Prepare your hair for summer and protect it against environmental damage and UV radiation

Hair, like skin, is vulnerable to the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays, which can cause significant damage. To avoid this, it is best to use products that deeply nourish the hair and have protective agents against environmental damage and the sun in order to punish your hair as little as possible.

It is important to protect your hair from the sun for many reasons. You've probably heard that the sun can lighten hair. In fact, UV rays break down the melanin in hair, causing it to discolor. On the other hand, UV rays weaken the hair's structural proteins, making it more susceptible to breakage and split ends. Additionally, sun exposure dehydrates hair, leaving it dry and brittle.

You should also keep in mind that some hair types are more susceptible to sun damage than others. For example, dyed hair fades more quickly due to the effect of UV rays on artificial pigments. Fine hair, which has fewer protective layers, is also more vulnerable.

To protect your hair from environmental damage and UV rays, it is essential to use products, such as shampoos and conditioners, that contain antioxidant, moisturizing ingredients, UV filters and/or sun protection. Keeping your hair hydrated can keep your hair soft and shiny and prevent sun damage.

To further protect your hair you can use accessories, such as a hat or scarf. They provide a physical barrier that prevents UV rays from reaching the hair. In addition, they are fashion accessories that will complement your summer outfit.

There are also sun creams that protect the skin of your scalp. These are specific products to protect hair from UV rays. They are usually products enriched with antioxidants and UV filters to protect the hair and prevent its discoloration and dehydration.
