Curly hair is a vibe—wild, free, and absolutely stunning. But let’s be real: keeping those curls on point through all four seasons is no small feat. Whether it’s battling summer frizz or winter dryness, your curls need some extra TLC to stay fierce and fabulous. Don’t sweat it! We’ve got the ultimate guide from your go-to Boulder hair salon to keep your curls healthy, bouncy, and full of life no matter what Mother Nature throws your way.
🌸Spring: Time to Revive and Thrive
Spring is all about new beginnings, and that means it’s time to wake those curls up from their winter hibernation.
Deep Conditioning Revival
Say goodbye to winter’s dry, dull hair! It’s time to flood those curls with moisture. Grab a deep conditioning treatment that’s packed with all the good stuff—think shea butter, honey, and avocado oil. Try the Kevin Murphy Hydrate-Me Masque, which is perfect for bringing those curls back to life, softer and more elastic than ever.
Clear the Way with a Clarifying Cleanse
Spring cleaning isn’t just for your closet. Your hair needs it too! Once a month, hit those strands with a clarifying shampoo to wash away all that winter buildup. This gives your curls a fresh start and helps them soak up moisture like a sponge. We love the Kevin Murphy Maxi Wash for a deep cleanse that’s gentle yet effective.
Frizz Be Gone
Spring showers might bring flowers, but they also bring humidity—hello, frizz! Keep those curls smooth and frizz-free with a leave-in conditioner or anti-frizz serum. Need a recommendation? Check out the Unite 7SECONDS Detangler for that perfect frizz-fighting finish.
☀️Summer: Protect and Shine, Baby!
Summer means sun, surf, and…dry, frizzy hair? Not on our watch! Here’s how to keep your curls looking hot without the heat damage.
Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate
The summer sun can be brutal, so keep your curls quenched with a lightweight leave-in conditioner or a moisturizing spray. Products with aloe vera gel or coconut water are perfect for adding moisture without turning your hair into a greasy mess. The Arrojo American Wave Elixir is an excellent choice for lightweight hydration that won’t weigh down your curls.
Shield Those Strands
Your hair needs sunscreen too! Protect your curls from UV rays with products that contain UV filters. Or just rock a cute hat or scarf when you’re out in the sun. Kevin Murphy’s UN.TANGLED not only detangles but also offers UV protection to keep your curls safe and sound.
Say No to Heat
It’s hot enough out there—ditch the blow dryer and let your curls air-dry. But if you must use heat, never skip the heat protectant spray! We’ve got your summer curl needs covered with Kevin Murphy’s Heated Defense, which protects and adds volume.
🍂Fall: Strengthen and Conquer
Fall is all about getting strong and cozy, and your curls need a little extra love as the temperatures drop.
Protein Power
Fall is the perfect time to give your curls some protein love. Look for treatments with keratin, silk protein, or hydrolyzed wheat protein to strengthen your strands and prevent breakage. The Cult and King Balm is a great option, rich in plant-based ingredients that fortify your curls while keeping them soft and hydrated.
Scalp TLC
Less humidity means your scalp might start feeling a bit dry and itchy. Exfoliate with a scalp scrub or clarifying shampoo, and then nourish it with a hydrating scalp oil. The Kevin Murphy SCALP.SPA Treatment is your go-to for a healthy scalp and happy curls.
Moisturize and Protect
As the weather cools, switch to heavier moisturizing products. Cream-based leave-ins and oils like argan or jojoba will keep your curls hydrated and defined. Protective styles like braids or twists are also your BFFs this season. Try Arrojo’s Curl Enhancer for that perfect fall curl definition.
❄️Winter: Moisturize, Protect, and Slay
Winter is no joke for curly hair—cold air, indoor heating, and low humidity can leave your hair feeling like straw. But don’t worry, we’ve got the secret sauce to keep your curls soft, shiny, and protected all winter long.
Deep Moisture for the Win
Amp up your deep conditioning game every week during the winter. Look for products loaded with shea butter, olive oil, or glycerin to give your hair that deep moisture it craves. The Arrojo Submerge Conditioner is a winter must-have for keeping those curls lush and hydrated.
Lock in the Good Stuff
After you apply your leave-in conditioner, seal in all that moisture with a heavy oil or butter. Castor oil or shea butter are perfect for creating a barrier that protects your curls from the icy cold air. Kevin Murphy’s YOUNG.AGAIN OIL is an excellent choice for locking in moisture and adding shine.
Get Your Humidity Fix
Indoor heating can dry out your hair and skin, so invest in a humidifier to keep some moisture in the air. It’s a game-changer for keeping your curls hydrated.
Protective Styles FTW
Protect your curls from the cold by wearing hats and scarves—but choose silk or satin-lined options to avoid breakage. Keep those curls safe and stylish all winter long with the help of our Arrojo American Wave products.
