Well, you\u2019ve read it right, there are sunscreens for your hair and scalp too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From sunscreen sprays, to sunscreen powders, hair mists, they come in different types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is very important to use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teenvogue.com\/story\/spf-hair-products\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">sunscreen on your hair<\/a> and scalp every time you go out, especially making sure that the exposed areas like hair partitions, bald patches etc are well-lathered up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_2_Add_scarves_and_hats_to_your_outfit\"><\/span>&nbsp;2. Add scarves and hats to your outfit<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Covering your head is very important whenever you go out in the sun. This will help protect your scalp and hair from damage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So you could wear a hat or a cap, a scarf or a shawl and cover your head so as to protect your hair and scalp from the harsh rays of the sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of people skip covering their heads on cloudy days. Well, this practice must be avoided.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Covering your head on a cloudy day too is just as important as covering your head when the sun is fully out, because the UV rays of the sun are still in the atmosphere and can still cause your hair and scalp damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you do not wish to cover your head at all, then maybe walk around using an umbrella.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Avoid_using_heat_on_your_hair\"><\/span>3.

Most often we tend to use blow dryers, flat irons or curling wands.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These devices can severely damage the hair as it applies direct heat on the hair strands damaging the external protein covering of the hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the external shaft of the hair strand is damaged, it becomes extensively exposed to the UV rays of the sun every time we go out, in turn damaging the inner cortex of the hair strand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, using heat styling tools rarely on the hair and often using cooler and lower temperature settings on these devices are advisable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Wear_hairstyles_that_protect_your_hair\"><\/span>4.

This will lessen the exposure of the scalp and limit the damage to a lesser area of the hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Use_the_right_type_of_shampoos_to_wash_your_hair\"><\/span>5. Use the right type of shampoos to wash your hair<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Say no to shampoos containing sulfates, parabens and coal tar! These products are deadly damaging to the hair and coupled with the harsh rays of the sun, it will only spell trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ingredient coal tar in particular makes the hair and scalp more sensitive to the effects of sunlight. Therefore, it is important to look and see whether your shampoo has these ingredients before buying it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a tip: Coal tar is often found in shampoos meant to treat dandruff. So if you are buying an anti-dandruff shampoo, make sure to buy one without the ingredient coal tar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Go_out_during_the_right_time_of_the_day\"><\/span>6. Go out during the right time of the day<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is something you need to consider \u2013 the timing that you choose to set out of the house. Most often, the sun is at its peak during midday say after 11 a.m. to around 3 p.m. in the noon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So choosing not to be outdoors at this time is preferable. You could either go before or after this time, so you can save your hair and scalp from damage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you do go out during these hours in inevitable circumstances, then you can make sure to keep your head covered or maybe remain in shady areas for the most part at least to reduce the amount of damage caused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Keep_your_head_covered_when_sun_tanning\"><\/span>7.

Is it true that reflective surfaces are bad for the hair?<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>While most often people think that this is a myth, it definitely isn\u2019t. Reflective surfaces are bad for the hair because it can reflect the UV rays of the sun back onto your hair. So avoiding surfaces like water (at the beach, lake or <a href=\"https:\/\/haireveryday.com\/how-to-protect-color-treated-hair-while-swimming\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"12259\">swimming<\/a> pool), snowy areas and sandy places when the sun\u2019s rays are sharp is always recommended.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1658424976483\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<p class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>2. Why do they say that chlorine causes damage to hair when exposed to sunlight?<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Chlorine is a chemical and chemicals are damaging to the hair in any form. So when the chlorine comes in contact with sunlight it makes your hair very vulnerable to excessive damage. Therefore, it is not advisable to swim when the sun is overhead at midday.<br \/>Also, make sure to rinse your hair with plain water, both before and after you swim. This will reduce the amount of chlorine that sticks to your hair.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1658425009350\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<p class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>3.

Most often a sunscreen with SPF of 30 or even a SPF 50 is good enough to protect your hair and scalp.<br \/>Here\u2019s a tip: Choose a water-resistant, waterproof or sweat-resistant sunscreen for the best effects and reapply after a couple of hours when outdoors for extended periods of time.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1658425028391\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<p class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>4.
