“Beach”~ Hair Tips 101

#1 When at the beach, or beside the pool, take a hat or scarf with you to protect your hair from the damaging rays of the sun. Your hair can be damaged not only by the summer heat, but also by the UV rays pumping up the "frizzes".

#2 Use leave in conditioners or hair care products that contain SPF protection already in them to lock in moisture. If this is unavailable to you, then simply rub some of the sunscreen for your skin through your tresses. Hey, hair is but an extension of your skin anyway, so it can't hurt ;-)

#3 To avoid overly frizzy looking or split ends, visit your hair stylist to get them trimmed every 6 to 8 weeks. You can also do this simply yourself if you prefer. And, if you can cut straight ;-)

#4 Switch over to a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner duo during the hotter months if your hair is showing signs of getting dry. Look for moisturizers that help replenish vital nutrients to your hair.

#5 Use a clarifying shampoo to remove chlorine damage from swimming. Try and wash your hair immediately after going for a refreshing dip in the pool. The sooner the better as you can reduce some of the harsh effects quickly.

#6 To reduce the amount of 'green tint' in your hair, especially for blonds, apply a bit of conditioner (leave in or normal) to your hair before entering the water. Having your hair pre-moistened before swimming can also help reduce the 'greens'.

#7 If your hair is already showing signs of a greenish tint, then you may want to try applying tomato juice to your hair, wrap up with a plastic shower cap and leave it on 15-30 minutes, then rinse.

#8 When showering, lower the water temperature a bit and try to avoid, hot, steamy showers. This will further dry out your hair and scalp, something you don't want to do when the weather is hot. Try to limit yourself to luke warm to cool showers. Taking them during the daylight hours will help.

#9 If going to the beach where there is salty sea water be sure to carry a bottle of club soda or mineral water with you so that after you finish your dip, you can rinse all that salt out of your hair. You may also want to re-apply any leave in conditioner to your hair after rinsing to be sure your hair stays beautiful after your day at the beach! This also works well when swimming in chlorinated pools.
