Fight the frizz

Both straight and curly locks can frizz in the summer. You can get a smoother look by using a frizz-fighting shampoo, which helps hair fibers retain the right moisture level to avoid drying out, which means less frizz.

Try this: John Frieda Frizz Ease Smooth Start Hydrating Shampoo ($6), which smooths and hydrates hair for a sleek, frizz-free look.

Keep your color

The sun can be brutal on unprotected hair. If you color your hair, look for an at-home color system that includes a moisturizing conditioner to nourish hair.

Try this: Clairol Natural Instincts ($9)You can also consider adding some summery highlights to your hair — dark tresses look sweet with caramel-colored strands.

Prevent damage

Don't let split ends spill over your shoulder when you let your hair down at the beach. Prevent damage and maintain your hair's health with a product that seals split ends and boosts shine. Leave it in to get protective conditioning and block breakage.

Try this: Josie Maran Argan Oil Hair Serum ($12), an intense moisurizing treatment that penetrates the hair shaft for maximum hair health all summer long.
