We all know the sun has damaging effects on our skin, we go out of our way to slip, slop, slap and cover up to protect ourselves from skin cancer, but what about our hair? Does the sun really damage our hair that much?
The answer is yes! The sun can definitely damage our beautiful locks. UV rays can cause a whole range of damage, including colour fade, brittle hair, split ends and fizziness.
Fine hair and recently coloured hair are even more susceptible to damage. Fresh hair colour can fade rapidly due to the UV rays bleaching the pigment in your hair and fine hair can become brittle and weak faster.
So how do we prevent all of this from happening?
The sun is always at its strongest between 10am and 3pm, so if you can it is wise to avoid the sun during these hours for your hair (and skins) sake.
However there are measures we can install in our routine to keep our hair protected even if we are out during these times. Find a haircare brand that has a UV barrier protectant! This will protect your hair against the suns damaging rays and give you the freedom to not worry about breakage and colour fade.
We highly recommend Davroe haircare, the entire range is formulated to protect, enhance and prevent colour fade and includes a UV barrier across the entire range of products that protects against sun damage and leaves your hair happy and healthy.
We know summer brings the heat and that means so many more beach visit and days around the pool. What what is that salty sea and chlorinated pool doing to your hair?
Salt and water mixed together created a saline solution that coats your hair. This can leave your hair feeling rough, damaged and dry even after shampooing. Continuous exposure can lead to your hair appearing dull and lifeless, toners and colours being stripped and faded and loss of natural hair oil which help your hair to feel nourished.
Chlorine is much the same as it can strip the hair of natural oils and leave it feeling dry and brittle. Swimming in a chlorinated pool often can make your hair highly porous which can result in hair breakage and uneven colour. You will often find (especially if blonde) that swimming in chlorine can alter your hair colour making it appear blue or green in appearance, this is a result of chemical reaction occurring. The green colour is not actually from the chlorine itself but from the copper that is oxidised by chlorine. This copper soaks into your hair giving it that famous blue/green tinge.
