Tips for protecting hair from sun exposure

Sunscreen is a must for the skin. There is no doubt about it and there has been an increase in awareness regarding the use of sunscreens to prevent skin damage caused by the sun, but what about hair? should we protect our hair? Hair is one of the most neglected areas when summer arrives. However, it is important to consider that ultraviolet rays break down the hair cuticle, leaving the strands dry, damaged and frizzy. What does this mean? Hair is also sensitive to sun exposure and must be protected. How? Gisèle Denis gives you the best tips to take care of your hair this summer.

wHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO PROTECT HAIR IN SUMMER?

In summer hair tends to dry out and lose shine. This happens because the sun dries out the ends and can burn the scalp, plus the increased humidity can lead to more hair loss.

- Sweat and heat increase hair problems such as dandruff and split ends. They also sometimes lead to increased hair loss and dry hair.

- Summers can also be hard on the scalp, causing dryness and sunburn.

THE BEST TIPS TO PROTECT YOUR HAIR FROM THE SUN:

1. Start the summer with a haircut:

Summer weather can cause the ends of your hair to dry out and become brittle. This time of year is the ideal time to get a new haircut or opt for regular touch-ups that will keep hair in good condition and reduce the risk of split ends.

2. Don't forget the scalp:

Many people believe that hair protects the scalp, but in reality that is not the case and when the scalp receives excessive heat it affects the quality of the hair and even weakens the ends.

A healthy scalp means healthy hair. Spray treatments such as Gisèle Denis Hair Sunscreen help protect the hair and keep the hair fiber hydrated and protected from external aggressions and help restore the hair's natural moisture and shine. It contains the latest generation of sun filters that provide effective protection against the action of UV-A and UV-B rays.

Gisèle Denis Hair Sunscreen contains Grape Seed and Vitamin E: they protect hair from the sun, salt and chlorine.

3. Reduce the frequency of hair washing:

The oil that the hair naturally produces protects it from the sun, so it is advisable to space out hair washing during the warmer months. To make your hair less greasy and less dirty, you can wear it in a bun or a ponytail to prevent it from generating more heat.

4. Wear a wide-brimmed hat that covers the face and neck:

This type of accessory offers additional protection from the sun. Fabric matters, too. According to the American Cancer Society, straw hats are not as protective as tightly woven hats.

5. Extra care for color-treated hair:

Color-treated hair needs extra care. Chemical treatments mixed with the hot summer sun can cause color fading and dry hair. It is important to choose hair care products specifically for color-treated hair.

6. Avoid heat sources:

Hair is already exposed to the heat of the sun, so it is best to avoid tools such as flat irons and hair dryers during the summer. It is best to let the hair air dry whenever possible. If using a hair dryer, it is recommended to opt for the low or medium heat setting and always use a heat protection product.

7. Use wide-tooth combs:

Instead of brushing the hair with a regular hair brush, it is recommended to use a wide-toothed comb. This will help detangle the hair after a long day at the beach and help prevent breakage when doing so.

8. Use a post-sun treatment:

Hair like skin also begs for repair after sun exposure.

Gisèle Denis Post-Solar Hair Serum is a leave-in treatment for dry or damaged hair after sun exposure. Its innovative formula brings lightness and immediate shine to the hair, while intensely repairing and correcting split ends. The hair fiber is deeply nourished and regenerated by retaining water in the heart of the hair, thus maintaining its hydration, with extreme softness.

Its ingredients make this product ideal for repairing damaged hair:

- Grape Seed: active ingredient rich in procyanidins and Vitamin E, which have a powerful moisturizing and antioxidant action, also protecting the color of color-treated hair and restoring its shine and naturalness.

- Arginine: amino acid that participates in the synthesis of proteins and is found naturally in our body. It improves blood flow to the hair follicles and thus stimulates hair growth and gives it a healthy and strong appearance.

- Urea: moisturizing and repairing active ingredient of the hair cuticle, which corrects the damaging effects of solar radiation and dyes on the hair, giving it strength, shine and nourishment.
