With summer just around the corner, we’re all excited for warm weather, spending more time outside, going to the beach, and hanging out in our friends’ pools. However, this increased exposure to sunrays, chlorine, and salt water can take a toll on our hair’s health for the worst. Under these kinds of conditions, everyone’s hair, no matter the type, becomes more difficult to manage.

After researching the best summertime hair products (and yes, I’m completely aware that that sounds ridiculous), I put together a list of inexpensive products.

All of the following can be purchased at stores such as CVS, Target, Ulta, Walgreens, and Walmart for ten dollars or less!
