The surfer girl hairstyle often exudes an effortless, beachy vibe that many admire. However, the reality behind this look is far less glamorous. Frequent exposure to saltwater, sun, and wind takes a toll on our hair, leaving it dehydrated, burnt, and frizzy.
The combination of these elements dries hair out, stripping it of its natural oils. Over time, this results in a host of issues such as split ends, tangles, and a lack of shine. Products designed to maintain the surfer aesthetic can sometimes add to the problem, as many may contain ingredients that can further damage and dry out hair.
To keep surf hair looking its best, essential care is needed. Here are some pro tips from my most recent chat with fellow surfer and hair speacialist Jenna.
Rinse hair as soon as you get out of the water
Do not use hair oils in the sun
Apply leave in conditioner to hair after you shower
Avoid hair products with volume.
Get your split ends trimmed every 3 months
