Many people suffer from hair damaged by ultraviolet rays. Once hair is damaged, it will not regrow unless it is re-grown, so it is important to take action as soon as possible. Here we will introduce how much UV rays damage hair, UV care for damaged hair, and future UV countermeasures.
Hair is affected by UV rays many times more than skin
Surprisingly few people take UV care of their hair. However, once outside, hair is directly exposed to the sun’s rays, and is affected by UV rays several times more than skin.
If you look at the surface of your hair and notice a lack of luster, an increase in split ends or breakage, or brownish hair, it may be a sign of UV wrinkles. There are many ways to protect your hair from UV rays, and some of them are easy to do.
UV care that can be easily taken care of
To protect your hair from the effects of ultraviolet rays, it is important to avoid exposure to ultraviolet rays. Hats and parasols are recommended for days when the sun is strong or when going out for long periods of time. Hats should be well ventilated, pastel in color to prevent heat buildup, and wide-brimmed.
A parasol should be thick and of a dark color, such as black or navy blue, to suppress ultraviolet rays.
If you are going out suddenly and cannot prepare a hat or parasol, it is effective to wear your hair in a bun to reduce the surface area exposed to the sun.
Solid hair care, even in summer.
Many UV-cut shampoos and treatments are now available for daily use, which are also very attractive for UV care. In particular, “no-rinse treatments” are very reassuring when going out, as they not only cut UV rays but also make your hair shiny.
For those who want full-fledged UV protection, we recommend UV sprays. This spray type is easy to use, yet effective UV care can be expected because it spreads the effect evenly through the hair.
Please check out the “UV absorber-free” and “UV scatterer for sensitive skin” types, which can also be used for children.
