Protect Your Hair from Saltwater and Chlorine
Saltwater and chlorine can strip your hair of moisture, leaving it dry, brittle, and prone to breakage. Here's how to keep your hair protected and beautiful:
Pre-Treat Your Hair
Before diving in, saturate your hair with clean water or spritz on a leave-in conditioner like Aveda Nutriplenish Leave-In Conditioner. This creates a protective barrier, preventing your hair from soaking up as much salt or chlorine.Rinse Immediately
After swimming, rinse your hair with fresh water as soon as possible to remove salt and chlorine. Follow up with a hydrating shampoo and conditioner, like Surface Purify Shampoo and Surface Bassu Hydrating Conditioner, to cleanse and restore moisture.Deep Conditioning Treatments
Post-swim, use a deep conditioning mask like Aveda Nutriplenish Masque to repair any damage and replenish hydration.
Shield Your Hair from the Sun
Just like your skin, your hair needs protection from harmful UV rays. Prolonged sun exposure can fade color, dry out strands, and leave hair looking dull.
Wear a wide-brimmed hat or a chic scarf to shield your hair and scalp from direct sun exposure while adding a stylish touch to your look.
Embrace Beachy Hairstyles
Spring Break is all about carefree, effortless beauty. These hairstyles not only look great but also work with the elements:

Braids or Twists
Keep your hair secure and tangle-free with braids, twists, or even a fishtail braid. These styles protect your strands while looking effortlessly chic.Messy Bun or Top Knot
