Experts Weigh In On the Best Curly Hair Products for Summer

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

As much as we love Summer, the hot and humid temperatures can wreak havoc on curly hair — causing frizz, dryness, and even breakage. But don't worry, there are methods and products that can help maintain bounce and health for your curls.

We had POPSUGAR editors, as well as New York-based hairstylist Emely Miranda weigh in on the best curly hair products for this summer. "Moisture is key," Miranda said. "Using a weekly hair mask and more cream-based products will block out humidity, lock in moisture, and tame curls." She also said that hair should be damp when applying products, as it "helps lock everything in as the hair dries."
