Salt from the ocean adheres to hair, roughs up strands, and causes them to stick together.

Solution: Pack a leave-in conditioner spray, like the Nexxus Humectress Moisturizing Leave-In Spray, in your beach bag. Spritz it on liberally, and then gently comb through your hair.

Wearing your hair up day after day, in the same ponytail, can cause serious breakage.

Solution: Go ahead, rock your ponytail. Just switch up your elastic to one that’s less likely to cause breakage, like a flat elastic instead of a skinny elastic band.

Problem: You’re washing a little too aggressively.

“A Lot of people get in trouble when they wash their hair every day because they aren't being as gentle as they need to be,” Minar says. “When your hair is wet, it’s at its weakest state and the most susceptible to breakage.”

Solution: Be gentle and moisturize. In the shower, use a shampoo spiked with hydrating oils and proteins to strengthen hair like the Nexxus Oil Infinite system.
