Tips to follow to ensure decreased hair damage from exposure to the sun

Does your greater part of the day involve going out into the sun or do you like to go on day trip? If yes, then do you take all the precautions needed involving your hair because if you don’t then you most probably will be left with enough damaged hair that could take a lot of time to repair? Sunlight contains the much speculated and harmful ultra violet rays or UV rays which can be the primary culprit. UV rays penetrate the outer cuticle layer of the scalp and can reach the hair’s roots or cortex. Due to the penetration, hair and scalp both lose moisture which dries out them both. A dry scalp will result in dandruff and a dry hair cortex will result in hair losing its natural volume and strength. The hair will lose its natural elasticity and will then dry out and break. UV also destroys the colour pigments in the hair which results in grey hair. So it can be easily said that you really need to protect your hair from sunlight. Here are some tips that will help you in doing that.

1- Cover: Before stepping out into the sun make sure that you cover your hair which will help keep those harmful UV rays out. Though the best thing to do is not to step out into the sun for prolonged period of time, especially during the afternoons.

2- Deep conditioning: Go for deep conditioning of your hair at least two times every week. Conditioning will help in supplying all the necessary nutrients to the damaged hair and keep it strong.
