Beachy Summer Hair

Beachy Summer Hair. For a long time, I’ve craved the perfect, wavy beach hair. Much like the model to the left, with her lovely texturized hair that doesn’t appear crunchy, I too desired that result.  I’d heard about other sea salt type texturizers, but I’d never really believed they could be effective for my fine, limp hair. Of course I was also limited by my willingness to purchase products I was unsure about.

AloSun has created two inexpensive products designed to help you achieve that perfect Victoria’s Secret bikini model hair.  The AloSun Hydrating Hair Mask ($5.00) has many features I was excited about.  First of all, I loved the $5.00 price tag, and the fact that the 1.75 oz size makes it perfect for keeping your hair in tact at home or on vacation.  I also loved the ingredients (aloe, olive fruit oil, sweet almond oil) and the way the scent transported me from my shower in Brooklyn to an island far far away.

I was equally as excited to try the AloSun Sea Salt Hair Spray ($5.00), however it’s not the right formulation for my fine & oily prone hair. The scent instantly reminds you of the ocean, but the formula was too heavy and weighed my hair down.  If your hair texture is a little more coarse, I’d recommend checking this product out, for it’s certainly not for the faint of heart.

This experience taught me to be brave and try other hair texturizing products.  While shopping at CVS, on a whim I picked up SunSilk’s Waves of Envy Sea Mist texturizing spray. As with any product, if you don’t use it correctly, you won’t see desired results.  I learned from reading the AloSun label it’s best to twist your hair into rope-like sections to achieve the best beach hair.  After your hair has had the opportunity to set, gently unwind the rope sections and voila! Hooray for beach hair.  The difference between the SunSilk and AloSun texturizers is definitely the formula.  The SunSilk formula uses less oil and is perfect for my hair type - dare I even say drying.  I do notice a significant change in the thickness.

All in all, I’ve used the SunSilk product nearly every day since I’ve purchased it.  I appreciate the added thickness and how much easier my hair is to style.  Point proven - you don’t have to be a Victoria’s Secret model to have great beachy hair!
