Confession time: I don’t take care of my hair. There. I’ve said it. I wash and use conditioner, and that’s about it. I’m not proud of the way I treat my hair. Particularly in the summer time. I want to change that. I’ve been following some YouTubers and bloggers that give tips on how to care for your natural hair (in my case, afro-textured hair), and I’m implementing these tips and hope to see results soon. Today I wanted to share some simple tips for taking care of your hair in the summer. Stick around till the end; I’m also sharing my personal review on the HASK Hair Care.
Tips For Taking Care Of Your Hair In The Summer + HASK Hair Care Review
Use Protective Styles
In the afro-textured hair world, everyone knows about protective styles. Protective styles mean hair styles that don’t leave your hair out loose. Styles such as braids, weave, crochet, etc. My favorite protective styles are braids and twists. I also love these styles because they are low maintenance.
Moisturize Your Scalp & Hair
It’s easy to forget to keep your hair moisturized if you are not used to taking care of it (guilty!). You can moisturize your hair using your favorite hair moisturizing creams and oils. My sister likes to mix Jojoba oil with some African Shea Butter. A new favorite is the Monoi Coconut Oil Nourishing Shine Hair oil from HASK. I like this oil, it’s not heavy on my locks and is alcohol-free!
Cover Up
You can do that with a hat, a bandana a cute scarf. Covering your hair from the sun in the summer will keep your locks from drying out. For those following me on social media, you’ve seen my hair in a scarf before. I also love wearing my fedora hat in the summer. In the picture below I’m extra careful with a hat AND a protective style!
HASK Hair Care Review
One of the perks of blogging is trying new products in exchange for a review. My sister currently works at a beauty supply store, and she knows way more about hair care than I do. When I received my HASK Monoi Coconut Oil package, I told her about it, and she was the first one to try it. She’s heard about HASK before and has used their products. She loves HASK products and after trying the shampoo and conditioner, I’m hooked too! The nourishing shine hair oil does wonder for my dry hair.
But by far my favorite product would have to be the Nourishing Deep Conditioner. I rarely ever deep conditioned my hair and I’ve been missing out. After using the Monoi Coconut Oil Nourishing Deep Conditioner, my hair felt silky smooth.
HASK uses “exotic oils and other unique ingredients from around the world.” Oils such as Argan Oil, Monoi Coconut Oil, Charcoal Citrus Oil, Macadamia Oil, Keratin Protein Oil (just to name a few).
My overall experience using the HASK hair care products is very positive. What other tips can you share about taking care of your hair in the summer? Let me know in the comments.

I will have to look into these products. This summer I’ve been doing more braids and twists myself. Not so much for protection but out of laziness lol! But the protective aspect is a perk.
LOL Pure laziness is usually what drives me to get braids too! So low maintenance!
I have really short hair (think: pixie cut) so it’s really one of those things that I tend to ignore. But every time I see my stylist she tells me how dry and close to damaged my hair is getting! I really should pay attention more. Will check these out!
I would understand not paying attention to hair when it’s that short, but I bet you still have some maintenance needs?
Thanks for the tips. This looks like a great brand. I need help with my hair with as much swimming as I do in the summer.
There are certain times in the year when my hair gets dry and frizzy, usually during the hot summer months this happens. I would love to try those Hask hair care products. Maybe this would be the product I am looking for!
This is great, your hair looks fantastic. I will have to try to use some of these tips and see about these products. My hair hates the summer humidity here in NH.
Keeping your hair moisturized in the summer is important all year round buy especially in the summe! This product sounds like a great way to do yhat!
I like to do hair masks. My hair gets dried out from the pool water.
I have dry hair so these sound great. I bet they smell good too.
Weather is tough on my hair. I need to condition like crazy to oppose the dryness and the chaos from chlorine. The HASK products sound like they’d be a great fit.
Coconut oil is in everything, isn’t it??? I’m loving it too, it’s really, really good for your hair.
It’s easy to forget to care for our hair in the summer. Coconut oil has long been used to condition long tresses in places like Hawaii.

Coconut oil is a gift from the gods! I love using it in my hair and on my skin! These sound like great products!
I have these! They are awesome.

My hair gets so oily in the summer, unless of course I swim in the pool. Then, it is really dry.

