Heat Protection

Your hair is made up of the same protein as your fingernails - keratin - and just as a fingernail can chip and crack, hair can easily be damaged. Heat damage to hair is typically caused by UV rays from the sun, among other things such as blow dryers. 

Exposure to the sun and heat can leave your hair vulnerable to a range of issues. UV rays from the sun can lead to hair color fading and dryness, causing brittle strands that are prone to breakage. Intense heat, whether from styling tools or the environment, can strip away natural moisture, resulting in frizz and lackluster locks.

Prolonged sun exposure can also weaken the protein structure of your hair, leaving it fragile and prone to split ends. Heat-related damage can disrupt the hair's outer protective layer, making it more porous and susceptible to environmental stressors.

To shield your hair, consider wearing a hat or using UV-protective hair products. Minimize heat styling and opt for heat protectants when necessary. Regular deep conditioning and hydration are essential to counter the drying effects. By taking preventive measures and adopting a hair care routine tailored to combat sun and heat damage, you can keep your locks healthy, vibrant, and resilient.
