Sun Protection for Hair

Discover Why Sun Protection for Hair is Important!

“It’s just as important as skin protection”!

The hair can’t protect itself or self-heal.

Just like our skin, hair can take a beating from UV rays, saltwater, and chlorine.

That’s why it’s super important to prioritize hair care during the summer months! By doing so, you can prevent your locks from becoming lacklustre and fragile once the season wraps up.

Hair and Sun a Challenging Combo

Sun, salt water and chlorine can be rough on the hair! The sun’s UV rays damage the keratin weakening the hair shaft. Salty water and chlorine sit over skin and hair’s natural oils, messing up its protective layer and drying it out.

If you don’t take care and protect your hair in the summer sun, you will certainly notice its effects come autumn—like dry, lacklustre strands and increased hair loss. Remember that hair needs protection to maintain its beauty! 

Prepare your Hair – before the Sun!

Sun Protection for Hair in Australia is an ongoing process.  Start your extra protection at the very beginning of September before Summer begins.

Here’s how:

  • Professional Treatmentsgo to your trusted OPC Salon for treatments where specific treatments can be designed to protect, strengthen and prepare your hair for the sun.
  • Avoid Aggressive treatmentsTo keep your hair healthy under the sun, it’s best to avoid harsh chemical treatments before lengthy sun exposure like beach holidays etc. 
  • Use targeted products: Give your hair some extra love! Use shampoo, conditioner, and protective sprays! They’ll help keep your hair healthy and strong.
  • During Days of Sun ExposureSkip the hairdryer more often and keep your hair happy with hats and scarves! High ponytails can leave your ends exposed to the sun, so try some other styles instead.
