1 . Use Baking Soda to Lighten Your Hair
If you want to naturally lighten your hair without going to the salon, look no further than your kitchen! Just make a paste with baking soda and water, and work it into your hair while you are in the shower. Then, wash your hair like you normally would. It’ll lighten your locks and naturally strip hair product build-up at the same time. Bonus!
2. Spritz Apple Cider Vinegar on Your Hair to Protect Your Color
Apple cider vinegar works wonders for protecting your hair color from the sun, salt, wind and chlorine. Just add apple cider vinegar to a squirt bottle, spritz your hair after a fun day in the sun, allow to set for about 15 minutes and then wash out. Easy.
3. Use Conditioner to Prevent Hair Turning Green
If you are a big swimmer during the summer and have blonde hair, chances are you might battle with greenish tinted hair from the chlorine. Before you jump in the pool, apply leave-in conditioner to your hair. When you are done swimming, be sure to rinse your hair with clean water!
4. Use Dry Shampoo at Night to Absorb Oil
Dry shampoo is our friend year round, but we recommend using it at night during the summer. Apply your favorite dry shampoo at night so that it has much more time to do its job, absorbing oils and giving your hair added volume!
5. Prevent Blisters with Deodorant
It’s definitely sandal time, which means time to take care of your feet! (smiling) The easiest way to prevent blisters that appear as a result of chafing from sweat due to that summer heat is to use deodorant on your feet. Just apply the deodorant to your ankles and toes and your feet will thank you.
6. Use Dryer Sheets for Static in Your Hair
If you live in one of the areas of the world that gets extra dry during the summer, then you are going to love this static removing hack! Keep dryer sheets on hand for static in your hair. Just rub the dryer sheet over your hair if it gets static friction and it’ll immediately calm the static down.
7. Use Baby Powder to Prevent Razor Burn
Dust baby powder over your legs and bikini line after shaving to prevent razor burn. It feels soothing and works wonders.
8. Store Your Nail Polish in the Fridge
