In the hot season, many people use sunscreens; they reliably protect the skin from the negative and harmful effects of bright ultraviolet rays. But for some reason, almost all of us forget that hair needs additional protection in summer season... Summer, so pleasant and inviting, is the main enemy of the beauty and health of the hair, because the sun's rays, air conditioners and fans in the premises, salty sea water, increased dustiness of the air - all this causes tangible harm not only to the external state of the curls, but also to their internal structure. In order to take maximum care of the beauty and health of the curls, it is important to use hair protection from the sun in the summer season.

The sun is the main enemy of hair beauty

Ultraviolet rays cause colossal damage to any type of strand.

• Alpha rays, included in the ultraviolet component, instantly dehydrate the hairs.
• Beta rays, which are also part of the sun's rays, negatively affect the color of the strands, destroying the pigment of both natural and colored hair. If you do not take care of your hair and stay in the sun for a long time without the protection of certain means, then the strands become dull, thin, brittle, lifeless, begin to split and fall out.
• In addition, ultraviolet light helps to "pull" from the structure of the hairs nutritious and fortified components, water and lipids. The result of this action is thin and bulky curls, devoid of flexibility and elasticity.
• Another negative factor, which is observed more often in the summer, is frequent washing head, which helps to dry the strands.

But the bright sun is a great danger for dyed hair, since ultraviolet light actively neutralizes chemical dyes, which leads to the appearance of a completely unusual color shade on the hair. In addition, frequent and prolonged exposure to the sun contributes to the fact that the colored curls begin to fall out, and after that signs of early baldness form on the head.

What is hair care in summer?

Since in the summer the curls are negatively affected by several natural factors at once, then the protection for the strands should be comprehensive. To ensure the most effective protection of your hair from the sun's rays, you must adhere to the following basics:

• Between 11.00 and 16.00 o'clock in the daytime, being outside under the scorching rays of the bright sun, it is important to always wear a hat. It is advisable in the summer to always have a light kerchief with you, a scarf or a hat, so that you can put them on immediately if necessary.
• After swimming in the sea, in a river, pond or in any other natural body of water, it is important to rinse the curls with clean water. A herbal decoction based on such plants as chamomile, nettle, calendula, St. John's wort, etc. can become a substitute for water.
• If you have a trip to the southern resort towns, then you need to give up dyeing, highlighting or perming strands. The indicated beauty treatments can be done approximately 2 weeks before the planned trip.

• In the hot period of the year, it is important to minimize the use of thermal tongs, hair irons, and hair dryers.
• Before swimming in salt sea water, curls need to be treated with nourishing and protective essential oils.
• Before visiting the beach or just going outside under the scorching rays of the sun, curls must be treated with a protective spray or shampoo / gel / balm.
• To stimulate the release of protective lipids on the scalp, curls are recommended to be regularly combed with massage combs made of natural materials.
• It is highly undesirable to lighten the strands with any kind of lightening agents throughout the summer.
• While the weather is hot and sunny, it is recommended to stop using styling products such as foam, gel, varnish, mousse. You can replace the specified styling products with special hairstyle fixation sprays, which contain UV-protective substances.

• For shampooing throughout the summer, you can use only soft, moderately warm water. You can soften it by simply boiling it or adding lemon juice.
• For colored strands, maximum care is required; they must be regularly treated with shampoos or toners that fix the color.
• To fully protect the strands from negative and harmful sunlight, care for the curls should be comprehensive.

• La Biosthetique has launched the Vitalite Express Cheveux sunscreen spray, which also acts in two directions (protection plus effective care) plus has reliable water resistance. The natural composition of the protective agent provides restoration of damaged hairs.

Tips to help you protect your skin and hair from sun damage:

The product is applied to the roots and the entire length of the strands, thereby providing reliable protection from the effects of UV rays, nourishment and restoration of damaged hair.

• Almond oil.
• Coconut oil.
• Jojoba oil.

