The starting point to care for your natural hair is knowing your hair type and, even more importantly, its porosity. Hair porosity refers to your hair’s ability to absorb moisture. The higher the porosity, the more prone it is to frizsiness, dryness, and tangling — especially during the warmer summer months.

You can tell if you have high porosity hair by placing a few strands of shed hair into a bowl of water. If the strands quickly sinks by absorbing water, chances are you’ve got high porosity hair. And, if you do, it’s important to choose cleansing and styling products that lock in moisture without weighing hair down. That’s where we come in!

We’ve pulled together some summer must-haves — from shampoos and leave-ins to growth oils and styling creams — to leave your hair weightless, hydrated, and anything but high maintenance. Click through for seven must-haves to keep your hair happy this summer
