Step 1: Start smart, protect your hair with a pre-wash treatment
Here’s a little secret: the best defense is a good offense. Before you even head to the beach, give your hair a head start by protecting it against saltwater damage.
Apply a bit of oil or conditioner before you take a dip. It creates a protective barrier think of it like sunscreen for your hair!
Our personal favorites:
- Redken All Soft Argan-6 Hair Oil | nourishing and shine-enhancing.
- Kérastase Résistance Ciment Anti-Usure | strengthens fragile hair and prevents breakage.
This step is a lifesaver for dry summer hair.
Step 2: Be gentle use a mild, natural shampoo
After a beach day, it’s time to wash your hair. But go gently scrubbing too hard will only cause more dryness. Treat your hair like silk, not denim!
- Lakmé Teknia Organic Balance Shampoo | 100% vegan and ideal for sun- and salt-exposed hair.
- Oolaboo Super Foodies Repair Shampoo | deeply nourishing and restorative.
Step 3: Indulge in a luxurious hair mask
Once or twice a week, treat your hair to a mask, just like your skin! Choose natural masks free from parabens and silicones.
- Pro tip: Explore natural summer hair masks to find your match.
This step repairs saltwater damage and adds moisture back.
Step 4: Seal in moisture with a leave-in product
Just like your skin needs daily care, your hair needs protection too. Use a leave-in conditioner or hair oil to keep it soft and shielded.
- Tip: Apply Redken Argan-6 Hair Oil to towel-dried hair for instant shine and hydration.
Step 5: Detangle with care
No more painful brushing! Use a detangling spray and start from the ends, working up gently to the roots.
- Tip: Moroccanoil Frizz Shield Spray | perfect for frizz-free summer hair.
Step 6: Let your hair air-dry
Give your hair time to recover. Let it air-dry naturally and avoid heat styling when possible.
Step 7: If styling, always use heat protection
Styling for a night out? No worries, just be sure to protect your hair first.
