Five Steps To Healthy, Happy Summer Hair

Ladies, it's summer time! Which means endless trips to the beach and pool, along with some much needed vitamin D. As much as we love the sun, sand, and pool water, we have to remember that our hair doesn't love it so much. These tips will keep your hair shiny and moisturized all summer long!

1. Stay moisturized.

Besides keeping your skin soft and healthy, it's extremely important to always make sure your hair is moisturized as well. This can easily be achieved by applying a leave-in conditioner to your hair when you go in the ocean or the pool. A leave in conditioner can help seal hair cuticles to protect them from harsh chemicals like chlorine. We suggest It's A 10 Miracle Leave-in to keep your hair healthy.

2. Sea Salt Spray.

Have you always dreamed of having those summer beach waves? You can get this ultimate summer hair style without even going to the beach! Just apply a Sea Salt Spray to your damp or dry hair. We suggest Bumble and Bumble's Surf Spray to give you those waves you desire.

3. Keep up on haircuts.

I know a lot of us hate cutting off our long mermaid hair, but unfortunately, it's necessary to trim your hair in order to keep it healthy. The sun kills your hair in the summer by drying it out more than ever. Getting your hair trimmed frequently will actually make way for it to grow longer and healthier.

4. Protect your blonde hair.

Every blonde knows the struggle of keeping her hair color fresh in the summer. Whether the chlorine turns it green or the sun makes it way too light, blonde hair is hard to manage in the summer time. You definitely want to watch out for that brassy color that comes from the sun. To do this just apply a product like It's A Ten For Blonde's. This line has many products specially made for blonde hair. Spraying the Miracle Leave-in For Blonde's before going out into the sun can protect it from turning into that brassy color you've been trying to avoid.

5. Back to Moisturizing.

Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! I can't say it enough. It's one of the most important things for your hair. Another trick to keep your hair happy is to sleep or sun bathe with conditioner in your hair. This will revitalize your hair and make sure it's shiny and healthy. Another tip is to use Paul Mitchell's Tea Tree Shampoo to keep your scalp from drying out from the harsh rays of the sun.

We all want that perfect summer hair, which is easy to achieve as long as we protect it, stay moisturized, and follow these other tips to keep the sun and chemicals from harming your hair.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
