Beach, Pool & Festival Ready Hair & Skin Hacks

Summer in Australia is all about sun, surf, and festivals, but it’s also a test for your hair and skin. Between UV rays, salt water, chlorine, and heat, it’s easy for hair to dry out, frizz, or fade in colour — and for skin to dehydrate or burn.

Here’s your complete guide for hair and skin hacks so you can look flawless from the beach to the dance floor.

Pre-Sun Hair Prep

Protect your hair before any sun exposure. Sun, wind, and salt can cause dryness, breakage, and frizz.

Hacks:

• Apply a UV-protectant leave-in spray

• Smooth a lightweight shine oil or serum through mid-lengths and ends

• Style hair in braids or buns to reduce sun and wind damage

💡 Products like Aveda Sun Care Protective Hair Mist are perfect for protecting hair while adding shine.

Hydrate Hair Regularly

Hydration keeps hair soft, strong, and beach-ready.

Tips:

• Weekly deep conditioning masks

• Use moisturising shampoo and conditioner

• Apply leave-in hair serum after washing or swimming

✨ Try Aveda Nutriplenish™ Deep Moisture Masque for intense hydration before festivals or trips to the beach.

Protect Hair While Swimming

Pool chlorine and salt water can dry out hair and strip colour.

Pre-swim:

• Rinse hair with fresh water

• Apply a protective leave-in conditioner or oil

• Tie hair in a braid or bun

Post-swim:

• Rinse with fresh water

• Use a sulphate-free shampoo

• Smooth a light serum for softness and shine

💡 A small amount of Aveda Brilliant™ Damage Control helps restore moisture after swimming.

Festival-Ready Styles

Festival hair should be trendy, low-maintenance, and protective.

Styling hacks:

• Loose beach waves with texturising spray

• Sleek low ponytails or buns for hot weather

• Braids or half-up styles to protect hair from wind and sweat

🔥 Always use a heat protectant spray if styling with tools — frizz-free hair lasts all day!

Sun-Safe Skin Tips

Your skin needs just as much attention as your hair in summer.

Beach and festival skin hacks:

• Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ to face and body

• Reapply every 2–3 hours, especially after swimming or sweating

• Use lightweight, hydrating moisturisers

• After sun exposure, soothe skin with a hydrating serum or lotion

💡 Products like Aveda Sun Care Protective Hair & Body Mist help protect skin and hair simultaneously.

Hydration & Recovery

Hydration is key for summer survival.

Tips:

• Drink plenty of water for skin and hair hydration

• Apply hydrating hair and skin serums daily

• Use after-sun treatments on both hair and skin

✨ Aveda’s hydrating serums or masque treatments restore moisture and add shine and softness after long days in the sun.
