How To Protect Your Hair From Sun Damage

Hi,

A bad thing that comes with summer is the damage the sun does to your hair. We're always taking care of our skin, by using suncream,... but not many people are aware of the fact it's also bad to expose your hair to the sun too long. A lot of people love the fact that their hair gets blonder from the sun, but it also kind of dries out...

But okay, now we've made you aware of this, you probably wonder what you should do to protect your hair.
Well first of all it can help lot to wear a hat. We made a post about hats we like already and also one about wich hairstyles to wear with a hat. This will also prevent your hair from getting blonder.
There are also a lot of hair products you can use. Every brand of hair products probably sells something like this so we won't make a list. The only thing you must think of when you go buy a product to protect your hair against the sun is that Octyl Methyoxycinnamate must be listed in the contents. This is a sunscreen ingredient, so this is what makes the product work. Anything else you find with this ingredient in is good too, for excample conditioner.
Also use conditioner weekly. The sun breaks down the hair's protein and conditioner helps to build it up again.

So we hope this will help you maintain healthy hair this summer!
