The heat has been draining everything out of me....I swear every summer I drink so so much water...Seems as though I just stay thirsty...Oh and between the heat and working out ...I stay in the shower bathing and co washing....Even when co washing I can't resist deep conditioning 2 or 3 times a week...I go through this every summer...But for some reason I stay thinner in the summer and I get so much extra growth during this time also....Its because of all the water that I consume because of the summer heat...
So I thought I would share a few (theres way more) beauty benefits of drinking plenty of water ...
Water for the hair...
Water makes up approximately one fourth of the weight of a strand of hair ...Drinking enough water will give you soft, naturally shiny hair...Becoming dehydrated or not consuming enough water will cause dull, dry and brittle hair that will result in breakage..
Hard Water
Washing with hard water can be bad for your hair...The Chlorine, minerals and fluoride in the water causes dry hair , breakage and spit ends...
If you have hard water you can buy shampoos designed to counteract the hard water...Example Ion Hard Water Shampoo sold at Sally is a good one..Redken Cleansing Creme (Chelating Shampoo) is a good one too ..Also you can purchase water filters for your shower that start at about $ 30 and up
Water for the body
Drinking plenty of water keeps bloating away, increases energy , keeps your eyes bright and white, and keeps your skin clear..
Drinking water flushes out gross toxins, improves circulation and blood flow..Carries nutrients to your cells and keeps your joints lubricated..
You need to drink water to carrying waste and toxin materials out of your body....Not drinking enough water can cause toxins to build up and cause skin break outs...Drinking plenty of water keeps the skins moisture level even and pores clean...
Kidneys cannot function properly without enough water. When they do not work to capacity, toxins and waste is dumped into your liver.
Water suppresses the appetite naturally and helps the body metabolize stored fat...
How Do I know If I'm drinking enough water ???
Normally you can tell by the color of your urine...Your urine should be clearer in color...Pale yellow or darker means you need more water...
8 to 10 glasses of water a day usually does the trick...

hi traycee! it's true that water is essential for our health. But i think when you drink a lot of water, you'll have to slow down salt consumption because salt favours water retention in hips and legs! and prevents water to eliminates toxins out of body.
I agree with the whole water thing - I get plenty in the summer because I am so thirsty...