Shampoos

All cosmetologists advise using sunscreen shampoos in the summer, but it is important to remember that such a remedy gives only a temporary effect, since after washing the head, there is practically no protective layer on the hairs.

• After a long stay in bright sunlight, it is recommended to lubricate the curls with a mask consisting of 1 egg yolk, a small amount burdock oil and 1 tbsp. l. fat sour cream (can be replaced with kefir). The product is kept on the surface of the head for about half an hour, and then washed off with warm water.

Summer gives us a lot of positive emotions, it fills the body with health, positive and cheerfulness. But so that the pleasant impressions of the hot season are not overshadowed by burnt out or overdried curls, you must always use hair protection from the negative effects of the sun. And it doesn't matter what means will be used for this - cosmetic or folk.

Before the trip

You should start preparing even before you start packing your suitcase. Here are some simple rules:
1. Perm should be done in the cabin at least 3 weeks before the start of the trip.
2. And any type of hair dyeing should be done at least 2 weeks in advance. Although it is best to refuse this procedure altogether. Coloring is a serious test for hair and you should not expose it to unnecessary stress.
3. Visit the hairdresser a week before departure. Have him trim off any split ends of his hair. It is a great idea to shorten your haircut, so you can seriously ease your hair care.

What damaging factors threaten your hair directly on vacation?

There are three of them: ultraviolet radiation from the sun, hot and strong winds, and exposure to salty sea or chlorinated pool water. Unfortunately, all of these factors will act on you at the same time, amplifying each other's negative effects. Let's take a look at them in turn and tell you about the effective protection of hair from the sun, sea water and wind.

• Ultraviolet

The sun's ultraviolet radiation is divided into three types depending on the wavelength: UVA, UVB and UVC. UVC waves are highly scattered in the Earth's atmosphere, and therefore their effect is minimal and can be neglected. But UVA and UV B radiation hits our hair almost unchanged. Their damaging effect is also different: UVA waves dry hair intensively, and UV B - destroy pigment, leading to a loss of natural color.

But to protect skin and hair from harmful ultraviolet radiation is quite easy. Any lightweight headdress or scarf will help you here. Or, if you do not want to use unnecessary wardrobe details, then you will have to use special sunscreens, which we will talk about in more detail below. The main thing to remember here is to apply SPF filters at least half an hour before leaving the house, and not sitting on the beach.

• Hot and strong wind

The hot air draws moisture out of the hair rather quickly. Rapid gusts of wind easily entangle your hair, which can lead to breakage and split ends. But this problem is typical mainly for long hair and you can cope with it by simply collecting them in a ponytail or, better, in a braid. AND tangled hair you will need to comb gently with a sparse-toothed comb and spray conditioner.

• Sea or chlorinated water

Here the main danger is sea salt or chlorine contained in pool water. They very quickly wash out dyes from the hair and dehydrate them due to their hygroscopicity. In order to cope with this danger, it is enough to thoroughly rinse your head with clean fresh water at least once a day.

What to take with you and how to protect your hair from the sun at sea?

First, a headdress should be your indispensable companion. Panama made of natural light fabric or even a straw hat will give your head excellent protection from both UV and heatstroke. Secondly, you will need a set of products that will provide your hair with sufficient care when traveling to southern latitudes. Such care consists of three stages:

• Cleaning: shampoo

Contrary to popular belief, SPF protection for shampoo is not very important. Even if it contains substances that work as UV filters, then after you rinse your hair, they will practically not remain on your hair. The main tasks when using shampoo are moisturizing and cleansing. Hence, you will need at least two different bottles of this cosmetic product... They should be used in a two to one ratio: 2 times wash your hair with a moisturizing shampoo, one with a cleansing shampoo.

• Recovery: conditioner or mask

This is the main weapon for dealing with negative impact. sea \u200b\u200bsalt... Drying on the hair, the salt makes the cuticle scales rise, and gradually penetrates into the shaft, where it begins to destroy its amino acid base. Using conditioners or repair masks after shampooing will help smooth cuticles and protect your hair from chemical damage.

