How to Protect Your Hair in the Sun

by Expert Contributor Mary Rosato, Owner of Salon Bella

Summer has officially arrived — this means time for beach days and fun in the sun. However, spending hours under the sun’s harsh rays can cause your hair to suffer. But don’t worry, there are ways to keep your locks luscious even on the hottest of days.

The summer weather can really compromise your hair’s natural moisture, but using a leave-in conditioner is a great way to regain your hair’s softness and shine. Morrocanoil Protect & Prevent spray is a perfect UV protectant product that not only shields your hair from dryness, but will also help with color fading and brassiness.

Having a maintenance plan for your hair is ideal when it comes to keeping your hair hydrated this summer. Start with using a hair mask or deep conditioning treatment once a week. Be sure to rinse your hair with cooler water after conditioning. After a rough dry, add your favorite styling product.

Forget the flat irons and curling irons this season — there are other ways to style your hair in beachy waves without applying any heat at all. All you have to do is loosely braid your hair, let it dry, and finish it off with a texture spray. Run your fingers through your hair and voila —beautiful beach waves.

Other fun ways to style the hair while keeping it covered this summer is styling in a loose braid or bun. Avoid pulling back or pulling it up too tightly — this will cause stress on the hair.

Spending hours in the sun can also cause brassiness, which many of us want to avoid. Adding baby lights is a perfect way to freshen up your locks for the rest of the summer.

While maintaining beautiful hair throughout the summer is important, it does not end there. Lash lift and tints are another way to enhance your true beauty this season. Many of us want to look and feel glamorous while out in the sun or on vacation, but may not want to worry about applying makeup each day. The lash lift procedure curls the lashes and can last up to one month. If you're looking for low-maintenance lashes, lash lifts and tints are a must.

Summer is meant for long nights, spontaneous trips, and carefree fun — so why not feel beautiful while doing it!
