The hair at the sea must be protected, so much when the skin: the atmospheric agents such as sun and wind, together with the salt air, can make them less beautiful and healthy.
By resorting to some very simple natural remedies it is possible to take care of them, preventing them from being ruined.
What to do for the hair before going to the beach
Before going to the beach, in addition to remembering to protect the skin of the body and face with a cream that has an adequate protection factor, let's take care of the hair.
There are many specific products on the market, to be used on the hair to protect it from sun and salt, and you can choose the one that best suits your needs, your tastes and even your pockets. However, since we like natural products, we recommend some vegetable oils, perfect for hair beauty .
The oils should be spread over the entire length of the foliage, with the help of hands or a comb. A small amount is enough. For best results, they should be used on slightly damp hair. If you have long hair, it would be ideal to collect it after treating it with oil.
Vegetable oils should be used before going to the beach and left at home, in a cool place away from light and direct sources of heat, as they tend to go rancid. Let us see then specifically which ones to use.

Coconut hair oil for the sea
Coconut oil is one of the most used summer hair oils, also thanks to its low cost and easy availability. If you really need to bring the oil to the beach, choose this because it is more resistant to rancidity.
Coconut oil is commercially available both pure and diluted with other oils; both solutions are good; the important thing, if you want a natural product, is to check on the INCI that is diluted with other vegetable oils (for example, argan oil) and not with mineral oils (for example, paraffinum liquidum).
Wheat germ oil for sea hair
Wheat germ oil is another well-known oil when it comes to hair beauty. If you want to work from the inside, as well as applying it to the hair before going to the beach, you can buy pearls of wheat germ oil for a few weeks before and during the holiday.
Argan oil for sea hair
Argan oil is applied in the same way as others. However, be careful to choose a truly natural product. Often, products sold as argan oil actually contain a small amount and are mixed with mineral oils.
Desert date oil for sea hair
