We all know to use protection on our skin from the sun, but what about our hair? It's true: UV rays can fade color and dry it out, making it brittle and prone to breakage. Luckily, I have some tips that will work year-round to protect your hair. Check 'em out:
- A hat is the easiest way to protect your hair.
- Look for shampoos/conditioners that have UV protection in them, such as L'Oreal Color Vibrancy.
- Look for serums/creams with UV protection.
- Always use heat protectant, even before blow drying your hair.
- If you're going to be around water for the day, I suggest applying conditioner (I love Aussie 3 Min Miracle) or oil and leaving it in your hair all day. When you wash your hair, it will be super soft and damage-free.
- One oil I like to use in my hair is Argan. I was sent a bottle for review by Arganesque.
This Moroccan Argan Oil hair treatment is a very versatile product:
- Protects from UV rays
- Can be applied on dry and damp hair
- Can be applied to natural hair extensions
- Gives shine
- Detangles
- Allows hair to dry faster
- Acts as a heat protectant
- Controls out-of-control hair
- Conditions hair
- Helps with frizziness
It comes in a 3.4 oz bottle, which gives plenty of uses. I used this on my ends or ear-level and down. It made my hair silky and shiny, and I had no problems with my hair after using it. I would either allow my hair to dry naturally and occasionally I would blow dry with it. Since my dry hair absorbs oil, I use more than the average person, but most would need very little of the product. The scent is pleasant. I love how the company offers 100% guarantee. I would recommend this Argan oil. It is $19.99 on Amazon.

Yes!! A hat is the easiest way to protect your hair. But with the outer protection hair needs inner health too for good looks.

Love the idea of this product! Would love to try it!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that I never really protect my hair from the sun... except for with my hat, that is.
ReplyDeleteI have been using an oil on my hair, but my salon no longer carries it. This post is timely: I'll definitely check out Argan! Hugs, T. http://tickledpinkwoman.blogspot.com
