Summer Hair Hacks Every Parent Should Know
Hi KidSnips Family,
Summer’s here — and so are all the fun outdoor adventures like swimming, biking, and camp! But with that comes a few hair care challenges. That’s why we’ve rounded up our favorite summer hair care tips for kids to keep your child’s hair healthy, tangle-free, and happy all season long.
1) Keep a swimmer’s kit in your pool bag
If your kiddo is spending time in the pool (and let’s be real, who isn’t?), chlorine can quickly dry out their hair and leave it feeling rough. That’s where the Malibu C Swimmers Wellness Kit comes in. It gently removes chlorine, copper, and other pool chemicals while restoring shine and softness. Toss it in your pool bag for quick after-swim care that keeps hair feeling fresh all summer long. Pick one up at your next KidSnips visit!
2) Wet hair before swimming
Here’s a trick that takes less than a minute: rinse your child’s hair with clean tap water before they jump in the pool or lake. This simple step fills the hair shaft with clean water first, so it’s less likely to soak up damaging chlorine, salt, or lake gunk. It’s a small move that makes a big difference in protecting their strands.
3) Style it up with braids
Loose hair at summer camp or daycare is more likely to get tangled and it’s also an open invitation for lice to move in. A tight braid or two not only keeps hair tidy and out of their eyes while they play, it also makes it harder for lice to spread. Add a spritz of our in-store lice prevention spray for extra peace of mind.
4) Don’t skip the summer trim
It’s easy to put off haircuts during a busy summer schedule, but even a light trim can prevent split ends, help hair grow healthier, and keep things looking neat, especially after all that sun and swim. Plus, it’s a great excuse to grab some new products or accessories from our shop while you’re in!
