At Fortelli Salon in Oakville, we specialize in helping our clients embrace and enhance their natural texture, especially during the summer months. When you're rocking your natural curls and waves with a wash and go style, we’ve got the tips—and the products—to help.

Here’s how to build your summer curl routine:
