5 Tips for Healthy Summer Hair

Clarifying Shampoo or Swimmers Shampoo:
After swimming at the beach or pool use a clarifying shampoo. Clarifying shampoo's will remove any minerals(sea salt) metals(chlorine) left behind on your hair as well as any product buildup.  You should also use a Swimmers Shampoo if you have beautiful blonde hair or blonde highlights.  Sometimes the chlorine from the pool water will leave a greenish tint on your hair. Swimmers shampoo contains phytic acid which will remove the green tint on the hair.

Avocado Oil Rinse:
 Similar to a hot oil treatment but this method is done in the shower.  After shampooing hair and scalp apply Avocado Oil from the roots to the ends. This will seal moisture into your hair.

Moisturize:
Moisture is needed to beat dry hair.  The best type of moisturizer during summer months to use are water based products.
A few examples  of water based products:
Africa's Best Kids Organics Detangling Hair Lotion
Giovanni Direct Leave - In
If you do not have any of these products don't worry mix Aloe Vera Juice, Avocado Oil and a little water in a spray bottle. This works like magic!!!! This is my favorite summer moisturizer!!! Spritz this  cocktail onto your hair. Your  hair will be moisturized and sealed!

Co-Wash:
Shampooing the hair is not always the best due to time constraints and also shampooing can strip some of the very moisture we are trying to hold on to.  So Co-Washing is an awesome option.
Co-Washing is applying a moisturizing conditioner to your wet hair then rinsing it out.  This method will retain moisture while gently cleansing your hair.
Some of my favorite co-washing conditioners are:
Ogx Coconut Water Weightless Conditioner
Alberto V05 Moisturizing Conditioner ( I know its very cheap but its excellent for co-washing because it will not weigh your hair down)

Air Dry:
Stay away from direct heat!!! The beautiful sunshine and heat will dry your hair with a less damaging effect.

And out of all the tips this is the most important of all.............
STAY HYDRATED!!!!!! 
WATER, WATER,WATER !!!!!!!!
Our diets play a major role in how our hair and skin thrive.  So make sure you drink up or none of these tips will be beneficial !!!

Have a blessed day!
