Hair Hacks: Stay Stylish Without the Stress
Here are a few pro tips to keep your locks looking fresh—without overpacking or overstyling.
Rinse Before You Dive: Give your hair a quick rinse with fresh water before swimming to prevent it from absorbing chlorine or salt, which can lead to dryness and damage.
Get More Miles from Your Styles: Dry shampoo and texture sprays can help extend your style between washes, while a flexible hold hairspray keeps everything in place without stiffness.
Go with the Flow: Instead of fighting the elements, work with them. Beachy waves, loose buns, and textured ponytails thrive in humid or windy weather giving you that tousled free spirited vibe.
