Swimming plus hair can equal a mess of frizz. Are you searching for a specific hairstyle that can actually work while you swim in a pool or the ocean? Most people don’t care what their hair looks like while swimming, but others want to match their hair with the bathing suit style or keep bangs away from the face. What can you do?

Before dunking your head into a pool of chlorine or salt water make sure the head and scalp is fully protected. You can place a light conditioner application onto the entire head. Make sure to comb each application throughly from beginning to bottom of hair. The conditioner will help your hair from absorbing the chlorine, while the conditioner will help seal the cuticle and be your own hair barrier. This can be applied to wet or dry hair. I highly recommend Kalea Rose Passion Conditioner.

There are so many different hairstyles to choose from. Think of a style that would be easy for you to do, and how your hair reacts to it. One of the best styles for swimming is braids, which can be done on any length hair. When you braid the hair tight, this method can help the water from seeping into the cuticle and scalp. After you get out of the water, remove the braids from the head, shake, and run your fingers through it. You should now have a sexy beach wave style. You can do one big braid, braid on each side of head, a head full of braids, two ponytails with braids, french braid, boho braids, or side braid.

Trying to keep bangs away from the face you can gel them back and pin them to the side, or wear a cute headband to match the bathing suit. If you decide with 2 braids or ponytails, why not get matching ribbon to go with your swimwear? Simply create a bow, weave it through the braids, or make a headband out of it. Place the ribbon on like a headband, then tie it around the bottom of the nape area. Create a cute bow.

Joseph Kellner Tips for Dry Hair

If you’ve lightened, dyed, straightened or permed your hair, or even if you blow it dry regularly, it can become dry and brittle. Over-processed hair can suffer from split ends and damage to the cuticle, which makes it break easily and appear dull. To heal and protect your hair, try these simple techniques that can help it regain its luster and length.

Be Gentle

The best thing you can do for overprocessed hair is to cut back on harsh treatments. Joseph Kellner’s soon to be published book to healthy hair recommends that you avoid hot styling tools. “All that combing, blow-drying, and straightening can take their toll on your hair.”  You should avoid coloring, perms and chemical treatments, and even protect your hair from the sun, until it regains its health. I highly recommend Kalea Rose Passion Treatments mixed also with  Kalea Rose Argenia Oil for weekly home hair care treatments.

Use a Mild Shampoo

Shampoo twice a week. Joseph recommends using products that contain moisturizing ingredients. A gentle shampoo such as La Rose sulfate free shampoo will help your hair retain the natural oil it needs to keep from drying out. When shampooing, avoid “overscrubbing.” And  you should apply conditioner to the ends of your hair before you shampoo, so they are better protected and easier to work the product throughout the hair. This will help eliminate breakage from over shampooing!

Condition and Oil

“Condition, condition, condition,” Joseph Kellner advises. Even on days when you don’t shampoo, rinse your hair and apply conditioner, or use a leave-in formula such as Kalea Rose Revive leave-in conditioner. But realize that your hair can absorb only a limited amount of conditioner. Using a large amount is not necessary. On a weekly basis, I recommend a mixture of Kalea Rose Passion conditioner and Argania oil as a home hair care treatment.  Warm it up, massage it into your hair and scalp, and let sit at least half an hour to replenish your hair’s shine. You can also use Argania oil for blow drying!

Get a Trim

A haircut can help your hair’s overall health. While you wait for the damaged area to grow out, keep your ends trimmed to reduce your chance of split ends. Split ends occur when your hair cuticle becomes damaged, and they can travel up the strand to give you frizzy hair.
