Tips for caring for your hair after spending a day at the beach:

the sun and salt water of the ocean causes damage to hair and skin…yet we still love it so much.Yes, the beach is the absolute perfect place to get sexy tousled beach wavy hair but it’s also the place that can leave hair ending up super dry and knotty (especially for those that swim!).

Here are some tips for caring for your hair after spending a day (or two, or three or four, or more) at the beach:

• Apply olive oil to the tips of hair (which gets the driest) and sleep in it – wash it out the next morning (or the next time you take a dip in the ocean) and you’ll have lusciously soft locks (this also helps to prevent split ends)
• Apply a mashed avocado for a nourishing hair treatment, leave on for 15-20 minutes, rinse
• Always wash hair (with shampoo, not just a rinse) after swimming in the ocean before you go to bed (the longer you leave the salt water on your hair the more it dries it out)
• Whipped Shea butter acts as a natural sunscreen for hair….apply it to the ends or all over while sitting on the beach
• NEVER blow dry hair after swimming (this just adds to the damage and causes it to dry out even more)
• Hot Oil treatments are a great treat for hair after a day at the beach
