Nothing is better than a day out in the sun, but nothing is worse for your hair than salt soaked, UV toasted hair. Here are some tips to protect your ‘do from the brightest star.

Rinse Your Hair in Sweetwater Before Hitting the Waves

Be sure to wet your hair with salt-less water (shower, water bottle) before going into the ocean. This prevents your hair from soaking up the salt which will damage the texture and color.

Apply a Hair Sunscreen

Yes! Sunscreen for your hair exists. Try Sun Bum Beach Formula, a leave-in conditioner spray that protects hair from UVA and UVB rays with a mix of oils and fruits. You won’t have to worry about your hair getting sun-bleached!

Get a Health Trim

Fact: Hair grows faster in the summer, which means more potential for damage and splitting up the strand. Schedule one or two extra health-trim sessions with your stylist to keep your hair healthy and smooth.
