Sun-damaged hair is something we all might have experienced at some point. Excessive time spent in the sun can leave your hair feeling dry, brittle, frizzy, and even cause it to change color. If not taken care of, this damage can add up and lead to split ends and breakage. Keep your locks looking healthy and happy with these few steps:
- Use a deep conditioning treatment or hair conditioning oil:
Sun damage can make hair dry, brittle and dull. Using a deep conditioning treatment or conditioning oil once a week can help restore moisture to the hair and improve its appearance.
We suggest Pure Body Luxe RESTORE Hair Conditioning Oil formulated with Rosemary, Tangerine, Argan and Castor Oil to deeply condition, nourish and repair the scalp and hair follicles, and promote growth while protecting against the harsh effects of dryness, heat and colourants. - Avoid heat styling tools and exposure to the sun:
The heat from styling tools can further damage sun-exposed hair. Try to limit your use of these tools and, if possible, avoid direct sunlight. If you must go out in the sun, wear a hat or use an umbrella for protection. - Use a hair product with SPF:
Look for hair products that contain SPF to protect your hair from further sun damage. You can also use leave-in conditioners with SPF before going out in the sun. - Trim split ends regularly:
Split ends can make your hair look frizzy and damaged. Regular trims will help keep split ends at bay and keep your hair looking healthy. - Drink plenty of water to hydrate hair from within:
Staying hydrated is important for the health of your hair. Drink plenty of water to help keep your hair moisturized from the inside out. - Use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo:
Sulfates can strip hair of its natural oils, making it even more vulnerable to sun damage. Using a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo can help keep your hair hydrated and healthy.
