Quick+Easy Tips on Caring for Your Natural Hair at the Beach

Quick+Easy Tips on Caring for Your Natural Hair at the Beach

“That heat rolls in and I simply can’t be bothered with spending time on my hair.” So I am super lazy to care my hair in the summer.

Here is some easiest ways to care hair.

Pre-Swim

– Apply coconut oil, preferably the night before, to strengthen the hair shaft and provide extra protection against chlorine

– Don’t fully wash your hair before heading to the beach/pool, you already have a build up of sweat and natural oils that create a barrier, making it more difficult for harsh waters to penetrate the hair shaft.

– Style your hair in a way that is can easily move from wet hair to styled hair post swim

– If you’re planning an extended sunny getaway consider having braids or twist extensions put in.

While Catching Some Rays

– Mix glycerin with aloe vera juice to make a DIY pre-ocean spray to spritz on your locks

– Apply a generous amount of leave-in-conditioner with SPF.

– Protect your curls from the sunny rays by wearing hats or scarves outside the water.

While Taking a Dip

– Saturate your hair at least 5 minutes before taking a dip. Wet hair will soak up less chlorine or sea salt than dry hair.

– If you have longer hair, tie it up in a big braid or bun to keep it from getting matted and tangled.

– Wear a swim cap! They may seem unstylish but I believe they can be quite chic if done right. It should be noted though, a swim cap will not keep your hair 100% dry, but it does work as an extra layer of protection.

Post-Swim

– Rinsing hair right afterwards is the most underestimated, yet important step in after-swim hair care. It gets rid of a lot of the chlorine or salt before it binds to your hair.

– Co-wash your hair that night or following day to add moisture back. If you’re hair is prone to dryness then do a deep condition treatment.

And that’s it!

How to make a wig (2)

Part 3 Preparing the Hair

1.Choose real or synthetic hair. Both options have advantages and
disadvantages. Generally, for a wig that will be worn every day, you would want to use real hair. For a wig only worn on occasion, you might be able to use synthetic hair.

2.Sort and pull the hair. Run handfuls of hair through a hair heckle to detangle, straighten, and sort the hair. Pull and tie it into sections using hair elastics.

3.Place the hair in between drawing mats. Lay one end of each hair section onto one drawing mat. Place the other drawing mat on top of the hair so that the pointed sides of both mats meet.

Part 4 Creating the Wig

1. Pick out the right ventilating needle. The right size depends on the number of strands you want in a single knot. For more strands, choose a larger needle. For fewer strands, choose a smaller one.
2.Pull the hair through in a loop and knot it onto the lace.You will need to single-knot or double-knot sections of hair made from only a few strands onto the individual gaps in the lace foundation using your ventilating tool.
3.Work from the neck up. You should always start knotting the wig onto the lace from the bottom of the neckline. Work your way up along the back before moving to the sides. After reaching the sides, work your way over the crown of the head.
4.Vary the direction. Once you reach the crown of the wig, you should mentally separate the top into six separate directions and tie the strands off evenly in each of those directions.
5.Cover the ribbons. Turn the wig inside out and stitch hair along the inside edge of the ribbons to prevent them from showing from the front.
6.Sew in steel springs. Use a needle and thread to sew a few short steel springs around the temples, neck, and forehead of the wig. This will help the hair lift in a natural, pleasant manner.
7.Make the part and style the wig. With all the hair sewn in place, part the wig as you would do with a normal head of hair and cut the hair into your desired style.
8.Make the final fit. Try the wig on. It should now be complete, but if anything looks off, you should still be able to adjust it.

How to make a wig (1)
Making a wig for everyday use can be a difficult, time-consuming task, so it usually gets left up to the professionals. If you're interested in trying to make a wig yourself, however, you can do so as long as you have the right tools and plenty of patience. Here's how to do it.
Part 1 Measuring the Wearer's Head

1)Measure around the head at the hairline.

Use a cloth tape measure to measure along the hairline. The tape measure should extend from the base of your hairline at your neck to the top of your hairline at the forehead.
   The tape measure should wrap just above the ears on either side of your head.
   Do not pull the tape measure. It should lie flat against flattened hair, but it should not be taut.

2)Measure down the center top of your head.

Place the end of a cloth tape measure at the center of your forehead, matching the end of the tape measure to the beginning of your natural hairline. Drape the tape measure over the crown of your head and down to the middle of the nape, where you natural hairline ends.
As before, do not pull the tape measure. It should lie flat against flattened hair without being taut.

3)Measure from one ear to the other. Bring the end of the cloth tape measure to the uppermost point at which your ear connects to the rest of your head. Drape the tape measure over the crown of your head and back down to the same position of the opposite ear.
   The tape measure should rest on both ears along the point at which eyeglasses or sunglasses would sit.
   Once again, the tape measure should lie flat against flattened hair but should not be pulled tight.
   
Part 2 Forming the Wig Foundation

1) Transfer your measurements to a wig block.

Draw a rough sketch of the perimeter of your head based on the measurements you took. Use your cloth tape measure to measure out the same distances for the perimeter of your head, the crown of your head, and the distance between your ears.
Alternatively, you could find a cotton lace cap or other fine net cap that will fit your head and place that over the wig block. It will not be a custom fit, but doing this can be easier than trying to form and apply strips of cotton lace.

2)Nail cotton ribbons to the block. Line cotton ribbon along the perimeter of your wig outline, as drawn previously. Gently hammer this ribbon onto the wig block using small nails.
   If you decide to use a Styrofoam head instead of a wooden wig block, you can use sewing pins instead of nails to attach the ribbons.
Make sure that the ribbons are as flat as possible on the wig block.

3)Apply wet cotton lace. Moisten strips of cotton lace by quickly spritzing them with water from a spray bottle. Drape the strips of cotton lace over the wig block and stitch them to the ribbon.
   Note that the strips of cotton lace must be at least as long as the measurement you took for the crown of your head. They can, however, be a little longer at this point. Use as few strips as possible, opting for larger pieces rather than many smaller ones.
    Pin the lace in place before sewing it onto the ribbon.
    You can find cotton lace in a variety of colors, but avoid lace with patterns already embroidered into it.
Wetting the lace beforehand makes it easier to form and shape.

4)Try the foundation on. Remove the nails from the ribbon and take the wig foundation off the wig block. Try it on to determine if it fits correctly.
If the wig foundation does not fit correctly, determine why not. Return the foundation to the wig block and make any adjustments you need to make in order to fix the fit.
When everything fits the right way, trim off any excess cotton lace that hangs past the ribbon border of the wig foundation
