The Best Natural Oils To Keep Your Hair Happy and Healthy in the Sun

happy-woman-meditating

Summer is finally here! And honestly — I couldn’t be happier about it! These daily doses of vitamin D really help me feel like the best version of myself. However, there’s one part of me that isn’t 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, we’re always (hopefully) protecting our skin with sunscreen. But our hair isn’t too keen on those UV rays either. However, I’m pretty sure that no one wants to apply actual SPF onto their hair. So, what’s 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. I’ve already talked about how this tropical treasure is a powerhouse when it comes to hair care. It’s packed with fatty acids, and it’s the only oil that penetrates deep into the hair shaft. That’s 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? It’s 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. We’ve already talked numerous times about how amazing this oil is, and it’s also a common ingredient in high-end hair care. Just make sure you’re 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 it’s 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 hair/skin related. Jojoba oil closely resembles the natural sebum produced by your scalp, making it an excellent moisturizer that doesn’t 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 sun’s drying effects. Plus, it’s super lightweight, so your hair will stay fresh and bouncy all day.
