5 Tips to Take Care of your Hair if you go to the Beach

Taking care of the hair from the sun and the sea when you go to the beach is very important to prevent it from becoming a disaster. Ultraviolet rays become one of the main enemies of your hair, as they bleach hair pigments, in addition to drying and weakening.

You should take into account that the more time you spend in the water, the more protein your hair loses. The sea salt dries it and the chlorine discolors it. Therefore, here are 5 tips for you to protect your hair on your next vacation.

1. Use products with sunscreen for your hair

Apply a shampoo and conditioner with sunscreen to keep the wicks hydrated. We recommend the Kerastase Soleil range, which counteracts the damage caused by the environment.

It is super effective to protect, bathe and repair the hair that has been subjected to ultraviolet rays, water or wind. Take care of the hair fiber and form a protective layer that provides softness and shine.

2. Rinse your hair correctly

This is a super tip: after leaving the sea, rinse your hair with cold water. What will you achieve with this? You will increase blood circulation, eliminate chlorine and salt and shine when sealing the hair cuticle.

3. Choose collected hairstyles

Bringing your hair back will protect your scalp. If you opt for hairstyles with a very marked stripe you run the risk of burns on the skin of your head. Do not forget to use rubber bands or plastic tweezers to hold your hair, since wet becomes more fragile and could be cut with other types of materials.

You can bet on tall ponytails, braids and tall chongos, and you can even complete your look with hats. So your hair will be protected and will stay hydrated.

4. Apply a few drops of oil on your hair

Hair oils are excellent for keeping your hair nourished and avoiding frizz and dryness. You can spread a few drops of Fluide Oil Relax, from the Nutritive Kerastase range, as a finisher when combing. Another very useful product is Elixir Ultime with Oleo Complexe, from Kerastase that will leave your hair soft and shiny.

5. Avoid the dryer and irons

If you go to the beach you don't need to dry your hair with a dryer or stylize it with an iron. The hair dries quickly in the air, so keep your thermal tools to avoid damaging the strands more than necessary. Or if you use them, use a medium temperature and a thermal protector.

We suggest the look of beach waves in the afternoon or at night to look very trendy on your vacation at sea. Water of Waves, from the Kerastase Botanical Aura line will be your great ally to achieve this image. You just have to spread a small amount from the growth to the tips, then separate several strands, roll them up and fasten them with pins. Let your hair dry. Finally, release your hair and comb with your fingers to mark each curl.
