Essentials: Top 3 Summery Hair Products for the City Girl on the Go

Through the sun, salt water and chlorine-filled adventures coming up, you need to make sure that you prioritize your strands and keep them strong and healthy. That means stashing the right hair products in your suitcase, prepping them before you head out into the sun, and recognizing alerts that tell you it’s time to give your hair some TLC.

Let’s start with summer styles. The beach wave is one of those summer trends that comes back around year after year and serves as the most versatile base for a range of styles. Boho braids? Check. A tousled updo? Of course. A summer wedding-ready half up style? The beach wave has you covered. We suggest investing in a bottle of Suave Professionals Sea Mineral Infusion Texturizing Sea Salt Spray to give you an overnight beach wave. Instant piecey texture… need we say more?

Next up, let’s talk repairing winter damage. Between any heat styling you’re guilty of, the relentlessly drying winter air and the usual wear and tear, it’s probably time to make some reparations. Enter: Apothecare Essentials: The Mender Hair Oil. This oil is one of our favorites because it has all the nutrients and replenishing benefits you’re looking for while still being light enough to keep your hair grease-free. Stash a bottle in your medicine cabinet for easy access post-shower when your hair is still damp. You can also run a dime-sized amount through dry strands first thing in the morning for another dose of nutrients. Think of it as your morning smoothie for your hair.

Last but not least, we want to tackle frizz control. Imagine a summer where you don’t have to worry about heat and humidity – at least as far as your hair is concerned. Incorporate some weekly self-care time into your routine by making TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Mask a part of your regular routine. This mask uses keratin to nourish each individual hair and keep them smooth and frizz-free.
