Miami is always a popular summer vacation destination for those who need a little time to get away and let their hair down. For those who have natural hair, the Miami rain, humidity and other outside elements can lead to frizz and potentially ruin your curls or straightened style. Here are four ways to maintain your natural hair in the Miami heat so you will have no worries when strutting your stuff at the beach. –mckenzie harris
Wash and Go
This is probably one of the easiest styling options that literally takes two simple steps — wash and go. Wash your hair and apply a curl definer like Design Essentials Natural Defining Creme Gel to give your curls some definition and eliminate frizz. If you naturally have tighter curls, you can try a curl-stretching cream to give you a looser look.
Accessorize
Leave the baseball cap for your work out, and, instead, grab a cute fedora hat to cover your locks. In Miami, it’s almost guaranteed to rain at least once a day, so a cute hat is the perfect solution to a little beach drizzle. If hats aren’t for you, then try grabbing two small sections from the front of your hair and braid or twist them individually. Pull them back in the form of a crown on your hair and secure them together in the back with a bobby pin, and you are ready to hit South Beach.
Chic Braids
Solange has given braids a fresh revival. Braids are a no-fuss solution to battling mother nature while still looking cute. You can rock the individual braids or sport some simple cornrows. Try adding some hair to your cornrows to give you more length for a fun approach.
Rock Extensions
Extensions can be a girl’s best friend at both the pool and the beach. Human and virgin hair extensions offer you plenty of style options as far as your tresses go. Choose a curly style that matches the texture and pattern of your natural curls. By doing this, you won’t have to worry about the human hair blending with yours, the hair left out around your edges will give you options to wear it up or down, and, best of all, you can get in and out of the water with no worries about your mane.
