How to protect your hair from sun, advice and productsExposure to sunlight may have an impact on your whole body. It is always recommended to go out with sunscreen, stay out of the sun at certain times, apply creams on the skin after sun … but do not forget to protect the health of your hair and protect it so it looks healthy and beautiful. The hair in the summer, is especially damaged, because exposure to sunlight is more intense, if we add any trips to the pool with chlorine, sand, salt hair … we have a disaster. And that’s because the keratin protein essential hair and nails are affected, causing the hair fiber looks broken and degraded.

Like everything else, the negative effects can be prevented, and if they are already present, there are now many products on the market to improve and heal, because we can then use specific products for repair. We recommend that you do not forget:

In the summer the sun is much stronger, it is good to cover your hair with a turban, a scarf or a hat, especially if you wear your hair dyed and so avoid losing brightness, and color drying deteriorate. Protect him not only in the pool or the beach, shopping places also open hair is exposed to sun damage, pollution, etc …
Do not forget to apply sunscreen specific for hair, and do not forget your skin. The protective sprays or gels are usually applied to dry hair. These contain sunscreens that prevent sunlight from penetrating the hair fiber. Its formula is often resistant to water, although it is recommended to reapply throughout our sun exposure. After ban art on the beach or pool, rinse your hair with cold water to remove salt or chlorine.
Use a shampoo for hair with a higher content of nutrients.
Avoid abusing or dryer sheets as they dry out more hair.
Apply once or twice a week a hair mask to hydrate and nourish. The hair masks based on vegetable oils are able to repair and preserve the hair fiber from the aggressions of the sun, thanks to its high amount of fatty acids (oleic, linoleic, etc).
The serum smooths the scales of the hair shaft and add shine and softness. Some of them cover the hair with a protective layer against the sun’s rays.
The after-sun shampoo drag off any particle of salt, chlorine or sand that may remain attached to the hair, if you have been to the beach to return all of your natural glow.

If you care for your hair, like the rest of your body, you will not need an emergency run to the salon. In this way we also avoid irreversible damage or requiring long and expensive treatments or cut. Prevention is always the best cure.
