- Leave-in conditioner is essential during the summer months. I love It’s a 10 Miracle Leave-In Product. Before exposing your tresses to salt water, chlorine, or sun exposure, safeguard you hair with a moisturizing, yet light-weight, leave-in conditioner. After the shower, work the leave-in conditioner through the ends of your hair until evenly distributed. Let air-dry or style as desired.
- Soft, natural beach waves are a great look day or night. After the shower, allow hair to air dry half way. Spray your hair generously with a salt spray, Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray works great, then flip your head upside down and diffuse. Finish with a large-barrel curling iron around the front if needed.
- Braids are a great addition to a simple style to add flair and youth. Part your hair to one side and French braid along the hairline to behind the ear. To up the glam factor, pin back and sweep the rest of your hair into a low ponytail. Wrap the ponytail into a messy bun and pin to secure.
