It took forever, but summer is finally here. We're totally relishing in the best season (and don't argue with me on that), enjoying days on the beach or beside the pool, taking in the blessings that warm weather and sunshine are raining down on us. Though beach chillin', outdoor picnics, and poolside frolicking are amazing, the UV rays, salt water, and humidity that often comes with all that can truly take a toll on your hair. Yeah, it sucks. Luckily, though, there are plenty of products out there that fight frizz, moisturize, provide UV protection, enhance color vibrancy, and keep your crown in tip-top shape. That way, you can enjoy the summer season without sacrificing healthy hair. Make room in your shelfie, folks: We’ve rounded up a selection of favorite new hair products, out just in time for the warm weather season.