• Protection: SPF filters

But these care products are exactly what protects hair from the sun directly, blocking its ultraviolet radiation. They work by enveloping each hair, enclosing it in a kind of protective sheath, which, due to its physical and chemical characteristics, does not transmit ultraviolet light.

The release form of such cosmetic products can be very different - oils, creams, sprays, mousses, etc. Which option to choose is not so important, except for the owners thin hair it is better to stop using oils. But what will be really useful is the content in this product, in addition to the ultraviolet filter, of some caring, nutritional or moisturizing components. In this way, you get both sun protection and hair health support at the same time.

Very good choice will become products that do not require rinsing. They can be applied to hair once and left until the next shampoo. And all this time they will perform their protective functions well. Moreover, many manufacturers produce specialized lines for the hot summer time. The formulations in these cosmetics are usually selected in such a way as to make their daily use possible and safe.

Types UV filters

All types of hair protection against ultraviolet radiation from the sun can be divided into three large groups - chemical, natural and physical.

Chemical filters

This is a fairly large group of synthetically obtained substances. These include, in particular:

• avobenzone;
• mexoryl;
• tinosorb;
• octisalicylate;
• octocrylene;
• cinnamates and a number of other compounds.

A feature of such products is their very high reliability and a consistently maximum (SPF 50) degree of protection against UV radiation. Moreover, chemical filters can block both the UVA spectrum and UVB, and some - both at once, being universal. Plus, such substances are water-resistant, colorless, odorless, and leave no marks on hair and skin.

However, cosmetology experts do not recommend using products with chemical filters. Why? Because with all the undoubted advantages, they have a very significant disadvantage - after about two hours of being under the sun, these compounds begin to change their properties and work as oxidants, destroying the protein base of the hair.

Natural filters

Various oils can be used as such agents. In fact, this is the answer to the frequently asked question, how can you effectively and cheaply protect your hair from the Sun at home. This effect is possessed by:

• jojoba oil (SPF 4);
• shea butter (SPF 2-5);
• sesame oil (SPF 5);
• almond oil (SPF 5);
• macadamia oil (SPF 6);
• coconut and olive oil (SPF 2-8);
• avocado oil (SPF 4-15);
• wheat germ oil (SPF 20);
• carrot seed oil (SPF 38-40);
• raspberry seed oil (SPF 28-50).

It would seem, why then buy professional toolsrather than using, say, almond oil to protect hair from the sun? The answer is simple: natural UV filters have a fairly large number of restrictions and application features:
1. They are not suitable for thin hair, as we have already mentioned above.
2. Vegetable oils disintegrate very quickly, and therefore will provide you with protection for no more than one hour, and then it will need to be renewed.
3. The oil film has a certain refractive effect, which "attracts" the sun's rays to the hair. That is, with a minimal decrease in the intensity of protection, the oil begins to work "against" your hair, increasing its fading.

Physical filters

These are primarily titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. Here the sunscreen effect is based solely on the optical properties of these substances, which are capable of reflecting ultraviolet radiation. Their SPF index ranges from 10 to 30. The advantages of such funds:

• maximum safety - they are not toxic and do not interact in any way with either the hair or the scalp;
• versatility - reflect both UVA and UVB spectrum;
• photostability - do not change their properties and structures under the influence of sunlight;
• efficiency even at low concentration;
• low cost.

Physical filters also have a number of disadvantages:

• instability to mechanical stress - such a reflective film can be easily wiped off the hair;
• instability to water - these products are washed off after shampooing and must be reapplied;
• dulling your hair is purely cosmetic and can nevertheless affect your look.

How to use hair protection products correctly?

Vacation hair care should consist of several steps:
1. Dampen hair with warm water, take a small amount of shampoo and massage the roots and scalp until lathering. Then spread this lather all over your hair and rinse.
2. Then use the conditioner on a clean head with the same massaging movements. Next, you need to pause for 5-7 minutes so that the nutrients have time to provide their restorative effect. After that, rinse your head with warm water again.
3. Finally, apply sunscreen to dry hair and leave it there until the next shampoo.

