Sun, chlorine, sea salt and heat can all take their toll on curly hair. Naturtint’s Curly range is designed to put hydration, softness and definition back at the centre of your summer routine.

Summer can be a brilliant time for our hair, but for curls, coils and waves, the combination of sunshine, swimming, humidity and higher temperatures can also mean one thing: moisture loss.

Chlorine, sea salt and exposure to UV rays can leave curly hair feeling drier, frizzier and less defined, which makes keeping on top of hydration particularly important during the warmer months. Naturtint’s Curly range has been developed with this in mind, with a five-product routine designed to cleanse, condition, nourish and define curly hair.

Start with a gentle cleanse

The Naturtint Curl-Defining Shampoo is formulated with 97.2% naturally derived ingredients and is designed to cleanse without leaving curls feeling stripped or dry.

Its formula includes amaranth seed and hydrolysed quinoa alongside hydrolysed proteins, natural biolipids and meadowfoam seed oil to support hydration, strength and shine.

For those who prefer a gentler cleanse, there’s also the Curly Co-Wash Balm, made with 98.6% ingredients of natural origin.

The shampoo-free option cleanses and detangles while helping to maintain curl definition, with shea butter and a blend of oils adding softness and nourishment.

Add moisture without weighing curls down

Next comes the Leave-In Conditioner for Curls, which can be incorporated into your everyday styling routine.

Made with 98.1% ingredients of natural origin, it combines amaranth seed extract and hydrolysed quinoa with plant waxes and pracaxi seed oil to add softness and shine while helping curls retain their natural definition.

For days when your hair needs a little more attention, the Curl Defining Mask provides a more intensive conditioning treatment.

With shea butter, pracaxi seed oil, meadowfoam seed oil and amaranth seed extract among its ingredients, the mask is designed to deeply hydrate and condition while helping curls look healthier and more defined.

Finish with oil

The final step in the collection is the Curl Defining Oil, a lightweight blend containing nine natural oils, including argan, jojoba, coconut, sunflower and meadowfoam seed oils.

It can be used as the finishing step to add shine, soften the hair and help prevent moisture loss without weighing curls down. The formula is also designed to help protect colour-treated hair.

For curly hair in particular, summer haircare doesn’t necessarily need to mean adding more and more products. The priority is keeping the hair hydrated, conditioned and protected, while choosing formulas that allow your natural curl pattern to retain its movement.

Naturtint’s five-step Curly collection offers the option of building a complete routine or simply choosing the products that work best for your own curls.
