Did you know that sunscreen isn’t only needed for your skin, but your hair too. Applying UV protection is the #1 most underrated hair care practice but is crucial to prevent:
The effects of UV rays on hair can cause the hair’s natural proteins and pigment to deteriorate. While some people notice their hair color lightening up in the sun and may welcome that (or even enhance it with products like Sun-In) this lightening is a sign of the hair strand degrading. The result? Weaker hair and dull looking hair color.
The sun can also take moisture away from your hair, leaving it drier, frizzier and rougher in texture.
If you have thinning hair, you are even more susceptible to getting sunburned on your scalp. Sunburn on the scalp can create scarred tissue and any inflammation or damage to your scalp can potentially cause even more thinning.
The sun is great for nourishing us with Vitamin D, an essential vitamin for healthy hair growth, hence why you notice your hair grows faster in the summer;
AND, there are ways to mitigate the damage being done, like using sun protective products in your wash day routine to PREP before applying styling products.

If you’re not into reapplying products because you fear it will weigh your hair down, try wearing hats and or headbands/bandanas with UPF protection! *What’s that?*
UPF clothing absorbs or blocks harmful UV radiation and remains one of the most effective forms of protection against sun damage and skin cancer.
With all this product protection, make sure that you’re also cleansing your hair accordingly using the right shampoos for you and your hair needs. LEARN MORE in this post: (SHAMPOO)