Can I use as UV filter something else, if specialized tools are not available?

Will color, toner, silicone, chamomile, other substances, procedures or herbs protect your hair from the sun? No, they won't. All of these products do not have the ability to prevent the spread of ultraviolet rays. Exactly the same answer will be for the question of whether thermal protection, which is used with hot styling methods, is suitable for protecting hair in the sun. Its task is to prevent high temperatures from damaging hair. And on the beach, the main danger is not heat, but ultraviolet light. Thermal protection is simply not designed to block out solar radiation.

Is there any alternative to specialized SPF cosmetics? Yes, as we said, you can use any vegetable oil, but its protective effect will be short-lived. In addition, sun filters applied to the skin provide temporary protection for the hair. But it is better to use them for a short time, only as an "emergency option".

How can you additionally help your hair when traveling to the sea?

• If you want to lift your hair, it is better to pull it closer to the neck, not to the crown. This will help protect the tips from unnecessary sun damage.
• When making this tail, choose the softest, thickest and widest elastic bands. Unlike tighter and thinner ones, they have a minimal traumatic effect on the hair. A good option the use of a hairpin will also become, better than a wooden one.
• It should be remembered that curling the hair into a "muzzle" is, of course, very convenient, but their long-term stay in this state will not bring anything good. Especially if you twisted more like this wet hair... High humidity makes hair brittle and especially susceptible to any mechanical damage.
• If there is no shower on the beach, take 2-3 liters of fresh water with you and use it to periodically rinse salt from your hair.
• Avoid using high temperature styling tools. Give your hair a break from curls or irons. Moreover, the appearance of the hairstyle, which such a styling can provide you, still will not last too long. There is always high humidity on the seaside, which means that the effect of all your efforts to curl or, conversely, straighten your hair will be destroyed very soon.
• In case you still cannot imagine an evening at the resort without a strict hairstyle, you will need special tools. These are not ordinary hair fixing sprays, but cosmetics bearing the Apres Beach mark. This marking means that this care in a special way adapted to high humidity conditions and with it the hairstyle has every chance of not getting disheveled until late at night.
• Use a comb more often. The best option is a natural bristle brush or a wood or bone comb with sparse and large teeth.

How to maintain hair after returning home from vacation?

Even if you are not too lazy to buy all the sun protection products you need, and did not neglect their use, it is most likely that you will not be able to completely avoid damage. Alas, the intensity of the summer sun in southern latitudes is so high that no SPF filter is perfect, and salt water and hot winds will make your hair drier, despite any moisturizing treatments. Therefore, in order to quickly return their condition to normal, you will need to carry out a number of recovery measures:

• During the first week after your vacation, wash your hair at least a couple of times with a mild cleansing shampoo.
• Pay extra attention to hydration to help relieve the flaky scalp that often results from the combined effects of sun, sand and wind.
• Visit your hairdresser to get rid of split and dry ends just like before your trip.
• Try to wash your hair for some time after the trip, not with ordinary clean water, but with decoctions of medicinal herbs. As phytopreparations are perfect pharmacy chamomile, stinging nettle, dried linden flowers, burdock root or string.
• Nutritious masks are very useful during this period. They are easy to make at home. To do this, you need to take 2 egg yolk and add to them the juice squeezed from half a medium-sized lemon. Stir the resulting mixture and pour 10 drops of any vegetable oil (better than burdock or almond). Apply this mask to the washed head, spreading it over the entire hair. Cover them with cling film, and on top with a terry towel and hold for 15-20 minutes. Then rinse your hair thoroughly with warm water and comb it gently.

