5 Common Mistakes People Make with Sun and Saltwater Hair Protection and How to Avoid Them

When it comes to protecting your hair from sun and saltwater damage, it's easy to make a few mistakes. Whether you're headed to the beach, pool, or even just out for a sunny day, here are five mistakes you might be making—and how to fix them.

Mistake #1: Skipping Hair Protection Many people only think about sunscreen for their skin and forget their hair. Hair, especially color-treated or fine hair, is just as vulnerable to UV rays.

Solution: Always use a UV hair protection spray before heading out in the sun. Our spray creates a protective layer that helps maintain your hair’s integrity while keeping it hydrated and glossy.

Mistake #2: Over-Washing Hair After Swimming After a day in the sun and saltwater, it’s tempting to wash hair immediately. But shampooing too often strips hair of its natural oils, leading to even more dryness.

Solution: Rinse your hair with fresh water first to remove salt, then use a gentle shampoo. Follow up with a nourishing conditioner and finish with our UV and saltwater protection spray to lock in moisture.

Mistake #3: Using the Wrong Products Not all hair products are made for sun exposure or saltwater protection. Some hair products can weigh hair down or cause more damage over time.

Solution: Use a lightweight protection spray designed to shield hair from both UV rays and saltwater. Our formula contains natural oils like coconut and argan oil to hydrate and protect without the heavy residue.

Mistake #4: Not Reapplying Protection A one-time application of product may not be enough if you spend hours in the sun or swim frequently. Hair can quickly lose its protective barrier.

Solution: Reapply our UV and saltwater protection spray every few hours, especially after swimming or towel-drying hair.

Mistake #5: Ignoring Hydration Sun and saltwater dehydrate hair, leading to frizz, breakage, and dullness. Many people forget that their hair needs hydration, not just protection.

Solution: Hydrate with leave-in conditioners, oils, and serums specifically formulated for sun exposure. Our spray not only protects but also hydrates and nourishes your hair.
