Protecting our skin against solar rays is something that may come naturally to us. Ultra violet rays type A and B does not only cause havoc to our skin, but also to our hair and scalp. These rays have the power to cause internal damage to the cuticle and scalp. This damage manifests in the form of brittleness, split ends, hair loss, breakage and loss of color pigmentation.
Color fade is a major concern for women who enjoy trips to the beach and sunbathing during the hot summer days, when ultra violet rays are the most strongest. Keep in mind that no matter the season, you still need protection from these rays.
To calculate how much protection you are getting with your SPF product, multiply it by the minutes it takes you to get burned.
For example: Let's say your skin burns in 15 minutes and you have a sunscreen with SPF 15, multiply these two numbers. The result (15x15= 225 minutes) shows how long you are protected. Now, the product you use will only protect the areas or sections you cover. Make sure you are generous and all your hair is saturated. All forms of hats are the #1 recommendation. They are great, but at times inconvenient. Another option to protect your hair and scalp from ultra violet rays is to wear sunscreen. There are many haircare brands that offer a sun haircare line. Here are some of my favorites:
