Summer hair "must haves"

this is actually my all the time routine, seeing that its pretty much summer time all the time here

1. Spritz --- Plain Aloe Vera or Aloe mixed with herb tea (nettle, burdock root, rose hip)
2. Leave-in --- Pura body murumuru moisture milk, HV whipped ends or moist pro
3. Light oil --- walnut mixed with sweet almond
4. Styler --- SM curling souffle mixed with SM anti breakage mask

 

[Ltown]

IDareT'sHair, here is my list:
1. SM curly milk
2. Infusion23
3. Aloevera spritz with tea
4. Headbands
5. Ecostyler gels

 

[PJaye]

My regimen is the same throughout the whole year. All I will need is conditioner, oils and a creamy mousturizer

THIS! I would also add a detangling shampoo (Elucence MB) and a large octopus clip (to keep it up and out of the way).

 

[alove15]

1) Cowashing conditioner: Giovanni SAS and 50/50
2) DC- Aubrey organics GPB or HSR
3) Moisturizing leave-in: oyin hair dew, kckt
4) Coconut oil
5) hair bands made from tights. Seamless and great for putting my hair up in the heat.

 

[KurlyNinja]

1) Aloe Vera and rosewater/glycerin spritz
2) Castor oil (for my ends since I wear a lot of wngs)
3) flaxseed gel
4) creamy moisturizing leave in
5) seemless hair ties for pineappling and puffs

 

[beautyaddict1913]

1. Conditioners - I will be cowashing almost daily so I'm getting through that gallon of Hairveda, and I'm using up everything else!
2. Gel - Claudies gel is my staple for wet bunning or ponytails
3. Growth aides - I need my hair to touch the back of my knees by the end of the year lol
4. Shower caps (I sleep in the cowash condish nightly)
5. Leave in (Darcy's transitioning creme)
6 co-cleansers (gets the gel out in between wash days)

 

[xu93texas]

Thanks OP for the thread. Great ideas/suggestions. My summer "must haves" are/will be :

1. a steamer (will be purchasing next month)
2. wigs
3. growth aids: jbco, Peppermint Pomade, MN, ayurvedic oils
4. shampoo/DC every 3 days( I have to keep my scalp clean)
5. Macadamia Natural Oil Deep Repair Masque (favorite DC)

Now that it's Warming Up & Getting Hotter Out....

What 3-5 Things i.e. products, tools, hair accessories will you need to make it through the Summer Months.

My List is:

1. Spritzes, spritzes, all kinds
2. Lightweight Cowash Conditioners
3. Hair Lotions/Light Creams
4. Steamer
5. Hair accessories

gel (ecostyler right now but want to go back to using afroveda whipped gelly)

So yeah, i rely on my Suave and V05.

Also...i'm back to my EcoStyler gel bc of the glycerin in it and i just like how it works as a gel

I want to find a nice spritz...i might buy a new bottle of Oyin J&B

2. A non-drying shampoo
