head into another beautiful Australian summer, there’s one thing your curls are absolutely craving — HYDRATION!
Curly hair naturally needs more moisture than straight hair. The shape of the curl means your scalp’s natural oils have a harder time travelling down the strand, leaving your ends thirsty and prone to dryness. Combine that with the heat, humidity, UV exposure, and time spent outdoors, and your curls can quickly start feeling parched.
So, let’s get ahead of it! Here are our three top tips for hydrated, happy curls this summer.
1. Pre-Oil with Hush Nourishing Oil
Before your next wash day, treat your curls to a hydration boost with our Hush Nourishing Oil. Apply it the night before washing or, if you’re short on time, at least 30 minutes before you jump in the shower.
This pre-oil treatment helps protect your strands from the drying effects of cleansing while deeply nourishing the hair. The result? Supple, divine, and completely compliant curls that feel silky and strong from root to tip.
Think of it as your curls’ overnight drink of water — they’ll thank you in the morning.
2. Try the Ponytail Rinse Method
When it’s time to rinse your conditioner, don’t rush to wash it all away! The secret to long-lasting moisture is to leave a little conditioner behind — especially where your hair needs it most.
Gather your hair into a ponytail and rinse, allowing the water to flow through the roots and mid-lengths while keeping some conditioner locked into the drier areas. This method helps keep your roots fresh and buildup-free, while your ends stay soft, hydrated, and defined.
3. Drench & Quench for a Deep Hydration Hit
Even with your routine in check, curls need a little extra TLC from time to time — especially in the warmer months.
That’s where Drench & Quench, our moisture mask, comes in.
This rich, creamy formula gives your hair the deep hydration it craves, helping to restore elasticity and shine while improving the overall feel of your curls. Use it weekly, or whenever your hair feels dry or dull, for that bounce-back moisture your curls love.
Make Hydration a Habit
Hydration isn’t a one-time thing — it’s a lifestyle for curly hair. As the temperature rises, keep these three tips in your routine to maintain soft, nourished, and defined curls all summer long.
Your curls deserve to shine just as bright as the summer sun. ☀️💧
