3 Easy Ways to Protect Your Hair in the Pool and Ocean!

It's that time of year where the weather is hot and and we are all excited to head to the beach and pool!  That's a fantastic time of year to be in!  But our poor hair does not fair well in such conditions.  Salt water, chlorine, and sun rays all take their toll on our lovely locks.  So how do we help prevent that and keep our hair healthy???

Ohh the beach!  The sea calls me, there's something so beautifully calming about it, but that salt water is so drying!

While you're at the beach and not in the water though,  what about the sun?  Harsh rays can make your skin red and burnt, so what's happening to your hair?

Let's not forget the pool too!  Between chlorine pools and salt water pools, either way there's something out there to get soaked in by our luscious locks!      

HATS!

Hats are so important!  Especially when you are simply sitting by the beach or pool, it will protect your hair from the sun.  Those sun rays dry out your hair and can burn your scalp, so always pack a hat!

SUNSCREEN​ & LEAVE-IN CONDITIONER 

Often times we forget that if we part our hair, that skin on the scalp is exposed to the sunshine and thus will burn.  Take for example my part in the photo to the right, if I were by the beach all day, that would get burnt!  Make sure to dip just a little sunscreen on it to keep a healthy scalp, thus promoting healthy hair growth.

I hope this helped you in your summer plans!  As I'm sure you can tell, I wrote this blog using images from a recent weekend getaway :].  I'll leave below a few more photos that aren't as related to hair, to share our adventure!  Where are you vacationing this summer?!
