Summer Hair




1 . PUT IN A LEAVE-IN-CONDITIONER BEFORE YOU GO
Massaging some leave-in-conditioner into the ends of your hair before you go will provide protection against sun, salt-water, and wind.

2 . WEAR A HAT OR SCARF
The sun’s harsh rays not only damage your skin, they also take a toll on your beautiful locks and can alter your color if it has been treated. Wearing a hat or scarf are great ways to prevent this. My amazing hairstylist recently told me about hair sunscreen which I am yet to try.

3 . STYLE WITHOUT A PART
The top of your head is the most exposed to the sun and typically not protected with sunscreen. Especially if you’re not going to be wearing a hat or scarf choose a style like a messy bun or pony tail, without a part, this will prevent the uncomfortable scalp sunburn that can come after a day at the beach.

4 . RINSE AFTER GOING IN THE WATER
While the salty water often creates great waves and curls, it also strips your hair of many natural oils leaving it dry and brittle. Combine this dryness with the wind you typically find near the shore and your hair is incredibly susceptible to breakage. So rinse your hair with clean water after getting out of the ocean and prevent it from breaking and drying out.

5 . SPRAY WITH COCONUT OIL
After you get out of the water and rinse your hair, replenish your mane with the oils it’s been stripped of by spraying a coconut oil mixture onto your hair. To make this coconut oil spray mix one part melted coconut oil with one part clean water in a spray bottle. If the bottle is in your bag at the beach the sun will keep it liquid and perfect to spray on your hair.