I have very very oily hair and even after using some shampoos my hair hardly feels clean. I’ve very curious how these products would make my hair react.
Those products are awesome! I’m using all of them and my hair is so soft and cute this summer.
What I hate about summer is the messy hair I can get. Good tips you have here, will definitely go out on summer!
Honestly I have never heard about Hask before, but sounds like a great brand with some wonderful hair care products. I love that they use exotic oils & ofcourse coconut oil is always the best when it comes to hair care!
All seem like wonderful products! My hair really gets damaged in the summer so I’ll think about buying some of these
This looks awesome, I love stuff with oil in it. My hair needs some TLC now!

It sounds like a really good hair product.I love it’s made of coconut. I love coconut!
What great tips!!!! Anything with oils usually works wonders on my hair! Must try 🙂
I like taking care of my hair, it is so precious to me. Summer ruined it but I am thankful for these tips.
That’s great advice to be sure you’re moisturizing the scalp. It really can get overly dry, especially this time of year.

I’ve read a lot about HASK and have heard such good things. Will definitely have to check them out – I was *JUST* at Ulta the other day. HAHA now I have an excuse to go back. 😉
I hate summer when it comes to hair care! I usually put mine up in a bunch because I hate sweating but it gets so damaged!

Thank you for this, i’m always looking up tips on how to take care of this mangle mess on top of my head. haha xx
This is a great article! I remember to cover up my body from the sun, but never my hair! And it gets far to dry in the summer, thanks for the reminder!

I’ve tried their products before and I think they really do a great job when it comes to hair care! It’s important to have a good routine this summer and to protect your hair from the harsh sun as well.
I’ve heard that coconut oil is good for your hair. This looks like a good product for keeping your hair healthy over the summer months. I’ll have to give it a try!
If there is one person that doesn’t really take good care of her hair it’s me, I wash it once in a blue moon and condition it even less. But I am starting to make a difference now.

My hair is so frazzled and dehydrated at the moment that it is in need of some serious TLC. I can’t wait to get my hair summer ready.

hahaha i pretty much do the same, wash wash occasional shampoo and conditioner. but my mum always has great products to use so it aint a bad thing
I’ve been using jojoba and coconut oil in my hair for a while now! They are the best!
My hair is pretty horrible and could use a lot of love. These products sound like something I should try.
I’m growing my hair. It’s just under my shoulders but definitely could be healthier. I think the cover up tip is one I need to use more often.
These look lovely, and very effective. I used to have much thicker hair, but never as thick as the rest of my family. They have amazing hair! I got stuck with the thin hair from my mother’s side. I always have to be careful not to neglect my hair, because it doesn’t take much for me to be able to tell when the quality of my hair is declining. This sounds perfect for me!

The Hask hair products sound like great products for the hair indeed. I actually love using hair products with coconut in them which is great for the hair. Thanks for sharing these great hair products.
This is perfect for my summer hair. I am in the poll a lot during the summer which causes extremely dry hair. This is moisturizing!

It’s really difficult for me to deal with my hair in the summer. These are great tips and I will be sure to try out a few of them especially in preparation for our vacation.
I hate to admit it, but I have been kinda lazy about taking care of my hair this summer. I should probably exercise more of your tips myself and get my hair back into shape!

Thus sounds like a great product. It’s nice that you got to allow your sister to try out the product also, thank you for the share.

Summertime can take a beating on your hair. I always allow my hair to air dry. This helps keep my hair from getting so dry. Plus, I use a shine spray to help add moisture to my hair on a daily basis.
I love coconut oil shampoo and conditioner but I have never used HASK. Only OGNX. I will def have to check this out!
Angela Kanellopoulos recently posted…The Beauty & The Beast teaser poster is now available!
Heard about this line but have never tried them. Summer can be brutal on some hair and this sounds like it could help
I have very dry skin and scalp. You are so right about covering the head and using a moisturizer fr the scalp/ These look like great products to try.
Something new to try. I hope to find them in out fave supermarket /drugstore.
Great advice! I love using coconut hair on my hair at night! I have to try this brand soon

Great hair care tips! I use coconut oil and shea butter for my scalp and it helps a lot.
I’m guilty of not taking very good care of my hair too! I’m trying to do better…I finally invested in some higher quality hair products, and I’m definitely seeing a difference.
I need a good conditioner for my hair. In the summer I bleach my hair blond, so as you can imagine my hair gets really brittle.

The sun can be very damaging for your hair, indeed. I love that this products are based on coconut, that’s the newest miracle ingredient and it’s so so healthy for everything.
I need to save these tips! They seem super helpful and work really well.
These are such great tips. I’ve always had really good luck with my hair but as I get older, I notice there are changes. I now take extra measures to protect my hair and scalp by covering up, conditioning, and making sure I am using the right products that will treat me best during warming climates. Thank you for these great tips!
