Minimize Heat Styling:
Summer is the perfect time to embrace heat-free styling options. Minimize the use of heat styling tools like flat irons and blow dryers, as they can cause damage and dryness. Opt for air drying or try heatless styling techniques such as braid-outs, twist-outs, or bantu knots to achieve beautiful curls without heat. Or curly styles such as wash and gos, curly ponytails, and curly puffs. You can achieve these styles using the Tailored Beauty Perfect Coils Curling Jelly or Curl Antidote Curling Cream.
