Summer is the season where we can have the best moments of our life. It is that time where we go out, play, have fun in the sun. But at the same time, the sun rays cause major damages to our hair which causes breaking down of hair. The summer heat restricts us from enjoying healthy and bouncy hair all year round as it weakens the strands during summer. The hair becomes lifeless and due to such exposure to the sun, the bouncy and glossy effect is eliminated. Along with that, we face other hair problems such as dandruff, hair fall, etc. The heat causes damage to the scalp as well. Sunburned marks are revealed after long exposure to the sun.

These injuries are inevitable unless we control them in time. We shall have to adopt some simple steps which will ensure the safety of our hair even during summers.

Tips To Protect Hair From The Sun:

Following are some of the best ways for how to protect hair from the sun.

1. Avoiding Cosmetics:

Hair products though make our hair look glossy and beautiful, cause a lot of damage to the roots and scalp. Using too many cosmetics such as coloring or hair treatments at spa’s, weaken the hair and make it dry. Your hair is already dry while you’re enjoying summer. Hence, excessive dryness will not be good for your hair. However, you can use cosmetics on your hair before the summer starts of after the season has passed.

2. Avoiding Lemon Based Products:

Lemon based products make the hair strands dry, which is the one of the major reason of breaking down of hair. Consuming beverages or foods or using products that have the lemon as the base ingredient will dry out the hair at a much faster rate than the usual. Hence, avoiding such products is a must during summers.
