Protect Your Hair Before It Gets Burnt
Summer comes with all the vibes, pool days, beach trips, brunches on the patio, but be honest: that heat can have your hair stressed if you don’t give it some extra love. For the Grow Your Edges Back community, summer is about blossoming in your hair journey while avoiding breakage and dryness battles.
THE HEAT IS NOT YOUR HAIR’S FRIEND
Between the sun’s UV rays, humidity, sweat, saltwater, and chlorine, your strands are getting hit from every direction. This can lead to:
- Dryness and brittleness
- Color fading
- Split ends and breakage
- Frizz and loss of definition
- Scalp irritation
The combination of heat and humidity breaks down the hair’s protein structure, causing weak spots that make strands more prone to snapping. And if you’re already growing your edges back? You definitely don’t want the summer working against all that progress.
HEAT PROTECTION IS YOUR SUMMER HAIRCARE POWER
Just like you wouldn’t lay out in the sun without sunscreen, your hair needs that same level of protection. Heat protection shields your strands from UV damage, moisture loss, and those sneaky humidity frizz attacks.
DAILY PRACTICES TO KEEP YOUR HAIR GROWING
- Cover Up: Rock hats, scarves, or protective styles when you're spending long hours outside.
- Hydrate Daily: Moisturizing mists and leave-ins keep your strands flexible and less likely to snap. The GYEB Leave-In Conditioner is clutch for adding daily hydration, especially for protective styles and natural textures exposed to heat and humidity for adding daily hydration, especially for protective styles.
- Oil Sealing: Light layers of the GYEB Growth Oil help seal in moisture and add a layer of protection from the elements without weighing your hair down.
- Gentle Cleansing: Wash away sweat, salt, and chlorine with sulfate-free shampoos to avoid stripping your natural oils.
- Edge TLC: Keep those edges soft and laid with GYEB Edge Control, which offers moisture and hold without the flaking and buildup.
INGREDIENTS THAT HELP YOUR HAIR BEAT THE HEAT
Look for products packed with:
- Aloe Vera: Hydrates and soothes the scalp.
- Jojoba Oil: Mimics natural scalp oils and locks in moisture.
- Vitamin E: Provides antioxidant protection and supports healthy strands.
- Argan Oil: Smooths frizz and shields from UV damage.
- Castor Oil: Strengthens and supports growth (hello, edges!).
All of these powerhouse ingredients can be found throughout the GYEB product line, because we don't just want your hair to survive summer, we want it to flourish.
Summer is your time to shine. With a little extra care, your crown can stay hydrated, strong, and snatched no matter how hot it gets. Keep that heat protection in your routine, stay consistent, and let your hair show out all season long.
