Spring Break Hair Care Guide
Spring Break! Just after winter when the lure of sunshine is just too hard to ignore and the family has to get away just to maintain their sanity. Head to the beach, a pool or just make the most of a good old fashioned “staycation”. But, whatever you do take Design Essentials, some good advice and a camera to capture picture perfect memories.
No matter where you go, sun damage to hair and skin can happen anywhere.
The sun’s rays cause hair to lighten and lead to dry, brittle hair and split ends. The best protection for hair is a hat, but just like skin a good dose of moisture prior to sun exposure can work wonders. A double moisture boost with Rosemary Mint Super Moisturizing Conditioner and Kukui & Coconut Leave-In Conditioner can give hair the protection it needs to make it through a few days of fun in the sun
Going to the beach? Besides the sun, you hair’s greatest enemy is the salt. It can build up on hair and cause dryness, making hair difficult to manage and comb. The best solution is a light shampoo or a good co-wash with DE Natural Moisturizing Conditioner once you come out of the water.
With kids that will want to get in the water every day, the bare minimum that you can do is a thorough rinsing afterwards and some daily moisture maintenance with Almond Butter Express Instant Conditioner and Bamboo & Silk HCO Leave-In Conditioner. Just make sure your little girl’s hair is in a confined style like braids plats or twists so that you don’t end up with a tangled mess and the tears that are sure to follow. At the end of the vacation, plan for a deep conditioner and moisture infusing twists or plats with the DE Natural Curl Stretching Cream and Daily Moisturizing Lotion.
Not going anywhere?
The money saving staycation can be just as relaxing and fun. Finally, some free time to take care of some things around the house, a little quality family time around town or just chill which, let’s face it, you NEVER get to do when you’re at home. Now that you have some time, you can even treat your hair to a spa day and one of those intricate natural styles on You Tube. For lasting hold and definition be sure to use the DE Natural Defining Cream Gel along with the Daily Moisturizing Lotion for lasting moisture.
Whatever you do and wherever you go, don’t complicate things. A “Break” is supposed to be relaxing, so keep the styles easy and low maintenance by bringing headbands and ponytail holders, a carefree attitude, and your Design Essentials products, especially the new conveniently sized DE Natural Creams. You’ll be back in the routine of school and work soon enough, so just enjoy!
