Thirsty Hair

If you go swimming – you’re drying out your hair...

I’ll tell you what to do before you take the plunge, in a moment…Payoff:Summer fun can be brutal on your hair. Sun, salt and chlorine suck the natural oils and moisture right out of there. If you like to swim – there’s an easy trick to protect your hair. Just saturate it with clean water first. If your hair is already wet, it will absorb a lot less of the salt or chlorine you’re about to submerge into.

If you’ve got dry hair to start with – consider applying some natural oil before you take the plunge. That will provide a barrier and keep it hydrated. There are also sun screen hair products available – but a hat is your best bet if you’ll be in the sun all day.
