Natural Hairstyles for the Swimming Pool or Beach

Whether you’re headed to your community swimming pool, or hitting the sand for some beach fun, don’t let your hair keep you from enjoying yourself. If you’re looking for some hairstyle ideas that you can wear to the pool or beach, we have you covered.

But first, let’s talk about how you can protect your hair from the chlorine and salt if you plan to wear your hair out. One technique is to saturate the hair with water and conditioner before you go swimming. The idea is that once the hair has absorbed the water and conditioner, it is more difficult for it to absorb the chlorinated or salt water. After you are done playing in the water, be sure to cleanse and condition your hair. If you were in water treated with chlorine, be sure to use a shampoo designed to remove chlorine.
