It’s hard to believe Spring is just around the corner, but trust that we are embracing this season of renewal with open arms!
As the days lengthen and the temperatures soar, we know you’re probably already planning all those long, chill beach days, and we’d like to be part of your planning!
We’d like to share some tips to ensure your strands stay silky and soft, no matter how much time you spend soaking up the rays or how many ocean dips you enjoy!
While we certainly love the sun and surf, it’s no secret that it can quickly dry out your locks, leaving them limp, frizzy and lifeless.
In this article we will share our top tips to ensure your hair stays its healthiest at the beach and after!
Yes, do drink your water too, but in this case we mean soaking your strands in deep hydration before you hit the beach!
The fun thing about the beach is that you don’t have to spend hours perfecting your blowout, as the sun, sea and humidity will quickly take care of any hard work you put in!
However, you can certainly protect your hair against the elements and our Rice Water Spray will ensure your strands are protected from root to tip!
It’s actually a good idea to head into the pool or ocean with wet strands as wet hair absorbs less chlorine and salt.
Simply wet and towel dry your hair and then generously spritz our Rice Water Spray throughout your hair and voila! When you get out of the water, do give your hair another rinse and then reapply. Once you’re home you can shampoo and condition as usual.
An important tip is to always use a wide-toothed comb to brush through any tangles so you don’t break your hair.
Split ends may pop up to say hi when the sun hits your hair or after hours of UV exposure. We always recommend wearing a hat to protect your delicate scalp and to slather your ends in oils, like nourishing Jojoba Oil, as protection against damage and to instantly seal splits and smooth out frizzy hair.
For the ultimate in after care, you can’t go wrong with a rosemary treatment!
We usually recommend massaging this into the scalp and then shampooing and conditioning as usual, but we totally understand that after a long and sweaty beach day, your hair is in need of a wash.
Use a very gentle shampoo (Floridians swear by using a baby shampoo every other wash to keep frizz at bay!) and then let your hair air dry at least 80% of the way. Feel free to use a hair dryer on a low setting to speed up the process!
Once your hair is dry, or at least mostly dry, take a few drops of our rich Rosemary Oil and massage it into your scalp and on your ends too if you’re going all out! Cover with a cap for at least ten minutes before shampooing and conditioning OR sleep with it on overnight and let it work its magic while you get your beauty rest!
Once your hair has been shampooed and conditioned, you can spritz our Rosemary Rice Water Spray into your damp hair and let it air dry or style as usual for the benefits of both Rosemary and Rice Water!
We hope you feel better equipped to deal with any hair mishaps you may have had in the past, because this year is looking a lot more optimistic once you add these tips and products into your beach hair care routine!
