Hair styling
Summer times are really hot in Africa so unlike other continents hair styling has to be done in such a way to prevent a lot heat stress and not the time to drop hair. Natural hair styling is a good way to fleek summer and prevent sun heat stress but do take good maintenance.
In addition, consider afric-hair styles like braids, faux locks and cornrows and others that are not heavy and sweaty. Actually they also prevent the natural hair from shrinking like during swim times or sweaty days. Wigs can cause heat but are good for summer time because you get to let your hair breathe indoors and reduce unnecessary heat.
Makeup
Nude makeup is chic for summer as it does not complicate any fashion looks but summer fashion is bubbly and playful therefore bright and loud make up is definite for summer but avoid heavy makeup or products that melt from sun heat and sweat

Certainly summer is the time to enjoy all sorts of light attires because the cold is not there to stop anyone. Summer allows all kinds of cultured clothing from tops, bottoms, dresses and throw overs.

Footwear
Footwear in summer should not be complicated, any shoes can fleek an attire from unisex to men’s shoes and women’s heels and flat shoes. Preferably open shoes are good for summer unlike closed and heavy shoes like boots and sports shoes. Yet, a shoe game is up to the owner to slay it in his/ her comfort regardless of season. Socks in summer should be a “no go area” as they ruin summer vibes unless as requested for taste, look or reason.
Accessories
Accessories always add taste to looks and never run out of season but there isn’t a time to play with accessories like summer time. Summer fashion is panache with eye-wear, jewelry, clutches, head-wear, nails, and scarves. Jewelry of all kinds is tasteful to fashion, without which is boring. Summer time should be the time to show off tattoos, wear heavy dangling and anklets and also to put on some studs and rings on piercings.
It is an unwritten rule to fashion eye-wear in summer to obviously shield the eyes from some sunlight and others for medical reasons that get complex on hot days. Yet, the eye-wear game also creates dashing looks for summer time.
Accessories precisely clutches, purses, headwear, scarves and nails (and other accessories) should be accessorized on fleek in summer by ensuring that they are trendy and not fashion fouled. Scarves in summer are not supposed to be heavy and thick but for fashion. Nails on the other hand should be a loud accessory, dare to try out all kinds of nail art in summer to be on fleek.
Colors and prints
Like other summer fashion rules, colors and prints are panache to be loud and bubbly in summer. Bright colors are best garbed in summer just like the bright days themselves. Bright colors are also well for repelling a lot sun heat unlike dull colors that absorb heat like black. Usually summer time is a time for high spirits, so the colors that are garbed should be those of high spirits and energies such as but not limited to red, pink, emerald and yellow to have a yellow day.
Prints are not seasonal however on prints should be killed/ slayed in summer. Bright prints are garbed well in summer for instance African prints, labels and garden floral prints with bright colors are the best option to fleek a summer look.
