Tips to protect your hair from the sun

Tips to protect your hair from the sun

Tips to protect your hair from the sun

Exposure to the sun for long hours, chlorine and saltpeter can cause damage to the hair during the summer season that is sometimes irreversible. Changes in color 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 such harmful consequences 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 a beautiful and healthy head of hair this summer, without giving up 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 appearance and hydration.

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 state-of-the-art 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 fiber hydrated and restoring its natural shine.

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

2. Covering the 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 style. As with the skin, the best way to prevent the harmful effects of UVA and UVB rays is to protect yourself by covering 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 that help to avoid tangles

3. Rinse to remove saltpetre or chlorine

After cooling off in the sea or in the pool, it is advisable to rinse the 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 a lot to use natural masks and shampoos that protect, soften, moisturize and help to improve its appearance by getting rid of frizz.

4. Use wide-tooth combs

Untangling your hair with a wide-toothed comb is essential to prevent breakage, especially if it is wet, because at that time it is easier for it to break. Even more so if your hair is curly, in which case, it will come in handy to prevent frizz. So leave your brushes for when your hair is dry and switch to a wide-toothed comb.

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

5. Treat 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 no-rinse 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 moisturizing and antioxidant action, protects color-treated hair color and restores shine.

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

Urea moisturizes 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, due to its cocktail of active ingredients, helps to deeply nourish the hair fiber and regenerate it, favoring water retention inside the hair. It maintains its hydration and provides extreme softness, repairing it after sunbathing.

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

6. Maintaining a healthy diet

Following a diet that includes foods rich in vegetable proteins and fats helps your hair to stay healthy, strong and shiny.

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

7. The most dreaded moment: cutting to the chase

If you follow these tips thoroughly you'll most likely be spared from the salon after your vacation. But if you've skipped these tips and your hair ends the summer burnt, looking straggly and breaking easily, the only thing left to do is to resort to the most dreaded moment: to give it a chop and remove the split ends and damaged ends.

Once this moment has arrived, don't resist and opt for a complete clean-up of your mane. Remove at least 5 centimeters and you will rejuvenate your image, strengthening the capillary tissues
