In reasonable doses, the sun is excellent for all hair types . Makes hair grow faster and stronger. In addition, it helps calcium fix through vitamin D and activates the circulation of the scalp. Conversely, overexposure has harmful effects on hair: they change color and texture. In the first case, unlike the skin, ultraviolet rays destroy the pigments, the melanin in the hair, leaving it much lighter, more matte and dull.

In terms of texture, UV rays also damage keratin, hair loses moisture more quickly and becomes more brittle, coarse and brittle. Therefore, like skin, hair needs good UV protection and deserves all our care, especially when we subject it to strong sun exposures.

To maintain shiny hair in summer, just follow some basic tips:

    • Protect your hair from UV rays by applying anti-UV hair protectors before leaving the house .
    • Ideally, avoid the most intense sun exposures , which occur between 12:00 and 16:00. In any case, hats, caps or foulards provide us with the best protection.
  • To prevent color fading, whether natural or tinted, a good protector with built-in UV filter will be key to maintaining good tone. These shampoos, conditioners, and masks contain protein and vitamins that bring bright colors back to hair. If you have it tinted, it is convenient to lower the color tone a little since everything that summer entails (swimming pools, sea, sun) will make it clear by itself.
  • For dryness, apply a special shampoo to nourish the hair . Apply an aftersun moisturizing balm to restructure your hair and restore smoothness. Conditioners act as a protection barrier for hair , you can choose natural oils such as olive, coconut, jojoba, sunflower or safflower. The repair masks become essentials of the summer, apply them once a week.
  •  Apply tip repair treatments , as the tips of the hair are slightly affected after sun exposure. After long sun exposures it is a good idea to cut the ends of the hair to clean it and give it more body.
  • Reduce the use of the dryer , always keep it at a certain distance from the hair, use cold air.
  • Eat foods that contain lots of vitamin C and E as well as beta-carotenes . Fruits and vegetables such as avocado, berries, broccoli, grape, and spinach are particularly rich in antioxidants and are excellent natural protection.
