How To Protect Your Hair While Swimming | Relaxed & Natural Hair | Even In Chlorine & Salt Water

Hello, so it's any on the show here and I'm back with another video and I'm kind of excited, because I have not done a sit-down video with you guys and like forever. So I'm going to jump right into today's little video and this one is pretty much going to be about how I personally maintained my hair when I went to why, as well as some of the different ways that you can protect your hair the summer. If you are looking to go swimming and things of that nature, first things first, if you get, are interested in how I personally protected my hair this summer, um that blue Tibbett is going to be towards the end of the video and for those that truly want To know about how to in general, protect your hair we're going to jump right into that segment. So first of the thing that you want to keep in mind is that there are, of course, traditional ways to keep your hair protected during the summer. If you are an african-american woman, first of all or just black woman in general, so first of all we have the wearing your hair in braids. You can do the same thing. Glia twists help you pronounce it. You can do the individual braids box braids. Anything of that nature, if you plan on going on a trip box, braids, are always a great alternative to just kind of leave your hair be for the week and you just pretty much set it and forget it. I don't really want to say that, but you know you can pretty much, not it's just it's pretty much a carefree style versus some of the other alternatives that I am going to mention. Elf is, of course weaves. You can get it so in and just pretty much braid your hair up get a professional to do it get your girlfriend and do it girlfriend to do it. You know pretty much whatever it is that you know that. Can you know do so in to do your hair for you before going on that trip? It'S a great way kind of let your hair be once again, but is a little bit more maintenance to take care of versus the box bridge, because you do have to maintain the hair that is sewn into the weave, and that goes for crochet hair. You know any type of hair we will, where you're sewing it into your actual hair strands. Okay. So the third option is that if you do choose to venture out and wear your own hair, this of course is going to be the most high-maintenance hairstyle to kind of maintain during a vacation or swimming or anything that nature you can do it. It can be done. You know there have been plenty of trips where I have rocked my own hair, and you know it. Everything worked out perfectly fine. So if you do choose to wear your own hair, do it. You know the one thing that you have to keep in mind is the best way to protect your hair, while you're on this vacation is, if you're going to be wearing your own hair. What you want to do is you give it a spray bottle and you put water in it, and you put your leave-in, I like to use the hello hydration conditioner and what I do is before I hit the water before I hit the chlorine. I spritz my hair with that water mixture and that health hydration, so that my hair is absorbing all of that product and it's not going to absorb as much chlorine if I had not done this frying technique or spraying the mixture on my hair. First, what you want to keep in mind - and this goes with all ethnicities - our hair is like a sponge. Your hair absorbs product, your hair absorbs water, it is a sponge. So if you plan on going to the water park going to the beach, you know whatever it is that you're going to. If you want to protect your hair, you have to make sure that before you jump in the water, or do you have some winds, we're so is a so men brains. You know whatever makes that you wash not wash your hair but like get it damp and wet first before you get in there, and then this way that we get in the water, your hair won't absorb as much chlorine or salt, water or ocean water that it Would have without you doing that, so every time you get ready to hit the water go ahead and spritz your hair, get that mixture and then make sure your hair absorbs as much good things as possible so that when you hit the bad water, your hair is Less likely to absorb the bad water, and that's just a little trick that you want to remember every single time you get ready to get into the water and then of course, afterwards. You want to make sure that you have your shampoo on deck um in your conditioner. I don't care who you roll away. You'Ll be like girl. Give me five minutes. You rinse that chlorine out that salt water, whatever it is, rinse your hair out. I don't care how pressed for time you are you make time you get out like if your friends like hey, we leaving at 5:30, get out of the water at like 5:20. You know give yourself enough time to make sure that you know you can at least rinse your hair with the water and, if you possibly can with the shampoo and conditioner too, while you're there and another good trick is, if you do have enough time, which are A conditioner make sure that you wash your hair, we're at the park or the pool or whatever and shampoo your hair put the conditioner on your hair leave in whatever. Sometimes I bring that little to go pack of the. What is it the yellow pack of the protein, the replenishing path by olive oil, I'll beam that along and put a little bit on my hair and just let it sit so that by the time I leave in the park, you know my hair's just got that Conditioner on there and it's the wash and shampoo and it's good to go and then when I get home you know I obviously I'm gon na do a double wash and make sure it's thoroughly cleaned and properly I'm shampooed and all that good stuff. But you can at least do like a quickie while you're there, so that you're making sure that your hair is as healthy as possible. This is just something you want to keep in mind if you want to maintain your hair and make sure that your hair is nice and healthy. Now, if you are like a swimmer and you are swimming on the daily or things of that nature, I would definitely suggest getting like a weave or so in during your meets or something like that, so that you're not putting as much stress on your hair, because Washing it more frequently is going to be a lot harder to do when your hair is just out and about like this versus, if it's just embrace, I would say above all else, if you're doing swim, knees and things of that definitely or you're going to like Camp or something like that, definitely get the individual braids because those are going to be. You know, like I said the least maintenance, and it's going to be easier for you to take care of your hair versus anything else versus oowee versus wearing your own hair, because anything else it's just going