HOW TO PROTECT YOUR HAIR FROM THE SUN

Here are some of my effective tips that you can use to protect the hair from harmful sun rays

Use physical barriers

 It’s one of the best and simplest to prevent hair damage by the UV rays. Wearing hats or scarfs can prevent direct contact of the sun rays on your hair lowering the potential negative effects. To effectively curb any risk of the sun on hair, I suggest you wear hats or scarfs with a UPF number when getting exposed to the sun.

Include hair products with SPF

Using conditioners or hair moisturizers with SPF and other sun protection ingredients such as hair masks can prevent penetration of the harmful UV rays on the head.

Use the right conditioners or moisturizers

Hair conditioners and moisturizers can be used to counter the effects of the sun on your hair. I recommend leave-in conditioners for a full protection.

Limit your exposure to the sun

Avoiding the sun especially between 11 am. To 3pm can lower the risk of getting your hair or skin being sun damaged by the harsh UV rays.
