Sun Protection for Hair: Why It's Important and How to Do It

We talk a lot about sun protection for the skin, but we rarely focus on the need for it protect your hair. Yet, hair exposed to UV rays, salt and chlorine suffers damage comparable to those of the skin, with the difference that hair does not have a natural ability to self-protection. It is therefore essential not to neglect hair care during the summer to avoid of finding yourself in autumn with dull and brittle hair.

Hair and Sun: A Difficult Combination

Ultraviolet rays damage keratin, weakening the hair shaft. The salt deposits on the natural coating of the hair, compromising its integrity and causing dehydration.

Without due attention, summer exposure to the sun takes its toll in autumn, with dry hair, lacking shine and greater hair loss than normal.

Before leaving: Prepare your hair

To effectively protect your hair during your holidays, you need to start caring for it 3-4 weeks before departure. That's how:

• Professional treatments: Go to your trusted salon for specific treatments that can prepare your hair for exposure. For example, vegetable oil compresses to provide hydration; or targeted reconstructions to guarantee strength to your hair. 

  
  

• Avoid aggressive treatments: Leave aside excessively aggressive chemical treatments in view of prolonged exposure to the sun.

  
  

• Use specific products: Start using shampoo, conditioner and protective sprays to create a stable protective film on the hair.

  
  

• During the holiday: Reduce the use of the hairdryer and protect your hair with accessories such as hats and scarves, ideal for the summer season. Avoid high ponytails that expose the tips more to the sun.

What to Put in Your Suitcase

It is important to bring sun products and tailor-made treatments with you to protect your hair.

Vegetable oils, for example, are excellent for preventing dehydration, making hair smooth and shiny, and protecting it from the harmful effects of UV and water.
