We have come to summer, and it is time to enjoy the holidays, of the longest days and good weather without worrying about anything. But be careful, because having a good time does not imply that we stop taking care of ourselves, since this is something that is great for our self-esteem, something that we must take care of every day.
Today we are going to talk about hair care on the beach or in the pool. And it is that if we do not want to reach the end of summer with our beautiful damaged hair, it is best that we have some previous care so as not to have to make a big cut when autumn arrives to clean up.

Cut before or after?
Surely you have considered whether you should cut your hair before the summer or after. The truth is that hair should be cut every two months or so, depending on how fast it grows. It is good that before the beach season you cut the tips, so that they are healthy, and then cut them again, so that the tips do not open.
Toiletry bag for the beach or pool
Yes, it is true, women are always fully prepared for any eventuality. You can have a toiletry bag with hair care products, like sunscreen. It is also convenient that you bring a comb or brush to detangle the hair. After entering the water, you must go through the showers on the beach or pool, to remove the traces of salt or chlorine that can harm your hair. As interesting accessories you can take a scarf to put on your head, so that your hair does not bother you, or a thick rubber band that does not damage it, to have it tied.
After the beach
When we arrive from the beach we must wash our hair with the usual products and use the mask to ensure that the hair does not dry out, which is the main problem during the summer. You can use conventional masks, or use very effective natural products, such as coconut oil, which will help not only to keep the hair hydrated, but also to give it shine and remove dandruff, a problem that is accentuated at times.
