How to Keep Hair Hydrated in Summer with Our Hair and Body Butters
The summer months can be brutal for natural hair. With increased heat, humidity, sun exposure, and swimming, our strands face a barrage of drying, damaging factors. Maintaining proper hydration is key to combating frizz, dryness, and breakage when temperatures rise. One of the best ways to hydrate hair during the summer is with ultra-moisturising hair and body butters. Let's dive into how our rich, nutrient-packed butters can be your hair's saving grace all season long.
Why Hair Butters for Summer?
Our hair butters make the perfect warm weather hydrator because of their thick, concentrated formulas that lock in moisture and hydration. Unlike thin leave-in conditioners that can get sticky or evaporate quickly in the heat, butters create a lasting sealant over each strand. Their oils and butters deeply penetrate while providing a protective coating against humidity's frizz-inducing effects.
Hair butters also typically contain fewer liquid ingredients that can dry out in summer's higher temperatures. Their dense textures are heat-stable and less prone to evaporating off strands, ensuring long-lasting hydration and styles that hold up better. Plus, our hair & body butters contain no drying alcohols, silicones, or other irritants - just pure, natural hydrators.
Our hair & body butter ingredients
Our hair & body butters are ideal for summer hydration and protection, our formulas boast these key ultra-moisturising all-stars:
Shea Butter
Shea is the Queen of butters and a supreme sealant for warding off humidity and frizz. It's packed with vitamins A and E, as well as fatty acids that penetrate and seal the hair shaft. Shea's emollient properties provide lasting moisture without buildup.
Mango Butter
With its light yet ultra-hydrating fatty acids, luxuriously whipped mango butter melts into hair to nourish from roots to ends. It gives amazing slip for detangling and has a tropical, beachy scent perfect for summer.
Cocoa Butter
A thick, creamy butter ideal for smoothing and sealing in moisture. Cocoa butter's mild chocolate aroma blends beautifully with other summer scents.
Coconut Oil
No summer hair butter is complete without featherlight, penetrating coconut oil. It prevents protein loss, adds moisture and shine, and smells like a tropical getaway.
How to Use Hair Butters for Summer Hydration
So how exactly do you incorporate hydrating hair butters into your warm weather routine? Here are some key tips:
As a Leave-In Conditioner
Apply a coin-to-quarter sized amount of butter (or more if hair is longer) to clean, damp hair and work through from roots to ends. The butters will melt into a creamy liquid that coats every strand while locking in moisture. For extra hydration, dampen hair and re-apply every few days. The oils and butters will re-liquify and replenish each time.
As a Styler
Hair butters provide amazing lasting hold, definition and hydration for wash n' gos, twists, braids, and other summer styles. Use butter on soaking wet hair, or cocktail a bit of butter into your favorite styler. The butters eliminate crunch and enhance flexibility. Refresh styles by scrunching in a bit more butter each day.
As an Overnight Treatment
For an intensive moisture infusion, apply a generous amount of butter all over clean, damp hair. Cover with a shower cap or towel overnight and rinse out in the morning. Hair will feel revived, supple and hydrated.
Before Swimming
Coat strands with a heavy butter before swimming in chlorinated or salt water. The barrier helps minimise damage and colour fading. Rinse hair thoroughly post-swim and re-apply butter to replace lost moisture.
Seal in Leave-In Conditioners
Use our butter to seal in your favourite hydrating leave-in sprays, milks, etc. The butter traps humectants against the hair so they deliver more intensive, lasting conditioning. An easy way to boost moisture in your normal regimen.
For Sun Protection
Our butters contain ingredients including coconut, mango and shea oils that offer natural UV filtering benefits. Use them pre-styling for an extra dose of sun protection.
Dry Hair Refresher
Mix a dollop of hair butter into a spritz bottle filled with water, aloe vera juice or hair milk. Use this ultra-hydrating mist to revive dry, dull hair instantly or to reactivate and re-hydrate curly styles.
Customise Your Hydration
A key benefit of our hair butters is their versatility - they can be blended with other stylers, used alone, or melted with oil and hydrating add-ins to create custom levels of moisture, hold and consistency.
