How To Protect Your Hair From The Sun, Chlorine & Salt Water When Swimming

Hey guys so today I will give you tips on how to keep your hair, healthy and hydrated during this hot summer season, especially if you're going to the beach or to the pool to where your hair is going to be exposed in salt, water and in chlorine. Alright, so let's get started okay, so we all know that the presence of chlorine in pool water can dry out your hair, and if you expose your hair for too long on chlorinated water, it can potentially make your hair brittle if your hair is damaged, especially if You'Re fond of swimming every day, so that's why it is very important to prep and protect your hair before going into the pool or going to the beach. So if you're putting sunscreen on your skin before bathing in the Sun, I found if we should do the same with our hair. So I discovered that the heat protectant spray works just as fine to use as a sunscreen protection for your hair. So the heat protectant from HSI has argan oil. So not only does it protect your hair from the heat, but argan oil is known to act as a natural moisturizer for dry scalp and brittle hair, so this can actually protect your hair and your scalp as well. So you can go ahead and spray that all over your hair, especially on your ends, and we found that this is actually a good hack to use. If you don't have coconut oil on hand or if you don't have any other oils with you or your hair. Sunscreen when you go swimming so the next one, there's also good to use and apply on your hair is using the Moroccan argan oil. Since we live here in the Philippines, the heat is crazy, so just for extra protection, I let my sister use the Moroccan argan oil that I have here to protect her hair and in here you can use the spray form of argan oil or just the oil Form - and you can put this specifically on your ends just to make sure that they don't dry out when you soak your hair in the water for a long period of time. Okay, so now on to the hairstyles, I find that the best protective hairstyles to wear when you swim in the pool is braids. Not only is it going to keep your hair from getting tangled, but braids always look good on anyone's hair plus. If you have long hair like mine, you really need to do the step, because otherwise you will look attacked when you get out of the water. So you can do Dutch, braids, french braids lace, braids and the list goes on and on so for my sister. I just did two Dutch braids on her hair. Now this is optional, but you can also use any leave-in conditioner or any leave-in oils on your braids to help secure them now. For me, this is good to add on because it will be easier for you to unravel your braids once you're done swimming, especially in salt water, because soaking your hair for too long in salt or chlorinated water can actually make your hair really sticky. So I find that this step is going to keep your hair manageable. Okay. So now, after that, you have enjoyed swimming in the pool or maybe based on the beach. The aftercare is very important, so the recommended shampoo to use after swimming is using a clarifying shampoo, and this is just going to rinse out the chlorine water off your hair or the saltwater off your hair or whatever, gunk or dirt, that you may have attractive on Your hair, while swimming okay, so after that you wash your hair, it is also very ideal to use a deep conditioning masks and my favorites are the one from hair fix. I really like this one just because it has a cap and the treatment is inside. So you just let it chill on your hair for 15 minutes and then wash it off and then the other mask is the hair mask that I'm recommending my sister to use on her hair because her hair is dyed and she is combating dryness right now. So this mask really helps with that, and then the third is the one that I'm currently using and I have been loving and this one is the coconut and blackberry hair mask, and this mask is really great for making your hair really soft and deep moisturizing. Your hair is a must because it is going to keep your hair healthy and hydrated again after you swim, and also just in case, if you aren't able to prep your hair before getting into the pool or if your hair is extra fragile. It is good to use a detangler after you wash your hair and use a wide tooth brush or a detangling comb while combing or brushing your hair. Also, I always believe in treating your hair or or giving your hair some vitamins as well, so you can use whatever hair vitamins that you have. My favorite is my dove oil serum. So if you guys have been watching me for a really long time, you'd know that this is one of my favorite hair treatments. So as soon as your hair dries, you can apply this on your ends and onto the areas of your hair that needs hydration.
