We know the ocean makes the most beautiful natural beachy waves, but when you’re at the beach a lot, like most LoveSurf girls, you’re hair can definitely get damaged. The sun and salt can really do a number on your strands. Here’s a few tips to keep your hair healthy and split end-free at the beach:

Pre-Sun Care

Use a high SPF sunscreen on your scalp and strands to protect you from getting burnt.
Put coconut oil on the ends before you go in the water, this will protect them from splitting
Wet your hair before getting in the water to keep you hair from absorbing salt water

Post-Sun Care

If you can, rinse with fresh water as soon as you get out of the ocean.
As soon as you get out of the water spray with some type of nourishing treatment (Leave-in conditioner will work fine)
Rinse with a cleansing shampoo, or because we prefer using natural products whenever we can, rinse your hair with Apple cider Vinegar after shampooing.
Put coconut oil on the ends (not to much or your hair will go greasy)
And don’t forget to use a deep conditioning treatment or hair mask once a week.

Products

There are so many products out there made just for Sun, chlorine and Ocean care. Here are a few our LoveSurf girls have tried that work.

For shampooing use a sun and color protector such as Redken :Color extend sun product line.
