No one has ever said, "I don't want to have beachy, wavy, voluminous hair." Beach hair will never go out of style as it is casual and elegant at the same time. Here's why everyone is crazy about the Gisele Bündchen style. Her hair looks like it doesn't take a lot of work and is perfect for any occasion. However, we are told that sea water is harmful to our hair… But is this really true?
Salt water can be both beneficial and harmful. We list below all the effects it can have on your hair… for better or for worse.
- She can be a great texturizer
Salt water shapes your hair and leaves it with a livelier texture, but that doesn't mean you should leave your hair in the sea for hours. Soaking your hair for a long time can leave it dry, brittle and tangled. Doing this over and over again can wear you out even more.
- She can degrease your hair
Sea water is rich in sodium chloride, also known as table salt. It can be useful for those who have oily hair or scalp problems. In addition, it can also help relieve itchiness and stubborn dandruff.
- But it can also cause dehydration.
Due to the high salt content, your hair ends up losing a lot of water. And when your hair gets completely dry, you end up losing moisture from the fibers of the strands, leaving you with brittle hair. Yeah, that sucks. To combat this situation, prepare your hair beforehand with moisturizing creams and conditioners — including products made especially for the sea and pool. Other than that, don't forget to rinse your hair thoroughly after a dip.
