Sun Protection for Hair

Most of us know that protecting the skin from the damage that the sun’s ultra violet rays can cause is crucial, not only for cosmetic reasons and to prevent sun burn but also to prevent problems such as skin cancer etc. But not as many of us know that the hair can also get ‘sun burned’.

The sun can dry and fade your hair, and even cause split ends and you should take special care of your hair when you are about to expose it to extended periods of sunlight. This is true for your next beach holiday and also your next skiing holiday, because even when the sun does not feel that hot, the UV rays are still causing damage to your tresses.

So how do you protect your hair from sun damage? The best option is a hat that covers all of your hair. This is however not always possible the next best option is sunscreen for the hair. Many hair products such as gel, mousse, spray etc have UV protection built into them which are also a convenient option. So next time you want to enjoy the sun, be smart about your hair.
