Beach Day Hair Care Tips
Summer is the perfect season to enjoy the sun and days at the beach. However, UV rays and salt water can cause significant damage to our hair. But with the right care and a suitable routine, it is possible to have beautiful and healthy hair all summer long. So we’re going to give you some beach day hair care tips to protect your hair during days under the sun!
Beach Day Hair Care Tips
Aren’t sea water, sand and sun your hair’s best friends? Without the hair care they need, you risk damaging them and you will quickly regret your day at the water’s edge!
You will therefore have to take care of it. The sun tends to dry out hair and, if you have colored or bleached hair, the “sea and sun” cocktail is not the best combo. In fact, this risks altering your coloring or discoloration, either by making it duller or by lightening it. Just like your skin, you will need to protect your hair from the sun’s rays. Beforehand, you will think about nourishing and hydrating them with your appropriate shampoos and masks.
Don’t worry, we have compiled for you, everything you need to do before, during and after a day at the beach!
Before the beach: be well prepared
–Hydration
Textured hair is naturally dry, so it’s important to moisturize it throughout the year. Make a hydrating mask or apply moisturizer the day before your day at the beach. Favor treatments based on shea, piqui oil or aloe vera for example in order to nourish and seal in hydration.
–Apply a UV protector
UV rays weaken hair by making curls dry and brittle. Hair protectants act like sunscreen, protecting your hair from the unwanted effects of the sun.
Warning: choose alcohol-free sprays!
–Protective hairstyle
As its name suggests, a protective hairstyle helps protect the hair. There are several easy and quick hairstyles to achieve such as braids, braids and twists. In addition to protecting your hair from the beach, they will limit the appearance of knots, which will make detangling easier!
During the day at the beach
–Have the right accessories
In fact, some accessories have a metal part that can heat up in the sun and thus burn your hair. Choose fabric-covered elastics or plastic clips.
–Respberry dees vegetable
Once on the beach, raspberry seed vegetable oil will be your ally. It is appreciated because it protects the hair from damage caused by the sun. In addition, it will also act as a protective barrier against salt every time you go for a swim? ! Don’t forget, you should opt for a protective hairstyle like braids or a high bun. This will limit the knots that could form during your swim?
–Wear a hat or scarf
The easiest way to counteract UV rays on our hair is to cover our heads. Hat, cap, scarf… anything goes so as not to damage your pretty curls.
–Dampen your hair with fresh water
If your beach offers them, take a shower before diving into the sea! In fact, wet hair absorbs sea salt less. You can also apply a leave-in to create additional protection.
When you get out of the water, remember to rinse your hair with clean water and, if you want to detangle it, leave your brush aside and use a wide-toothed comb: it will be more delicate and less brittle for the hair.
To maintain the wavy effect, spray your hair with a styling and protective spray then finish with a hydrating and nourishing serum. Are you ready to leave the beach with dream hair?!
what To put in your beach bag:
- Beach wave protective spray
- Hair Serum for lengths & ends
- Aloe vera hair spray
- Silk scrunchy
After the beach: treatments
–Rinse immediately
Rinsing your hair immediately with clean water helps remove salt from the hair. If your beach offers it, go in the shower where you can wash your hair.
–Apply a mask or leave-in
After rinsing, apply a mask which will restore hydration to your hair. Leave it on for at least 30 minutes for optimal results! Choose treatments based on shea and silk protein.
–Air dry your hair
Indeed, drying your hair with a hairdryer can cause additional damage after a day at the beach. Leaving your hair out in the open air prevents it from being exposed any further!
Bonus: Our advice for a successful summer
- Drink plenty of water: Good hydration starts from the inside! Drinking enough during the day helps maintain good hydration in your hair.
- Avoid alcohol based products: Products containing alcohol dry out the hair, so avoid them as much as possible!
- Maintain your ends regularly: The tips can be more fragile in summer! Cut them to avoid split ends as much as possible and keep your hair healthy.
- Use a bathing cap: If you plan to go to the beach or the pool often, bring a swimming cap! This is a great way to minimize hair exposure to salt or chlorine.
With all these tips, you will be able to enjoy your days at the beach all summer long! So prepare your treatments, your best accessories and make the most of your summer.
