Tips+Tricks for Healthy Summer Hair
The Best Beachy Waves
Doesn't everyone have a good hair day when they are sitting at the beach? Want to know why? Sea salt creates volume+ texture. After a good dose of earthy, salty ocean waves your hair just has that perfectly tousled look+feel.
Want to know our little secret for recreating that look? We don't add any oil to our Patchouli Tangerine+Sea Salt Texturizing Spray. Most other sea salt sprays combine a strong solution of salt with a dose of oil (to counteract the supposedly drying effect of salt). Not a winning combination for anyone with hair on the finer side. It just leads to a heavy grungy feeling super quickly.
Instead, we leave the salt solution on the gentler side and include our own hops infusion to help pump up the volume+increase shine and hair health. And the scent? Earthy, salty patchouli with a happy dose of sunshine+tangerine? Yes, please!
Smooth Summer Style
Do you love, love summer but feel like it causes your hair to have issues? Summer weather typically creates 2 extremes for your hair. The sun+heat cause dehydration/moisture loss leaving your hair feeling dry and straw like. Or, humidity in the air is causing constant frizz.
If you haven't tried our LavenderMint+WildClover Hydrating Mist yet, you are missing out. Lighter+ more refreshing feeling than water, we use organic aloe vera+our own light wild clover infusion to quench your hair and keep the frizz away. It is a leave-in conditioner, detangler, hair refresher, curl bouncer, shine enhancer. It's truly our holy grail product for hair!
Bonus: it feels amazing on your skin-so definitely pack it in your bag for sitting at the beach.
Winning Combination
We recently discovered the power of layering our texturizing Patchouli Tangerine + Sea Salt Spray and Lavender Mint+Clover Hydrating Mist--WOW is this a gamechanger for our hair!
Our Hydrating Mist creates a protective light moisture barrier and also promotes natural wave. When it's layered with the Patchouli Tangerine+Sea Salt Spray it creates hold, and the results are soft, layered, beachy style...Texture AND Hydration--We LOVE it and so does our hair!
Have you tried it?!?
What about UV + Heat Protection in the summer sun?
If you are dehydrating your hair by blow drying and heat styling, a heat protectant has a specific job to do. As always, we're committed to great styling while keeping it silicone free-and we've added on the extra layer of UV protection.
We’re looking for humectants that will hold the moisture in, amino acids or proteins that will strengthen and support your hair and extracts that will protect and seal the cuticle and also give good slip so that heat tools will not snag and drag in your hair. Anti-oxidants are a bonus since they protect against oxidation in hair. Specifically, in our HoneyBlossom + Marshmallow Root UV + Heat Protectant, we add hydrolyzed honey for it's detangling and moisture holding properties and quinoa protein for protective amino acids and sunflower powder for it's uv shielding.
Whatever your goal for your hair this summer, we're here to help!
