While the lazy days on the beach and relaxing in the sun may feel like paradise to you, your hair may not share your view on the matter. The salty water, wind and sand may turn your hair into a tiny disaster. But don't panic -- it’s all solvable.

Scarf it up

The best protection is a cute and trendy scarf or hat. Like this, your hair is protected all the way -- and you don't have to worry about your scalp getting burned.

Cream it in

If you want the freedom of letting your hair loose, you should consider putting some leave-in conditioner on before you head off to the beach.

Even better is to a leave-in product that contains sunscreen. A personal favorite is Redken's Shimmering Defense, UV Rescue. The most efficient is of course to use both a conditioner and a sunscreen.

Another tip for nourishing and keeping your hair frizz free in the moisture is John Freida's Frizz-ease Thermal Protection Serum. Kérastase also has a Crème UV Défense Active -- a UV protection cream made especially for colored hair that is even more sensitive to the sun.

There are plenty of other products to choose from so you can make sure that you protect your hair from the sun -- just as well as you protect your body!
