6 ways to Protect Your Hair From the Sun

The sun can be harsh on your skin, but did you know it can also damage your hair? Sun damage can cause your hair to become dry, brittle, and prone to breakage. At Belt Salon, we want to make sure our clients' hair is healthy and protected, so we've compiled some tips on how to protect your hair from the sun.

1. Wear a hat One of the easiest ways to protect your hair from the sun is by wearing a hat. A wide-brimmed hat can provide shade to your hair, protecting it from the sun's harmful UV rays.

2. Use a UV protectant spray Just like you protect your skin with sunscreen, you can protect your hair with a UV protectant spray. These sprays are designed to help block the sun's UV rays from damaging your hair.

3. Avoid heat styling tools The sun can already be damaging to your hair, so avoid adding to the damage by using heat styling tools. Try to air dry your hair whenever possible and use heat styling tools sparingly.

4. Condition your hair regularly Conditioning your hair regularly can help prevent sun damage. A good conditioner can help protect your hair and keep it hydrated, making it less prone to breakage.

5. Limit your time in the sun Just like with your skin, limiting your time in the sun can help prevent sun damage to your hair. Try to avoid spending prolonged periods of time in direct sunlight, especially during peak hours when the sun's rays are strongest.

6. Use a leave-in conditioner with SPF A leave-in conditioner with SPF can help protect your hair from the sun's harmful UV rays while providing hydration and nourishment to your hair.

By following these tips, you can help protect your hair from the damaging effects of the sun. At Belt Salon, we want to help our clients achieve healthy, beautiful hair. Contact us today to schedule an appointment or to learn more about our hair care services.
