In both cases, some caution needs to be taken to maintain healthy hair by unlocking summer-ready hair.

Here are some tips for unlocking summer-ready hair

Avoid midday swimming

Although swimming under the sun can be refreshing, the heat from the sun can still damage your locks a lot. To combat this, avoid the peak sun times, or wear a sunhat to protect your hair.

Remember to protect your hair!

From indoor and outdoor swimming pools to swimming in the open sea, you always need to keep your protectant handy. The Hair Addict’s The Swim-Proof Recipe is a 100% natural hair spray with a mix of jojoba oil, orange extract, and nutritious vitamins that minimize the harmful effects of chlorine and harmful UV rays in your hair to keep your hair frizz-free and shiny.

Incorporate Frizz-Off Kit into your routine

Hydrate inside and out

Staying hydrated is not only very important for healthy skin, but it’s also vital for healthy and hydrated hair as well. When you’re dehydrated, your body may redirect water away from non-essential organs like your hair follicles, which can slow down or even halt hair growth and cause flakiness and hair loss. Aside from drinking 8 glasses of H2O a day, you can also treat your hair to a Leave-in Conditioner to replenish the hydration after swimming.
