Founder Friday: Happy 4th July!
Fourth of July weekend, for me, means more time outside doing some of my favorite things with some of my favorite people- backyard barbecues, pool days, and family gatherings that somehow turn into line dances by the end of the night.
And listen, I do not play about my line dances. 😂

Between the direct sun and the cotton-lined baseball caps I usually wore, my hair was taking just as much of a beating from the sun as it did from the rain. By the end of the day, it was sweaty, matted, and completely dried out.
And it was not just affecting my hair. That was also the year I started noticing sun spots on my face.
You can read more about that part in last week’s Founder Friday.
I wanted satin-lined, UPF-protective hats that would help protect both our hair and our faces, with thoughtful details like built-in sweatbands and ventilated satin lining to make long summer days far more comfortable.
That need helped inspire some of our best summer essentials.
And now, these are the pieces I swear by all summer long. They stay in my bag, by the pool, or within reach anytime I know I’ll be outside for more than a few minutes.
Tracey’s Fourth of July Family Fun Survival Kit
1. The all-day essential: The Sun Hat
This is always my number-one recommendation for a long day outside.
It has:
✔ UPF 50+ sun protection
✔ Ventilated satin lining to protect your hair without trapping all the heat
✔ A built-in sweatband
✔ A wide brim that helps keep the sun off your face
✔ Water resistance for unexpected splashes or summer weather



It was to create products that protect your hair through the full day—the sun, heat, sweat, smoke, splashes, pool water, dancing, and everything in between.
Because summer fun should not end with dry hair, frizzy edges, and a recovery plan.
So this Fourth of July weekend, build the Hairbrella summer kit that fits your plans.
