I think everyone already knows that UV rays damage the skin and that whitening is compromised as a result. But these ultraviolet rays are not only damaging to your skin, they are also very damaging to your hair! We will talk about the reasons for this and aftercare.
UV rays are very damaging to hair! Why is that?
Ultraviolet rays can also have a significant negative impact on hair. The “light” of ultraviolet rays attacks the cuticle on the surface of the hair. The cuticle is also the “barrier” of the hair, but it is not the only place that can shut everything out. It can slip through this cuticle and break down the melanin inside, resulting in a reddish-brown color even on healthy hair.
As a result, the hair is also damaged.
Damaged hair is said to cause hair problems like breakage and split ends. UV rays can also damage the “cystine” bonds that make up the hair’s protein, causing hair to break off in unnatural places. This phenomenon is called “split ends” or “hair breakage. It also contributes to scaling and hair loss, so care must be taken.
Hats and moisturizing are effective preventive measures. But don’t be discouraged if you say, “I forgot to take precautions during the summer…” Don’t be discouraged. Knowing how to take aftercare measures can minimize that damage!
What about aftercare?
Aftercare for hair after exposure to UV rays includes
Maintain a clean environment
Repair
Moisturizing
Repair and moisturizing are important.
Damaged hair means that the scalp, which supports the hair, is also damaged. It is a good idea to massage your scalp gently with jojoba oil. The first priority is to improve the condition of the scalp, prevent dandruff, and keep the scalp clean.
Next, it is necessary to “repair damaged hair. For this, you can use a treatment. Rubbing in the product will help it to penetrate firmly to the inside of the hair. If you want to make it penetrate more firmly inside, warm your hair with a steamed towel to open the cuticles and make it easier to penetrate. Although conditioners and rinses are also effective, it is treatments that are currently thought to be able to penetrate “internal hair damage.
I just need to pick the right treatment for me!
And finally comes “moisturizing”. Moisturizing is an important keyword in protecting both skin and hair.
A well-moisturized hair is like having another layer of barrier on top of the hair cuticle. This is very important to protect your hair from the UV rays it will be exposed to in the future!
We want to protect our hair after it has been exposed to ultraviolet rays by taking good care of it.
