If you have curly hair, you’ll know that in summer the hair begins to behave differently. In fact, it’s likely you’ve had to change small things in your usual hair-care routine and that during the rest of the year they worked perfectly to adapt to the effects of high temperatures.

You are not alone. It is very common during the summer season and due to the heat and sun exposure, chlorine or salt, the hair loses elasticity. This makes defining the curls harder and they lose vitality and shine. To tackle it, it’s advisable to have a product on hand that can revitalize the curls in an easy and straightforward way.

Forget tying your hair up into a bun or ponytail when you feel your mane has lost life. Also discard the idea of washing it again to regain the initial definition; there are cosmetics that in a single step manage to restore the curl to all its splendor.

They are usually the so-called leave-ins, especially in spray form. This format is much easier to apply and spread across the entire mane while controlling the excess product, so you will avoid adding weight and leaving greasy results. It is lightweight and manages to give that necessary touch to make your mane look beautiful. And these are our favorites.


Pink Power Bond from Les Secrets de Loly (€34 at Sephora).

A good example is the proposal from Les Secrets de Loly that has developed Pink Power Bond, a leave-in repair spray that helps strengthen the hair fiber thanks to its repairing technology, facilitates detangling without weighing down, and helps the curl regain flexibility and movement.


Killer Waves from Kevin Murphy (€37).

Killer Waves from Kevin Murphy is a curl enhancer that doesn’t weigh hair down. It defines and separates waves while reducing frizz and adds thickness to the hair fiber thanks to a formula with baobab seed oil as the main ingredient, which increases hair shine and elasticity.


Curl Me Now from Moncho Moreno (€29.99 at Druni).

In Moncho Moreno’s line for curly hair you can find Curl Me Now, a spray leave-in formulated with natural ingredients to enhance shape, nourish, and prevent frizz in your curls, thanks to a base of mango and cocoa butter that restores shine.


Omega by Dyson (€66 at Sephora).

Omega by Dyson is a leave-in conditioning spray that nourishes the hair immediately without weighing it down, whenever it needs a boost. It is powered by the Oli7 blend, a proprietary formula that nourishes the hair, helps reduce frizz, increases hydration, and protects against breakage.