The sun and water contribute to the formation of a chemical reaction in hair that is comparable to lightening hair, and we all know how this negatively affects the quality of hair.
I think each of you noticed that after summer, the hair begins to break, split, their appearance leaves much to be desired, so it is important to protect our hair as much as possible.
In this article I would like to talk about sun protection of hair, this topic is especially relevant in the summer, that is, now, because it is so important to have healthy and beautiful hair all year round.
The topic is so full of secrets and mysteries that it has not yet been fully studied. I, on the Internet, reading various articles of scientists who study hair at the molecular level, tried to squeeze out the obtained material as much as possible in order to explain the topic of hair sun protection in a language that is understandable to you.
In this article, I will analyze with you what protection filters are. I will analyze their pros and cons. I will make my choice in favor of the one that in my opinion is the best.
Then I will give the concept of aging hair. I'll tell you what factors contribute to this.
Then I will analyze the importance of using the solar series, in combination. And in conclusion, I'll show you what choice I made for my hair.
So let's get started.
I decided to arrange the three types of protection in the form of a table, so it is most visual and convenient for comparing information.

As can be seen from the table that natural filters they will definitely not be an effective protection for hair, since their property of attracting the sun's rays is not the most positive moment, for example, for brunettes, since hair becomes a reddish hue during burnout. Blondes and fair-haired may well neglect this filter if the goal is to lighten hair. But here we should not forget that this has a detrimental effect on the quality of the hair and promotes rapid photoaging. Below I will tell you why this is bad.
Physical filters, are considered the safest and most effective, although they have an average degree of protection. Their only drawback is that they tend to be damaged by mechanical movements, for example from friction of a towel, they also do not have a water-repellent property and will need to be renewed every time after bathing.
In addition to these disadvantages, this also includes the fact that your hair will be matte and will acquire an undesirable look, gloss and shine. But you must admit, these are trifles, it is not so important that your hair is beautiful on the beach, it is more important that it remains beautiful later. This haze and whiteness can be easily washed off with a special shampoo.
To chemical filters do not use, in particular, in cosmetics for hair sun protection. Yes, they will protect better and have the highest possible protection, but they have a huge disadvantage, the ability to oxidize.

After 2 hours, they will not protect, but have a detrimental effect on the condition of the hair, reacting to the destruction of amino acid chains.

studopedia.ru
Chemical filters must be urgently washed off the hair after 2 hours, otherwise the aging reaction of the hair shaft will occur.
Even if the product contains a physical filter, there is no need to rinse. The physical filter tends to dry out the hair (zinc oxide and titanium oxide dry out the skin and hair), thereby provoking dryness and brittleness. Therefore, do not forget about the constant washing of your hair, during an active holiday at sea.
I'm sure no one will run home from the beach to rinse off the applied product, so I would not use the maximum hair protection factor.

Above I wrote that I will talk about hair aging. What does aging have to do with it? You will find out now.
Aging of hair consists in aging of the hair shaft and aging of the hair follicle.
If the aging of the stem occurs due to atmospheric conditions (bad ecology, smoking, etc.), photoaging (from UVA | UVB rays), then aging of the hair follicle occurs due to a decrease in the function of melanocytes (due to gray hair) and a reduction in hair production (baldness-alopecia) ... If the second type of aging depends on genetics and hormonal levels (someone turns gray at 20, and someone does not even at 40) gray hair), as well as with alopecia, the aging of the hair shaft will directly depend on how properly you care for your hair (everyone remembers what is meant by proper care? Moisture. Nutrition. Restoration. Protection). Hair protection is one of the most important stages of hair care, you can spend thousands and tens of thousands of rubles on jars for moisturizing, nourishing and restoring hair, but forget about protection (from thermal devices, sun protection, protection in the cold) and at the same time not see any effect from them ... Without protection, you can stay at home without using a hair dryer and other styling devices. You did not notice such a feature, you made a hair mask and your hair is like silk, but as soon as you go outside, dryness and brittleness immediately appear. Personally, I always noticed this, but could not understand the reason. Now I realized that this is the influence of the sun's rays, which negatively affect the body as a whole, even when it is cloudy outside.

up to 80% of the rays penetrate through clouds and clouds. Secondly, unlike UVB rays, which are most active from March to October, the most dangerous UVA rays are active all year round. UVA rays calmly penetrate through glass, and in addition are reflected from surrounding objects.

