Every summer, we hear this one sentence on repeat. “I just need a strong hold gel to get my curls to last longer and reduce frizz from Dubai heat and humidity.”
What most people fail to realise is that it takes more than a strong hold gel for your curls to thrive in 45-degree heat and 90% humidity. You need a curated curly hair routine that’s fit for the climate, aligned with your porosity and sealed for curl longevity.
Maintaining dreamy curl definition in the summer months is most certainly an art and a science. The general consensus is that due to the structural features inherent in curly hair - particularly the natural bends and kinks that give curly hair its shape, it’s not possible for styling results to be long lasting, more specifically last beyond Day 1 or 2 after wash day in climates with high humidity such as the Dubai and the wider UAE.
