• Premature aging: Just like your skin, your scalp can also age prematurely if you don't protect it properly from the sun.
• Watch out for fine hair! They suffer the most, as they are the most sensitive. If this is your hair type, protect it with special care.
• It weakens: When the scalp burns, stains are created and this makes the hair more vulnerable.Consequences? You may notice that your hair falls out and loses density.
• Dryness and frizziness: Frizziness is a symptom of dehydration, malnutrition or dryness. The hair becomes untamable.
• Loss of color: Especially in light and color-treated hair, you may notice that your color disappears or changes as the days go by. It loses shine, loses body.

The sun's rays, especially ultraviolet rays, penetrate the cuticle (the lining of the hair) and weaken the hair follicles (the concavity under the skin in which each hair grows). This leads to dehydration that changes its structure. "Hair needs 15 to 17% water to stay hydrated. Lightning damages the hydrolipidic layer, cracking the hair and leaving it dry and coarse". The sun that we receive at the beach is more damaging to the hair than that of the city or the mountains, because it adds to other factors such as saltpetre, which has a magnifying effect and attracts the sun's rays; the wind drags particles that produce greater dryness; and the marine minerals in the sand produce oxidation and a progressive destruction of the hair. And in the swimming pool, chlorine can affect coloring and the structure of the hair fiber. Apply a sun oil once a week. and leave it on overnight. It will strengthen the hair and make it more resistant to sun exposure the next morning. Beware of foams, gels, waxes or styling pomades containing alcohol. This dries out the scalp, causing frizz, dandruff and even hair loss. At this time of the year, it is preferable to use organic products such as Eva Jazz hairspray. And the hair dryer if and as long as a thermal protector is applied beforehand.. The latter is ESSENTIAL. If we add the heat of the sun to the heat of this tool, the hair is in danger of getting scorched.

• Drink plenty of water

• Eat diuretic fruits such as melon, pineapple or watermelon.

• It is necessary to avoid exposure to the sun especially in the middle of the day, as UV rays are strongest during these hours. This is especially important

• It is important that we know to choose the right protection factor. Applying sunscreen during the day is mandatory, but doing so when we are going to be exposed to the sun's rays is MANDATORY.

• We must not overdo it with the time we spend in the sun. This can be easily calculated by multiplying the natural protection time of the skin by the factor of the cream. In other words. A clear skin is naturally protected for about 10 minutes, if we apply factor 15 cream the protection would last about 150 minutes. It is also important to apply sunscreen half an hour before sunbathing.

• The best sunscreens sunscreens are those that arewith SPF label of 30 or higher and that are water-resistant, as they stay on our skin for longer, even if we bathe in summer.

• Don't forget the sunglasses and appropriate clothing. to be protected, since it also influences what kind of clothes we wear. If the fabric is loose and tightly woven, we will be more protected. A hat will also help to protect the skin of the face from the sun's rays.The use of sunglasses, as well as UVA and UVB blockers that help protect the eyes from the sun, is essential. Fundamental.
