Why Protect Your Hair from the Sun in Summer?
We all know that the sun can damage our skin, but did you know it can also harm your hair? While the sun affects the skin and hair differently, the effects can be just as harmful.
Discover in this article how sun exposure affects your hair and how to protect it.
What Is the Impact of the Sun on Your Hair?
The sun can have damaging effects on your hair. It can alter the hair's structure, weaken the hair fiber, and contribute to dry, brittle, and dull ends.
Your scalp is not immune either. Prolonged sun exposure can cause sunburn and dehydration, affecting both scalp health and healthy hair growth.
UV rays also affect your hair colour, whether it is natural or colour-treated.
During the summer, you have probably noticed that your hair becomes lighter. This happens because UV rays oxidise melanin, the hair's natural pigment, leading to colour loss.
Artificial pigments are even more sensitive to UV exposure, which can cause colour fading and the appearance of unwanted tones.
A few figures to better understand the impact of the sun on hair health:
• 70%: The proportion of hair cuticles showing visible signs of damage after five days of sun exposure.
• 30–50%: The increase in split-end formation after two weeks of unprotected sun exposure.
• Up to 40%: The proportion of the hair's natural lipids that can be degraded after prolonged UV exposure, leading to dryness and frizz.
Protecting your hair from the sun is therefore essential to keeping it healthy.
How Can You Protect Your Hair from UV Rays?
As you now know, the hair fibre is sensitive to sun exposure. It is therefore essential to protect it with suitable haircare products. Cair Protective Hair Oil offers numerous benefits for your hair:
