Summer Curly Hair Routine: Handling Chlorine and the Sun

Not to worry! You can enjoy the water and sunshine in your curls without having to stress.

Attempting not to get your hair wet while relaxing in a pool isn't always fun, but having to deal with damaged hair is also no fun - especially if you've worked so hard to restore it.

 

The tough reality is that chlorine and the sun's UV rays do leave an impact. Finding a balance between having fun and protecting your hair can be hard, but there are a few products you can use to help reduce the damage without having to refuse pool party invites.

 

Sunscreen for your hair

Flora & Curl's "Protect Me" collection says it all in the name! Formulated with a blend of powerful and rare-to-come-by oils, this range almost acts as sunscreen for your hair and effectively protects it.
