Just like your skin, your hair can suffer from damage caused by UV rays .

3. Precautions at the Beach and at the Pool

Sea salt and chlorine from swimming pools can dry out and damage your hair.

• Rinse before and after swimming : Rinse your hair with clean water before entering the sea or swimming pool. Wet hair will absorb less salt and chlorine. After swimming, rinse again to remove residue.
• Protective oils : Apply a hair oil before swimming to create a protective barrier. Coconut oil or argan oil are ideal for this.

4. Minimize heat use

Avoid using hair dryers, straighteners and curling irons as much as possible. The extra heat can make sun damage worse.

• Dry naturally : Let your hair air dry. If you must use a hair dryer, opt for a low heat setting.
• Protective hairstyles : Braids, buns, and other protective hairstyles can help minimize damage by reducing sun exposure and avoiding excessive manipulation.
