We all know that we need to use sunscreen to protect our bodies against sunburn, and it’s normal to dream about getting a glowing tan while basking in the sunshine, but it can be easy to forget that UV rays can cause serious damage to our hair.
With the problems ranging from dryness to breakage, we’ve put together some tips to help protect you against UV rays but still ensure your hair routine has that professional touch.
If you know you’re going to spend most of your time outdoors in the golden sun then you’ll need to reconsider your heat styling. A layer of heat followed by the UV rays you’ll be exposed to will cause your hair to go dry and brittle. If you want to keep your hair sleek and stylish, and avoid twice as much heat damage, use electrical products with variable temperature options and turn the heat down.
Proxelli supplies powerful hairdryers and straighteners featuring settings that you can adjust to suit your hair type and lifestyle. Used alongside a heat protection spray, Proxelli stylers are professionally designed to help you create salon quality looks at the same time as locking in the moisture that protects your hair against the sun.
Any time that you spend in the sun will leave your hair craving moisture afterwards. One of the best ways you can be prepared, and save it from drying out, is by adding a hair mask into your routine. It protects and nourish the hair against external damage such as heat and UV rays, which is why the Olaplex No.8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask is a must-have.
Infused with Olaplex’s patented bond building technology, its highly concentrated formula actually repairs and protects your hair against the damaging effects of heat without weighing it down. Adding up to four times more moisture, twice as much shine, and six times more smoothness to all hair types, it’s guaranteed to get you ready to fight the sweltering heat.
A healthy scalp equals healthy hair, and extreme heat can dry out and even sunburn the skin if you’re not careful. To combat this, you need to treat your scalp gently and shampoo it on a regular basis. For extra relief from the sun, Lomé Paris supplies a variety of scalp shampoos which restore moisture and clarity in the skin while also strengthening your hair.
You do need to bear in mind that your scalp will sunburn in the same way as every other part of the body. So, if you’re going to be out in the sun for long periods, you might want to consider either working a spray SPF onto your scalp and embrace the boho look or take a wide-brimmed hat with you.
Argan oils are an amazing way to keep your hair protected against the sweltering heat throughout the day. Perfect on wet and dry hair, just a few drops is enough to lock moisture into your strands while adding a lasting softness and shine. Our top choice has to be the Redken All Soft Argan Oil, which you can actually use in six amazing ways to treat and prevent dry and brittle hair.
