3 Memorial Day Weekend Haircare Tips

The long Memorial Day weekend, filled with block parties and barbecues, is approaching. Get your hair Memorial Day ready by following these tips to ensure your locks are the best they can be, all while enjoying your summer kick-off.

Wet Before the Soak 

When summer parties come along, swimming is always a relevant activity. Whether you are in the ocean or a friend's pool, your hair can still get damaged. By dipping your hair in fresh water before submerging fully, you can limit the negative effects of the chlorine and salt water. Using a hydrating product is an excellent way to help protect as well.

Cover up

When you are spending long periods of time outside at barbecues it can be hard to remember to find shade for your locks. A good way to reduce sun damage and remain fashionable is by wearing a protective layer such as a baseball cap, sun hat or a scarf. 

Wash Less

Washing your hair everyday strips the scalp of its natural oils. So limiting your wash cycle to once or twice a week will help you retain those oils. Instead try rinsing more often with little to no product. Another remedy can be mixing in a dry shampoo to your regimen. Lastly it has been known that using a cotton ball soaked in witch hazel is a quick fix to absorbing excess oils.  

Grab your towels, sunglasses and good spirits. Time to swim, eat and have fun. Following these steps will make you and your hair both ready for the memorial day weekend parties.
