The Magic of Ocean-Kissed Hair
There's something magical about emerging from the ocean - whether you're a surfer riding the perfect wave, a swimmer enjoying the cool embrace of the sea, or a beachcomber collecting treasures along the shore. That salt-kissed hair texture is coveted worldwide, but maintaining healthy locks while living the coastal lifestyle requires some insider knowledge.
