Why does your hair need sun protection?

Take advantage of the Paul Mitchell Sun range and keep your hair unchanged all summer long!

The higher the temperature, the more attention we must pay to protection. The sun's radiation is particularly harmful to the skin, but by extension also to the quality of the hair.

What happens to the hair during summer?

The sun, chlorine and sea salt, which are the protagonists of the summer season, can cause serious damage to both skin and hair. However, these effects differ in some respects, with the hair not being able to repair itself, which is why the use of sunscreen hair is reminded as essential and is now a key step in our care before exposure to the sun.

Specifically, because most of the time we neglect the prevention of our hair health, this results in dehydration, removing moisture from the hair fibers and leaving them dry and brittle. This then makes them weak and more prone to breakage and shearing, and can also damage keratin, their main protein, leading to a loss of elasticity and strength.

Continuous exposure, especially during midday hours without proper protection, alters the quality of the hair, making it rough and dull, causing damage to the scalp as well, such as burns and dryness, exacerbating conditions such as dandruff, but also hair loss.

Of course, their appearance is also greatly affected, especially in the case of dyed hair. The color fades and the aging of the hair is accelerated, resulting in the premature appearance of gray hair and the loss of its natural shine and vitality.

How do sunscreens protect hair?

1. They contain UV filters that absorb or reflect the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays, protecting the hair from damage and color change. They act like sunscreens for the skin, creating a protective barrier around the hair.

2. They are rich in moisturizing ingredients such as coconut oil, aloe vera and glycerin. These help retain moisture in the hair, preventing dryness and brittleness caused by sun exposure.

4. Silicones, often found in hair sunscreens, create a protective barrier around the hair, preventing moisture loss and providing shine and softness. In addition, silicones help protect against sea salt and pool chlorine.

5. Natural oils such as jojoba oil and argan oil provide hydration and UV protection. These oils surround the hair and nourish it while protecting it from damage.

6. Some hair sunscreens contain hydrolyzed proteins, which strengthen the hair structure and help repair damage caused by sunlight.
