Chanel Iman, Maria Borges, and More Models Share Their Summer Natural Hair Secrets

Ah, summer! How we love basking in the warmth of the sun. But we hate how strong UV rays make our curly and wavy strands dry, frizzy, and lackluster. Wearing a ginormous hat whenever we are outdoors is a simple fix, but it isn’t the sexiest.

Fighting against our natural texture by slathering on styling products to “correct” these problems isn’t the solution either, according to celebrity stylist and Mizani global artistic director César Ramirez. “It will allow for more work for your everyday hair routine,” he says.

Taking style cues from Ramirez, Mizani campaign models Chanel Iman, Maria Borges, Heidy De la Rosa, and Grace Mahary are embracing the heat with sizzling summer hair. Click through the slideshow to see how they pull off natural hairstyles without breaking a sweat.