to be. The easiest also make sure that you are putting your hair in a bun if you plan to wear your real hair when you're out swimming. This is another great way to just kind of keep your hair off and it won't absorb as much of the bad water while you're in it versus if your hair is just hanging loose like. I know we like to look cute while we swim in an air, but if you want to keep your hair on your hand, this is not the time to be looking cute. Keep your hair and a bun tight, bun tied up, don't let it you know, be loose and lingering in the water. No, no! No! No! We'Re trying to protect our strands so put it up. Ladies put it up, I so for those of you are who are wondering about my second little tidbit of the video I'm talking about how I maintain my hair in Hawaii. Here goes so, if you guys have been following this channel, you know that I went to why about what was a good like three months ago. Now, I think, or two months ago, um I'm not doing the math right now so yeah it was. Maybe it was a while ago um, so we went to why my boyfriend and I and I pretty much at first I was like yeah, I'm gon na rock my hair to hold a Kenshin. I'M gon na be good. I'M just gon na be rockin, my hair, I'm just cuz. You know my boyfriend likes it when I with my own hair. So I'm like you know my name if you like filling me, while we on this trip, so I'm like. Okay, I'm just gon na wear. My hair the whole time - and you guys know that my one of my good friends is having a wedding like a month after we had one too right. So I was like you know what I really don't want my hair to get messed up. Um. My hair is going to be going through a lot when I get back because I'm gon na have to relax it, and then I'm gon na have to I'm gon na have to do that. Tms kit, when I'm straightening it. So you know what maybe I should go ahead and rock a wig on this trip. Now, I'm not gon na lie. You guys that wig has some horrible days on that vacation do with some things, but I was just looking rough, but did I care? Do my boyfriend care no cuz, we were having fun and we were in freakin Hawaii, but you know I'm so glad that I brought that wave along because first I started off with the wig and then as a vacation kind of went along. We were doing so much swimming themselves. I had to you, know, take the wig off from time to time, just simply because my hair needed to breathe. You know like I didn't, want my hair, like mill, dueling up or having some type of weird. You know get some type of weird like scalp infection or something because my hair wasn't like breathing properly and it was so dead. Anyone in like working out so there were times when I would pretty much wear my wig, and there were times where I would wear my own hair so like the first couple of days was wid days and then about midway into the trip we started swimming in The pool and stuff like that and I was pretty much rocking wash and gos, and I will be showing you guys how I do the washer goes with this tech slacks hair. This was the first time while I was on vacation that I actually attempted to do or wash and go because they were just dead. So I'm just like okay, we will go to the pool and a we will go to the beach and then be like. Okay. Now, what now? What am I going to do with my hair? Because you know I washed it? I can't you know, do a style. Obviously this is my time or whatever dinner. So I pretty much did a lot of watching those um. I will be showing you guys how I do that, but I probably won't show you in so August because right now, this new broke up in here is real. I am about seven weeks post, but but it feels like it's more like ten, because I have been working out and eating right. So the new growth in the summertime - and you know your hair - grows faster in summertime. So my hair is just own ten. With the growth right now, so I will be showing you guys that and August I promise you promise you. I will do a brush and go tutorial on this for B for C for a whatever this texture is text box hair. I will show you guys. I promise promise promise promise cross my heart, okay, so look out for that and I'll guess. I will be doing one for sure for sure for sure, and I did a lot of watch egos. I did a lot of just kind of buns when we're at the pool like I'd mentioned earlier. You know if you're going to be going swimming, keep that keep those strands up. We hear the water park at one point you know so yeah. There were definitely a lot of days where my hair was just kind of getting splish Splash with the water and all that other stuff. But I made sure that I you know I took a really long time when I got water park it was like. Was there alive, I was like yeah, even though there really was. It was like what took you so long. Now I made time to wash my hair cuz. I was not leaving that Park with chlorine in my hair. I was just no. He was no way. He was gon na have to wait any waited so yeah. I hope he's not watching this video but yeah. He is so personalized mocking anyway, so you know you have to make time to make sure that your hair is wash and condition and all that other good stuff. So I made sure and then when we got back to the room, I watched it again just to be sure that my hair was nice and healthy, and I really did you know I didn't have any problems with my hair. You know my boyfriend loves me. He knows me, he knows that sometimes I were awake. He knows that I had beautiful hair underneath you know he wasn't making a big deal about it. Yes, I could have went with the braids. I could have went with the sewing, but that's not really me. Y'All know I'm a weird person and I we get up, and over Sunday is another occasion of Warwick some days I wore my own here. To be completely honest. I wasn't too much like stressing about how I looked on that vacation, like y'all, saw the video barely wearing any makeup when I was just having so much fun. It was just like you just kind of like Here. I am you love me anyway type of thing. I wasn't really thinking about being glamorous on that front during that vacation. I was thinking about. You know having a good time. My man, you know he loves me regardless so um yeah. I don't know why. I said that, but yeah I mean he you know was just rolling with whatever look I had that day and obviously he thinks I'm so cute without all that other stuff anyway, but yeah um yeah, I mean you just you got to do what you got to Do and I didn't want to take a chance with individual words or so on, because I've never I've had individual breaks and I was a little girl and it wasn't exactly the best experience for me personally and you know: I've never had a selling before ever in Life and it wasn't something I was about to do for one vacation, you know for a week: it's just not me, I'm a weak person.
