How to Protect Your Hair from the Summer Sun — 7 Ways to Prevent and Treat Sun Damage to Your Hair

Learn how you can prevent sun damage to your hair or improve the condition of sun-damaged hair for a more youthful look overall.

In 2021, most people understand the importance of protecting their skin from the sun, especially in the summer months and in areas with especially hot climates. And while your hair can’t develop cancer the way your skin can, it also needs protection from the harsh ultraviolet light of the sun. In the summer, your hair becomes especially prone to becoming damaged, frizzy, dry, or breaking. This is especially true if your hair is chemically lightened or colored.

Continue reading to learn how you can prevent sun damage to your hair or improve the condition of sun damaged hair for a more youthful look overall.

Postpone chemical hair treatments until cooler months.

Hair treated with peroxide, bleach, or any other chemical lightening or coloring agents is especially vulnerable to sun damage. This is because stripping the pigment from strands of hair changes its chemical structure. If you are planning to change the color of your hair, consider postponing the change until the weather cools down in early or mid fall.

Protect your hair color.

Whether your hair is treated chemically or you are sporting your natural color, you’ve probably noticed that it gets lighter with more exposure to sunlight. While this can add dimension to your hair color, it can be damaging in excess. Additionally, chlorinated pool water and even saltwater can affect the keratin in your hair, altering its color and causing damage.

Consider using a color sealing formulated product to protect your hair from the sun, particularly if you have chemically lightened hair.

Avoid heat styling.

Heat styling, including use of a hair dryer, adds to the damage caused by sunlight and other factors. It is best to forgo heat styling altogether in the summer months. Instead, allow your hair to air dry and use non-heat methods of styling, if necessary, such as leave-in rollers for curling in place of a curling iron.

If you don’t like the idea of going to work with wet or still drying hair, simply wash your in the evening and let it dry overnight.

Use sun protection.

Just like with your skin, you should always protect your hair with SPF. Even a few minutes of direct sunlight can fry your hair, causing it to become dry and prone to breaking. There are a range of products available that contain SPF in addition to performing another function, and you can find sprays, gels, and creams specifically for sun protection.

Add putting your preferred form of sun protection in your hair to your morning routine, and reapply however frequently the product specifies, as well as any time you know you will be exposed to sunlight for long periods of time.

Moisturize frequently.

You’ve probably noticed that your hair becomes much drier much faster in the summer season, particularly if you have textured hair. As is the case with your skin, moisturizing more frequently and with higher quality products can help to counteract this effect and keep your hair healthy.

Be sure to condition your hair with a moisturizing conditioner every time you wash it. If your hair is still dry, you can use hair masks to provide that extra bit of nourishment.

Always rinse your hair after swimming.

The chemicals that are used in pool water to keep it hygienic can be incredibly damaging to your hair. While chlorine is generally considered to be the most damaging, saltwater can also cause your hair to become dry and prone to breaking. Ideally, you should take a cold shower with shampoo and conditioner after a swim, but even if you are unable to wash your hair, try to rinse the chemicals out of your hair with fresh water as soon as you can, because allowing it to dry on your hair in the sun will compound damage.

Adapt your bedtime hair care routine.

Taking care of your hair in the morning before you start the day and exposing your hair to sunlight is important, but it is also important to take care of your hair at night, which is when your body replenishes its resources and repairs itself. It is also ideal for more time-consuming tasks, such as deep conditioning masks, because you are less likely to be in a rush in the evening before bed.