Protecting your hair is a must if the length is dear to you and you are not going to cut everything to zero after the summer.
I think everything is clear with photoaging.

Do I need to buy a whole line or can I get by with one spray?
This is the most frequently asked question of every girl who is interested in buying a solar series for the first time.
Let's figure it out. First of all, you need to understand for what purpose you are going to purchase this or that line. If you do not plan to go to the sea, the beach, then it is quite possible to do with your previous care, but at the same time having bought a spray from the solar series. It is also worth starting from the region in which you live, the closer to the equator, the more you will need the entire line of funds.
Well, if the purpose of your purchase is to protect hair for a trip to the sea, then again it is worth purchasing a line that contains:

• shampoo
• mask / balm spray
• cream or oil indelible

Why? And how to use these funds correctly.
I am answering the question why? I would say that these four means will complement each other, creating layer-by-layer protection.
So, for example, shampoo will be excellent, but at the same time carefully, to cleanse the hair from the very filters that act as a barrier in cosmetics, as well as cleanse the hair from sea salt, sand and chlorine (if you swim in the pool).
A mask or balm will restore hair, softening and nourishing the hair cuticle, making hair soft and elastic. I would recommend making a choice in favor of a mask, since they are more powerful in their action and it is at the sea, under the scorching rays of the sun, that the mask will become your salvation for your hair.
It is better not to buy a balm at all or use it on less sunny days.
The next step in hair care will be the application of a creamy leave-in or oil.
In my opinion, it is better to give preference to cream, as they will attract the sun's rays less. Gently apply the creamy leave-in after showering to damp hair.
The final stage will be a hair spray, which will cover the hair with a protective barrier, a film. It is necessary to choose a spray that can be renewed every time after bathing or every 2-3 hours, so that it does not dirty the hair.
How to check if the spray works on hair? Does your hair “burn” and heat up after application? Your spray is not working, change it.
Personally, this was the case for me, the spray from the Estel brand did not work, since the hair heated up with it and I felt how they burn.
Therefore, I changed it to spray from the Angel brand.
Let me show you what kind of care I bought for my hair?

I decided to opt for the brand angel and londa. Why? I love the Angel brand dearly and I know that everything she promises is fulfilling. And she took londa on the recommendation of her sister.


If we talk about whether there is any sense from these funds, then my post will drag on for many letters.
Therefore, let this review be, so to speak theory, and the experiment itself with all the conclusions I will write in another review. I also wanted to write and show my complete hair care in the summer, I think I will combine them into one post.


I will show the condition of my hair after two hot months: May / June, I am 100% satisfied with the quality of my hair.

Hopefully now you have no doubts that hair needs to be protected? And you realized that physical filters are the best for hair. And of course, do not forget about protecting the hair roots; for this, be sure to wear a hat (cap, hat, scarf). And if you do not protect your hair in summer, then it will come back to haunt you during the cold period, then your hair will begin to break, split, dry and electrify.
I tried to explain all the nuances in as much detail and in an accessible language as possible, I hope I succeeded.
Thank you all for your attention and for your time. Masha was with you, see you soon!

Summer is not only about the sea, the beach and a seductive tan, but also an intensive care of your hair. Summer period the most stressful for your hair. Ultraviolet rays dehydrate hair and destroy pigments in it, seawater dries strands, makes them brittle, and salt and sand collects on the roots and contaminates hair. Hair protection from the sun and salt water is essential during this period.

Hair protection products

The variety of sun protection products is impressive. What to choose? Oil, spray or mask? Or maybe all together? Let's figure it out!
Both natural and colored strands can be exposed to the harmful effects of sunlight.

Therefore, specialists have developed a series of sunscreens with the SPF mark. The line of UV protection products is represented by shampoos, sprays, masks, oils, balms and conditioners.

The difference between this line and conventional hair cosmetics is that it wraps the strands in a protective film that prevents harmful ultraviolet rays from affecting hair color and destroying its structure. In addition, sunscreens for hair moisturize strands well, fill them with vitamins and proteins.
