Summer is in full swing—bringing sunshine, pool days, and the perfect excuse to give your hair routine a fun seasonal refresh. Whether you're a braid lover, a loc queen, or just figuring out your curl pattern, summer offers both challenges and golden opportunities for natural hair.
At AMPRO, we celebrate your crown every season. This summer, we’re sharing tips for protective styling, decoding porosity, and flaunting heat-friendly hairstyles—with the perfect Ampro products to help your hair flourish.
The Art of Braiding: Style Meets Protection
Braids are timeless and powerful. Whether you’re rocking cornrows, box braids, or twists, these styles not only slay but also protect your strands.
Why Braids Rock in Summer
● Weather Shield: Braids help defend your hair against sun, humidity, and chlorine.
● Low Manipulation: Less daily styling = less breakage.
● Styling Variety: From bun to ponytail to freestyle, options abound.
● Easy Maintenance: Once installed, upkeep is a breeze.
Your Braid Prep Essentials
● Shine 'n Jam® Conditioning Gel – Extra Hold This beloved product is a braid stylist's go-to. Use it to smooth your roots, lay edges, and achieve a polished finish during installation.
● Ampro Pro Styl® Leave-In Conditioner Hydrate your hair before braiding. This lightweight formula detangles and nourishes, setting the foundation for long-lasting protective styles.
● Ampro Pro Styl® Hair & Scalp Oil Keep your scalp happy under those braids. Apply between parts to seal in moisture and support healthy hair growth.
Locs: A Journey of Pride and Patience
Locs are more than a style—they're a legacy. And summer is the perfect time to keep them vibrant and thriving.
Summer Loc Care Tips
● Hydrate Consistently: Use Ampro Clear Ice® Coconut Oil Styling Gel as a lightweight sealant and touch-up tool. It won’t flake or dry out your locs, and it defines gently without stiffness.
● Scalp Love: Regular oiling with Ampro Pro Styl® Hair & Scalp Oil helps reduce dryness and flakiness.
● Refresh with Style: Pair your misting routine with a light retwist using Shine 'n Jam® Magic Fingers for Braiders to tame new growth without weighing your locs down.
● Sleep Smart: Always wrap your locs in silk or satin at night to preserve moisture and style.
