In summer, it's important to protect your skin from the sun, but it's just as important to protect your hair. The sun can damage the pigment in your hair. Read all about how to protect your hair from the sun with hair products containing a UV filter and many other tips.

What is the importance of a UV filter in hair products?

A UV filter in hair products is important for maintaining healthy hair. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can lead to discoloration, dryness, breakage, and loss of shine. A UV filter acts as a barrier between the hair and UV rays, reducing the risk of damage.

Which hair products usually contain a UV filter?

UV filters are usually found in leave-in hair care products, such as hair masks, leave-in conditioners, serums, and oils. When buying a product, always check the back to see if it contains a UV filter. This is especially important if you plan to spend a lot of time outdoors, for example, on vacation or while gardening. Hair products can never provide 100% sun protection. Read below for some other tips on protecting your hair from the sun.

How do you protect your hair from the sun?

We've compiled a few tips that are important if you frequently expose your hair to the sun. Read the tips here:

Tip 1: Headgear

Wearing a hat, cap, or scarf can be a simple but effective solution to protect your hair. Covering your hair minimizes the risk of damage. Moreover, a head covering also protects your scalp from the sun. So always pack your favorite head covering in your suitcase.

Tip 2: Protect with oil

If you don't have a hair product with SPF, you can also use a nourishing oil. Apply the oil to both the top and ends of your hair. This way, you'll protect your hair throughout the day and reduce direct sun exposure.

Tip 3: Avoid chlorine and seawater

Besides the sun, chlorine and saltwater can also further damage your hair. Below are some tips to protect your hair from these damaging influences:

• Put your hair in a ponytail or bun before entering the water. This prevents chlorine or seawater from damaging your hair.

• Wet your hair with regular water before taking a dip. If your hair is already wet, it will absorb less chlorine or seawater.

• Rinse your hair thoroughly as soon as possible after swimming. The salt and chlorine dry out your hair and can make it dull.
