With summer just around the corner, we are all a little excited to spend more time out in the sun. It’s time to get our hair and skin ready– preventing sun damage to our skin with SPF products.
But did you know, hair is just as vulnerable to UVA and UVB damage?
Expert hairstylist Jeffrey Lyle describes “the harsh aggressions of sun, wind, and chlorinated or salt water produce free radicals which attack the hair fiber, leaving it dry, dull, and weakened. Using products that have UVA and UVB filters will help protect hair from the sun’s harmful rays.”
