1. If you are team natural get braids or use coconut hair oil and Argan oil products. Braids prevent you from washing your hair so much and if your a pool person it prevents damage to your hair. If you wash your hair everyday like me I suggest braids, and dry shampoo, a leave-in conditioner and place hot oil between your scalp before sitting under a dryer for 15 minutes. You definitely don't want your braids to burn. Also if you want to keep your natural hair out. Wash every two weeks and do the same process only sit under the dryer for 30 minutes.
2. Eat plenty of fruit and water! I see a lot of girls posting stuff on Facebook and Instagram about weight loss. Your first mistake was not trying to lose weight from the winter and not eating right! The best fruit to eat in the summer is the yellows and reds such as strawberries and pineapples those fruits produce a lot of energy and retains a lot of water to keep your body hydrated, and when your body is hydrated it prevents you from getting sick and it helps a longer work out.
3. Detox. I always recommend a detox especially a healthy one that can help you remove all the toxins that is sitting in your system my favorite detox is vitamins like flaxseed oil pills and green tea with honey. It not only cleanses the system but clears up your skin too.
4. Sun block or sun protecting lotion! I don't how many times I have to stress this. But don't think because your african american or latino that you don't have to use it. I use both sun protection and sun tanning lotion, in Jamaica am considered red bone ( am brown enough to get a tan, and in the winter I can get a pale look ) so from I was little my mom always made sure I had sun block. When you use these products it keeps you young looking through the years and no sniveling up like a raisin in old age.
5. Workout! I don't know how much I have to stress this but working out is good for the heart, body, and soul! Now take these 5 steps and enjoy a healthy, happy, and amazing summer you beach bum!
