SUMMER<br />

PROOF<br />

YOUR<br />

HAIR<br />

The sun’s UV rays are just as bad for your hair as<br />

they are for your skin. Ultraviolet rays chemically<br />

break down the building blocks of hair – keratin<br />

proteins – making hair weaker, dryer and more<br />

likely to break.<br />

Sun protection for our hair is vital to keeping it<br />

looking its best. Look for shampoos, conditioners<br />

and sprays that shield your hair against the<br />

harmful effects of the sun and provide muchneeded<br />

nourishment.<br />

Summer, sun and swimming can make a<br />

magnificent trio, but beware the dreaded ‘postswim<br />

hair’. The cortex, or inner layer, of hair is<br />

protected by the cuticle, or outer later. Sebum<br />

is a natural lubricant that protects the cuticle.<br />

Chlorine in pools sucks the sebum out of the hair,<br />

which may cause the cuticle to crack. This damage<br />

causes the hair’s natural sheen to diminish and the<br />

unprotected cortex to split (creating split ends).<br />

Using a protective hair product and an anti-<br />

residue shampoo can do wonders to help keep<br />

the effects of chlorine at bay.<br />
