Hey Nappturalites! A lot has been going on here at the BOOMBox Headquarters, including the release of our first-ever Platinum Box! If you ordered one, I'm sure you already see how the features inside will keep you looking haute this Summer!
Summer is finally here, and big, bouncy natural hair is in. Actually, it's always in. =) But, summer is the time that you should let your coils and curls be free and not worry about frizz and humidity. In fact, I think you should use the hot, summer weather to your hair's advantage. We've got tips to keep your hair feeling lush, but yet protected from the summer heart.
I believe this is our best box yet! Check out the info and suggestions on how to use the products in the box in the "Featured Products" section. There's even a recipe for a refreshing summer drink using one of this month's features!
I'd love to know what you think of this month's box! Please email me at [email protected] and share with me what you think about the features and your thoughts on how we can make BOOMBox better.
Love,
Dawn

The only things that are moisturizers are things that have water in them and so I would recommend a good leave in conditioner; using once every two days, misting the hair -not actually spraying and wetting. Just misting.
Regular salon visits and making sure the clients are getting hot oil treatments and or steam treatments. Good massaging of the scalp stimulates the blood flow. Also, brushing natural hair and trimming the ends is a good way to keep the hair from shedding and breakage. I recommend using K-Oil for the hot oil treatments sealing in moisture.
What natural hairstyles would you suggest for this summer?
Summertime is always a good time to experiment with color. People are outside more, people are active more. It's an opportunity to step out of your comfort zone and add some color.
What's your favorite way to stay cool in the summer?
Thando Kafele enjoys staying in his house under the air conditioner.
