Surfer Girls especially those who teach surfing lessons every day in Hawaii, have special challenges when it comes to having nice hair. While the sun does it’s job and bleaches it blond it also dries it out beyond belief! On top of that the salt water and pull from the waves create added stress that would cause a super model to throw a cell phone at anyone. So what’s a surfer girl to do? After 20 plus years of surfing and teaching surfing and always looking like I had just stepped out of the ocean I decided to consult an expert – Emilia Perry. She’s a true North Shore Surfer Girl, Pipe charger on both a surfboard and bodyboard, a model and hair dresser at Salon Atlantis in the Haleiwa Market place – this is what she suggested.

1. Put coconut oil in your just before getting in to the surf -this is actually an ancient Hawaiian custom.

2. Wash with super good conditioner – I use a product made my Goldwell, it’s expensive but worth it.

3. Braid your hair before going in to the water.

4. See a professional at least once every 3 months for a trim,

North Shore Sunrise Shells in the Surf

Glistening in the sun covering the shores, sunrise shells are becoming more available and rare at the same time. Sunrise shell jewelry is a must for any real surfer girl. The colors are so vibrant and show off a tan perfectly. But what’s the story behind these supposedly rare and valued shells. Sunrise shells are in the scallop family (Langford’s Scallop). They were very sacred to the ancient Hawaiians. The story goes: “Servants of the kings would walk the beaches and look for Sunrise Shells, but only the Royal Family could wear these magnificent shells. Some say they received the name “sunrise” because early in the morning (at sunrise) the Sunrise shell would be the easiest shells to spot on the beach. The sun would reflect its rays of the vibrant colors of these beautiful scallop shells. Others says they received their name of Sunrise shells because if you did not get to the beach before or at sunrise, then someone else would have already found them.

It is said that only “blessed” people find these rare Hawaiian shells. They also make an excellent gift to that special surfer girl in your life. Ask us about them after your surfing lesson.
