You might not be aware of this, but you need to protect your hair from UV radiation just as much as you should protect your skin. Your hair can become dry and brittle from the sun. Besides the straw hat that protects your scalp, you should also be using products that protect the hair from UV damage, just like you are using sun protection cream on your skin. If our skin needs different skincare routines in winter compared to summer, why would our hair be different?
I have been using these products for the last two summers and I love the results. My hair used to get very dry during summer and break a lot. However, since using UV protection on my hair as well, it’s more hydrated, healthy and shiny. Even my hairdresser encouraged this routine and was very proud of me understanding the importance of protecting my hair during summer.
As summer is approaching quickly (not so quick in Scotland!), I want to share my favourites that I have been using during summer for two years.
First, Shampoo!

I can’t believe there is something like sunscreen for hair! No wonder my hair is so dry! Thank you for sharing
Lipstick Café
I am glad this was helpful! Whether you try the products I recommended or not, there are quite a few sunscreens for hair on the market so make sure you start using some during summer!

Did you really apply vinegar?
Lipstick Café
Yes, diluting vinegar with water and applying it on hair to make it shiny used to be a pretty common trick in the past. Problem is that it smells, which is why it’s better to use products like the Yves Rocher ones, which although contain vinegar, smell nicer!
