The Hidden Damage: How the Sun Affects Your Hair & Scalp
Share
We all know the importance of sunscreen for our skin, but did you know that your hair and scalp are just as vulnerable to sun damage? Prolonged exposure to UV rays can lead to dryness, breakage, color fading, and even scalp burns. In this blog, we break down how the sun affects your hair and what you can do to protect it.
Key Points:
• UV Rays & Hair Protein Breakdown: The sun weakens keratin, the protein that keeps hair strong and elastic.
• Scalp Sunburns & Long-Term Effects: Just like your skin, your scalp can burn, leading to irritation, flakiness, and potential hair thinning over time.
• Color Fading & Hair Discoloration: Sun exposure accelerates oxidation, causing natural and dyed hair to fade and lose vibrancy.
• Moisture Loss & Brittleness: UV rays dehydrate hair, making it more prone to split ends and breakage.
Solution:
Protecting your hair from the sun is as easy as adding SPF-infused hair products, wearing a hat, and keeping hair hydrated with nourishing ingredients.
