Summer Hair Care Tips: How to Protect Your Hair From Sun Damage

6 days ago

Keeping Your Hair Healthy In The Sun

After a long winter and rainy spring here in Victoria B.C., we’re all ready for some fun in the sun. But when it comes to your hair, it’s important to take care—prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause damage, including discoloration, dryness, split ends, or frizz. Don’t worry, we are not here to incite fear! Think of us as your supportive friends: encouraging you to make the most of the sunshine while considering some tactics to keep those locks nurtured and fresh.

Sun Haircare Tips from Fish Hairstylists

All our hairstylists agree that summer should be enjoyed to the fullest—while taking a few simple steps to protect one’s hair from the golden sun above. It’s not rocket science, but wearing a hat can be your hair’s life jacket while spending extended periods in the sun. Wearing a hat is especially important for those with fresh colors and for clients with sensitive scalps. Of course, our team also advocate for making some tweaks to your summer routine by adding in products which protect against heat and UV and insert moisture into your hair to prevent damage from the sun. We asked three of our hairstylists about their favorite products for sun-care which are available at Tacklebox Beauty.
