How To Understand Sun Protection For Hair

Hi, there. I'm Abi Cleeve from Ultrasun. I've been in the sun care industry for thirteen years, really helping people to make the right decisions on their sun care choices.

Today, I'm going to try and do the same for you. It can be really hard to understand sun protection for our hair. Our hair often suffers in the sunshine.

We often think of our skin, but forget our hair. If you have colored hair or heat-treated hair, you know it's more vulnerable in the sunshine. Maybe dipping in and out of salt water or chlorine water is also going to really make your hair struggle to look its beautiful best.

There isn't a true UV protection I can offer you for your hair. Unfortunately, any product will wash out very, very quickly, and we can't determine for how long that product would last in your hair. However, the best thing you can do to protect your hair whilst on holiday or in the sunshine is to wear a hat.

That's going to absolutely protect it and make sure it looks gorgeous when you go out in the evening. Another idea that I've used many times and recommended to friends, is to take a really good hair masque, rub that right through your hair really generously, and then wrap your hair up in a scarf. Use that as protection during the day, and then when you reveal your golden locks later, they will be looking gorgeous.

You do need to think about the scalp area, so by using a hat or a scarf, you're going to really help your skin. But when it comes to hair, make sure that you protect it by preventing the contact with the sun in the first place. That is your absolute best defense.

Remember, when you're in the sunshine, your skin is your most vulnerable area. But when you do want to protect your hair, the best way is by using a hat or maybe even taking a product, a masque, using that and wrapping it around in a scarf, to make sure you're not only protecting your hair, but treating it beautifully as well. And that's how to understand sun protection for the hair. .
