The Best Natural Oils To Keep Your Hair Happy and Healthy in the Sun
Summer is finally here And honestly I couldnt be happier about it These daily doses of vitamin D really help me feel like the best version of myself However theres one part of me that isnt particularly happy about it my hair You see I usually have pretty good healthy hair However once summer hits and I start spending my weekends basking in the sun next to a pool my hair literally starts to hate me And honestly it does make quite a bit of sense
I mean were always hopefully protecting our skin with sunscreen But our hair isnt too keen on those UV rays either However Im pretty sure that no one wants to apply actual SPF onto their hair So whats the solution Natural oils of course And here are some of the best ones that will keep your hair happy and healthy all summer long
Coconut Oil
Of course I have to start this list with my absolute favorite oil of all time coconut oil Ive already talked about how this tropical treasure is a powerhouse when it comes to hair care Its packed with fatty acids and its the only oil that penetrates deep into the hair shaft Thats exciting the reason why it also provides intense hydration and nourishment Additionally this is also one of the cheapest ones on this list which makes it a no brainer in my opinion
How to use it Its quite simple Before heading out into the sun apply a small amount of coconut oil to your hair focusing on the ends This will help protect your hair from UV damage and keep it from drying out Plus it smells like a day at the beach so you can enjoy those summer vibes all day long
Argan Oil
Argan oil also known as liquid gold is a must have for keeping your hair shiny and healthy Rich in antioxidants vitamin E and essential fatty acids argan oil not only hydrates your hair but also protects it from environmental damage including harsh UV rays Weve already talked numerous times about how amazing this oil is and its also a common ingredient in high end hair care Just make sure youre getting the cold pressed version of it
This is a fairly light oil which is great for finer hair types Simply warm a few drops in your hands and run them through your hair concentrating on the ends and any dry areas Because its non greasy you can use it daily without weighing your hair down Just remember less is more
Jojoba Oil
Ahhh another oil that always has to find its place on our lists for the best natural oils for anything hairskin related Jojoba oil closely resembles the natural sebum produced by your scalp making it an excellent moisturizer that doesnt leave your hair greasy It also helps lock in moisture repair damage and even promote hair growth
For sun protection apply a few drops of jojoba oil to your hair before heading outside It will create a barrier that shields your hair from the suns drying effects Plus its super lightweight so your hair will stay fresh and bouncy all day
