The Ultimate Guide To Sun-Proofing Your Hair This SummerThese SPF sprays and stylers will shield your scalp and strands from the damaging summer sun |
For parched hair that takes forever and a day to dry
Hair feeling crunchy and fried? Ian Michael Black, Aveda Global Artistic Director for Hair Color, says you can blame UVB rays. These zap hair -- especially color-treated or chemically treated hair that is extra porous -- of any moisture. Long drying time after a shower is proof that your hair is dehydrated and trying its hardest to hold onto any moisture it can get.
Undo the damage: If this sounds like you, Black recommends sealing your hair's cuticle ASAP with a hearty hair mask packed with moisturizers. Kiehl's Olive Fruit Oil Deeply Repairative Hair Pak, $25, is formulated with avocado oil and olive fruit oil to nourish thirsty hair. Grab something to read -- the longer you can leave it on, the better.
Prevent it for good: Help your hair retain moisture by spritzing a spray like Schwarzkopf BC Sun Protect Spray Conditioner, $14.99, which is packed with moisturizing vitamin E and Monoi oil (coconut oil steeped in exotic gardenia blossoms) for hydration and UVA/UVB filters to protect against further damage.
