Summer Hair SOS: How to Repair Sun, Salt, and Chlorine Damage Naturally

Sunshine, beach days, and pool dips are the best part of summer—but they can wreak havoc on your hair. UV rays, saltwater, and chlorine strip strands of moisture, weaken the cuticle, and fade color fast. If your curls are feeling dry, brittle, or undefined, this is your natural recovery plan—no silicones, no sulfates, just real plant-powered repair.


What Summer Does to Your Hair

Your hair is just as vulnerable to the elements as your skin. Here’s how summer takes a toll:

  • UV rays break down keratin, leading to weak, dull strands

  • Saltwater pulls out moisture, leaving curls dehydrated and frizzy

  • Chlorine strips natural oils and can cause breakage, especially on color-treated or textured hair

  • Sweat and product buildup clog the scalp and disrupt hair growth


The Natural Recovery Routine (OrganiGrow-Approved)

1. Clarify Without Stripping

Start with a gentle, plant-based clarifying shampoo like our GrowPoo Clarifying Shampoo. It removes salt, chlorine, and product buildup without drying your strands.

  • Detoxes scalp

  • Balances pH

  • Preps your curls for moisture


2. Deep Condition Weekly

Moisture loss is the number one summer issue. Use The Condish Protein-Free Conditioner to rehydrate and restore elasticity—especially important after sun exposure.

  • No protein overload

  • Slips through knots

  • Restores softness and shine


3. Pre-Poo Before the Pool

Apply Redo Pre-Poo Oil before swimming. The botanical oils create a protective barrier that prevents chlorine and salt from penetrating the hair shaft.

  • Prevents moisture loss

  • Scalp-safe for all ages

  • Strengthens from the root


4. Hydrate Daily with Moisture Milk

Our Mega Mangrow Moisture Milk keeps curls bouncy and hydrated without buildup. Use it on dry or damp hair to refresh and protect your strands.

  • Lightweight hydration

  • Mango, avocado, and cupuaçu butters

  • Anti-frizz and heat protectant bonus


5. Seal It In with Custard or Pomade

Lock in moisture and define curls with our Custard Gel or Waves n Braids Pomade. Both are packed with non-toxic oils that also help shield your hair from UV rays.


Bonus Tip: Hydrate From Within

Sun damage starts on the inside too. Increase your water intake and nourish your follicles with our Grow + Glow Vegan Hair Vitamins, rich in biotin, silica, and essential minerals to support stronger, longer, healthier hair.
