Summer is definitely the time for low maintenance and manipulation of the hair. Braided styles such as the Goddess Braid or Halo Braid, are my go-to for having to do less to my hair as we get into the hot weather.

A nice, soapy lather is something that I still enjoy on Wash Day. I've been using Pure Castille Lavender Soap. Great for laundry and a bomb face wash, this soap is made up of healthy ingredients, like hemp and lavender, that are less harsh than other detergents and shampoos. It can be purchased at Walmart.

Besides wearing a low-maintenance style, I'll be all about the curls this Summer. Recently, I've been doing perm rods to help achieve a tight curl that lasts well into Day 6 or 7 and even longer. Check out the products I used for this look:
