Tips to protect your hair from the sun

Exposure to the sun for long hours, chlorine and saltpetre cause damage to the hair during the summer season that is sometimes irreversible. Changes in colour or texture, dehydration or increased brittleness are the easiest to detect. Others, such as the weakening of the cuticle, are more complicated to tackle, because they cause harmful consequences such as the loss of pigments, water, amino acids and lipids that are usually found in the hair structure. So it is clear that, during the warmer seasons, it is better to be safe than sorry.

The solution to this progressive deterioration, which will of course heal your mane, is to cut it and remove the damaged part. However, for most of us, this is a last resort. We give you the ultimate tips to be cautious, know how to take care of your hair and still have beautiful, healthy hair this summer, without giving up on enjoying the beach or the pool and avoiding having to resort to expensive repair treatments at your hairdresser to restore your hair to its natural look and moisture.

1. Use Gisèle Denis Capillary Sunscreen before and during each exposure

Prevention is essential to prevent hair deterioration - good news! We have the product that will save your hair from the scissors this summer: Gisèle Denis Hair Sunscreen.

Its latest-generation sun filters provide a highly effective protective shield against UVA and UVB rays. And the Grape Seed and Vitamin E contained in its formula protect the hair from external aggressions such as salt or chlorine, keeping the hair fibre moisturised and restoring its natural shine.

For optimum results, we recommend spraying it on your hair before sunbathing and renewing it from time to time while you are on the sun lounger. Use in combination with Aftersun Post-Sun Hair Serum to achieve optimal results.

2. Covering our hair when we are in the sun

Hats, turbans or scarves will be your hair's greatest allies against the sun and will give you a stylish look. As with your skin, the best way to prevent the harmful effects of UVA and UVB rays is to protect yourself by covering up the area, putting up a physical barrier to prevent the sun from hitting your head and damaging your hair.

This remedy is essential to avoid sunburn on the scalp, especially if you have very light hair or suffer from alopecia. For long hair, we recommend using hairstyles such as loose buns or braids to help avoid tangles

3. Rinse to remove saltpetre or chlorine

After cooling off in the sea or in the pool, it is advisable to rinse your hair with fresh water to remove chlorine or saltpetre. Both dry out the hair and contribute to dehydration. To reconstitute it from the inside, it helps to use natural masks and shampoos that protect, soften, moisturise and help to improve its appearance by getting rid of frizz.

4. Use wide-toothed combs

Untangling your hair with a wide-toothed comb is essential to prevent breakage, especially if it's wet, as it's then more likely to break. Even more so if your hair is curly, in which case, it's a great way to prevent frizz. So leave your brushes for when your hair is dry and switch to a wide-toothed comb.

We recommend stiff bristle brushes if you have thick or long hair and natural bristle brushes for short, fine hair.

5. Treat the hair with an aftersun leave-in serum

Once the hair is clean and free from external agents that dry it out, it is ideal to spray it with an aftersun. For this reason, we include in our sun care line the Aftersun Post-Solar Hair Serum, a leave-in treatment specially designed for dry or damaged hair.

Its innovative formula, based on Grape Seed, Arginine and Urea, provides immediate shine to the hair, leaving it light and without weighing it down, while intensely repairing it and correcting split ends. Grape Seed, rich in procyanidins and Vitamin E, provides a powerful moisturising and antioxidant action, protects the colour of dyed hair and restores shine.

Arginine is an amino acid found naturally in the skin whose function is to synthesise proteins, improve blood flow to the hair follicles and stimulate hair growth. It gives the hair a healthy and strong appearance.

Urea moisturises and repairs the hair cuticle, correcting the damaging effects of solar radiation and hair dyes. It provides strength, shine and nourishment.

Frequent use of Aftersun Post-Solar Hair Serum, thanks to its cocktail of active ingredients, helps to deeply nourish the hair fibre and regenerate it, favouring water retention inside the hair. It maintains its hydration and provides extreme softness, repairing it after sunbathing.

Its ideal complement is the Hair Sunscreen, which should be applied before and during the time the hair is exposed to the sun.

6. Maintaining a healthy diet

Eating a diet that includes foods rich in plant-based proteins and fats helps to keep your hair healthy, strong and shiny.

Ingredients such as eggs, avocado and fish are beneficial for hair care. As well as the nutrients that nuts and olive oil provide your body with, which promote hair wellbeing.

7. The most dreaded moment: cutting corners

If you follow these tips thoroughly, chances are you'll be spared a trip to the hairdresser's after your holiday. But if you've skipped these tips and your hair ends the summer looking burnt, damaged and easily broken, the only thing left to do is to resort to the most dreaded moment: to give it a chop and remove split and damaged ends.

Once this moment has arrived, don't resist and opt for a complete clean up. Remove at least 5 centimetres and you will rejuvenate your image, strengthening your hair tissues
