Keeping your hair healthy in the summer can be an uphill battle (I mean, I like that natural highlight like the next person). But the fact remains that the sun, wind and ocean/lake water can wreak havoc on our locks. Here’s some of my favorite products that may help get you through the summer with your beautiful hair still gorgeous and healthy!
Leave-In Conditioner
If you’re prone to dryness, frizz, or tangles, a leave-in conditioner is a must! I like to finger comb this leave-in through my hair then braid it. That way it stays out of my face and locks in that moisture from the leave-in!
Scrunchies/Phone cord hair ties
If you’re still using the old elastic hair ties, PLEASE STOP! They are doing so much damage to your hair! As much as I tried to avoid it, the 90’s are back and that includes scrunchies. You can get a 40-pack for under $10 here. Phone cord hair ties work well too!
Dry Shampoo
Need a propane and butane free dry shampoo that won’t light your hair on fire while you’re roasting marshmallows around the campfire this summer? This is my fave!
Detangle Spray (Jr and Adult)
Me and my daughter have the most tangle prone hair and we literally couldn’t live without these two products! The Unknot Detangler has an ingredient called Crodasorb which is basically sunscreen for your hair! If you’re worried about your color fading in the sun this summer, spritz a bit of this on before you head out to the beach or pool. Plus, when you’re done for the day, you’ll be able to brush out your hair no problem!
Color Locking + Protective Spray
If you color your hair and you’re going to be in the sun this summer, you need this ASAP! This spray seals the hair cuticle to lock in color and prevent fading—basically saving you money!
