How To Protect Hair From Sun

How To Protect Hair From Sun

It's important to remember that overexposure to UV rays can damage your hair just as much as it can damage your skin. Are you taking the necessary steps to protect your hair from the sun's harmful effects?

Many of us are aware of the importance of using sunscreen to protect our skin from the sun, but we often forget that our hair is also vulnerable to damage from UV rays. Sun damage can lead to dryness, split ends, and even hair loss. Fortunately, there are several simple steps you can take to shield your hair from the sun. You may not realize it, but the sun's UV rays can penetrate your hair shaft and damage the proteins that give it strength and elasticity. This can lead to permanent damage if not properly addressed.

8 simple steps to protect your hair from sun damage;

  1. Wear a Hat or Scarf

One of the best ways to protect your hair from the sun is to wear a hat or scarf. Not only will it shield your hair from the sun, but it will also protect your scalp from getting sunburned. Choose a hat or scarf made of a breathable material like cotton or linen to keep your head cool.

  1. Apply a Conditioner with natural ingredients

Applying a conditioner to your hair before heading out in the sun can help protect it from damage. Look for a conditioner with ingredients like onion oil, jojoba,coconut oil, shea butter, and argan oil, which can help nourish and moisturize your hair. Try Ningen Onion hair conditioner or Ningen Lotus Hair conditioner for effective results. 

  1. Use a UV Protectant Spray

Just like you use sunscreen to protect your skin from the sun, you can also use a UV protectant spray to protect your hair. This type of spray helps to shield your hair from harmful UV rays, and it can also help prevent color fading. Apply the spray to your hair before heading out in the sun and reapply as needed throughout the day.

  1. Treat your hair

Protecting hair from the sun can be done naturally with a homemade hair mask. One popular recipe includes mixing 1 egg white, 3 tbsp of natural yogurt, and 3 tbsp of honey. Apply the mixture to your hair for 30 minutes before rinsing thoroughly. Eggs are a great source of protein, which can help nourish your hair. Apply Ningen Hibiscus Hair Pack and Ningen Chamomile Hair Serum.

  1. Avoid brushing

After spending time in the sun and sea breeze, many people are tempted to brush their hair when they return home. However, it is recommended to use a wide-tooth comb instead to avoid hair breakage. Take your time and use your fingers to gently separate knots as needed. By doing this, you can minimize damage to your hair.

  1. Include antioxidants in your diet 

Antioxidants are molecules that neutralize free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can damage cells in your body, including the cells in your hair. When your hair is exposed to UV radiation from the sun, free radicals can be generated, causing damage to your hair's proteins, lipids, and pigments. Antioxidants, such as vitamin E and vitamin C, can help protect your hair against this damage by neutralizing the free radicals before they can cause harm. Additionally, some antioxidants can help repair any damage that has already occurred, promoting healthier, stronger hair.

  1. Avoid Heat Styling

The sun can already cause enough damage to your hair, so it's best to avoid using heat styling tools during the summer months. Instead, opt for heatless hairstyles like braids, buns, or beachy waves. If you must use heat styling tools, be sure to use a heat protectant spray on your hair first.

  1. Rinse Your Hair After Swimming

If you're planning on taking a dip in the pool or ocean, be sure to rinse your hair afterward. Chlorine and saltwater can both be damaging to your hair, so rinsing it with fresh water can help remove any harmful chemicals. You can also apply a deep conditioning treatment to your hair once a week to help repair any damage.

By following these tips, you can help protect your hair from the damaging effects of the sun this summer. Remember to wear a hat, apply a conditioner, use a UV protectant spray, avoid heat styling, and rinse your hair after swimming. With a little extra care, you can keep your hair looking healthy and beautiful all season long.
