Beach Care: Protect Your Hair + Scalp From the Summer Sun

The beach – the perfect destination to unwind, soak up the sun, and enjoy the ocean's soothing waves. But as much as we love spending time at the beach, it's essential to remember that the harsh sun, saltwater, and sand can wreak havoc on our precious tresses. It's crucial to prepare your hair and scalp for the elements to ensure they stay healthy and vibrant throughout your beach day. Let's break down the best practices for protecting and nourishing your hair before, during, and after your beach adventure.

Pre-Beach Hair Care

  1. Before you set foot on the beach, it's time to get your hair beach-ready. The key is hydration, hydration, and more hydration. Just like your body, your hair craves moisture to stay strong and resilient. Incorporate a deep conditioning session into your hair care routine using the Plant Power Repair Mask. This powerful treatment is enriched with baobab and pea proteins, providing your hair with the nourishment it needs to withstand the drying effects of the sun and saltwater.
  2. Additionally, shield your locks from the elements by applying Dew Magic, a leave-in treatment that saturates your hair with moisture, acting as a protective barrier against the harmful effects of saltwater and chlorine. This extra step will help prevent your hair from over-absorbing these damaging elements, ultimately reducing the risk of dryness and breakage.

The Beach Day Survival Kit

Heading to the beach requires some essentials to safeguard your hair from the sun's harsh rays and the potential damage that comes with exposure to sand and sea. Here's what you need in your Beach Day Survival Kit:

  1. Sunscreen for Your Hair: Just like your skin, your hair needs protection from the sun's harmful UV rays. Before stepping out into the sun, apply Curl Elixir, a hair sunscreen that safeguards your strands with protective proteins and nourishing aloe vera. This not only shields your hair but also aids in its post-sun recovery.

  2. Silk Scarf for Stylish Protection: For the ultimate hair protection, consider using our Silk Scarf. This luxurious 100% silk scarf smooths the hair cuticles, creating a barrier against the damaging effects of wind, sun, and sand. Plus, it adds a touch of style to your beach look!

Post-Beach Tender Loving Care

After a fun-filled day at the beach, your hair and scalp need some pampering to restore their natural vitality. Follow these simple steps for post-beach hair care:

  1. Rinse and Refresh: Once you're back from the beach, it's crucial to remove any salt, sand, and debris from your hair and scalp. Use H.A.P.I. Shampoo, specially formulated to cleanse and refresh your hair, leaving it free from any lingering beach elements. Follow up with the Untangled Conditioner, enriched with a Guar-derived emulsifier to prevent breakage and keep your curls happy and healthy. Save by shopping the Wash Day Duo.

  2. Style and Set: After all the beach adventures, your hair deserves some extra love. Treat your locks to a pampering session with Dream Curl Cream or Dream Curl Mousse. These products are infused with plant-based cellulose technology and copolymers, perfect for defining and setting your curls for the days to come. Save by shopping the Dream Team Ritual.

Why It Matters

Now that you know the importance of protecting and nourishing your hair before, during, and after your beach escapades, it's time to prioritize your hair care routine. The harsh sun can quickly dry out your hair and scalp, making them brittle and prone to damage. By taking proactive measures to keep your hair hydrated and shielded from the elements, you can maintain the health and vitality of your curls, even after spending a day at the beach.

Incorporate these simple and effective hair care tips into your beach day routine, and you'll be rewarded with luscious locks that shine as brightly as the summer sun. Embrace the beach, have fun, and let your hair radiate beauty throughout your seaside adventures!

Remember, healthy hair is beautiful hair, and with the right care, you can enjoy the beach while keeping your hair looking and feeling incredible!
