It can get dried out, frizzy, and damaged. If you need help maintaining your luscious locks in the summer, or if you live in a hot climate, then these tips are for you.

2. Only Wash Your Scalp
The products you shower with can further dry out the damaged hair at the bottom. Your scalp produces lots of oils, so clean up there and then rinse it out so that the products run through gently.

3. Give it a Break
Try not to style your hair too much. Lay off using heat tools and gel products for a couple of days. If you want a style, get something easy like braids. It is summer, your hair deserves a vacation too.
