Hair care before, during and after sun exposure

Hair care is essential for maintaining healthy, strong and shiny hair, especially when exposed to the sun. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation can cause significant damage to the hair, affecting both its appearance and structural health. Below, we look at the importance of hair care in three key stages: before, during and after sun exposure, so you can bear this in mind this summer.

Hair care – Before sun exposure

• Deep Hydration:
  • Moisturising Masks: Apply a moisturising mask or deep conditioner at least once a week. This helps maintain hydration and prepares your hair for sun exposure.
  • Natural Oils: Use oils such as coconut, argan or jojoba to nourish and strengthen your hair.
• UV Protection:
  • UV Protection Products: Use sprays, serums or creams containing UV filters to protect your hair from sun damage.
  • Accessories: Consider wearing hats, scarves or caps to protect your hair from direct sunlight.

Hair Care - During Sun Exposure

• Continuous Hydration:
  • Moisturising Sprays: Carry a moisturising spray or thermal water with you to apply to your hair throughout the day. This will help maintain moisture and refresh your scalp.
• Protective Products:
  • Leave-in Conditioners: Use leave-in conditioners containing UV protection to keep your hair protected and soft whilst out in the sun.
• Protective Hairstyles:
  • Braids or Buns: Tie your hair back in braids or buns to reduce direct exposure to the sun and prevent damage from friction and tangles.

Hair Care – After Sun Exposure

• Gentle Cleansing:
  • Moisturising Shampoo: Use a moisturising, gentle shampoo to wash your hair, removing product build-up and sweat without stripping away natural oils.
  • Deep Conditioner: Apply a deep conditioner to restore lost moisture and repair any damage.
• Repair Treatments:
  • Nourishing Masks: Use hair masks rich in nutrients such as keratin, proteins and essential oils to repair sun damage and strengthen the hair.
• Repairing Serums: Apply serums or leave-in treatments containing repairing and protective ingredients. In this case, we recommend our SCALP REVIVAL hair serum , an exclusive night-time treatment for the scalp, designed to strengthen and activate hair follicles from the root, stimulating the hair growth cycle. Suitable for weak hair to maintain scalp health.
• • Helps reduce hair loss
  • Supports hair growth
  • Improves hair density
• Avoid Heat:
  • Minimise the use of heat styling tools: such as hairdryers, straighteners and curling irons. Let your hair air-dry whenever possible to prevent further damage.
  • Heat protection products: If you need to use heat styling tools, make sure you apply a heat protectant first.

Collagen as a preventative measure

Taking liquid collagen to strengthen your hair is an excellent strategy to prepare it before sun exposure. Here is a guide on how to incorporate liquid collagen into your routine to optimise hair health and protect it against sun damage:

Benefits of collagen for hair

1. Strengthening: Collagen provides essential amino acids for keratin production, improving strength and reducing hair breakage.
2. Hydration: It helps maintain hydration in the scalp and hair, preventing dryness and brittleness that can be exacerbated by sun exposure.
3. Elasticity: It improves hair elasticity, making it less prone to breakage under stressful conditions such as sun, wind, and salt or chlorinated water.
4. Growth: By nourishing the hair follicles, it can promote healthier and faster hair growth.

• Frequency:
  Take our liquid collagen daily for best results. Consistency is key. For optimal and longer-lasting results, we recommend using it for 3 months.
• How to take it:
  You can take the collagen straight or mix it with water, juice, smoothies or other drinks. Our liquid collagen supplements have a delicious flavour and do not need to be mixed or diluted with other liquids. Free from sugars, artificial sweeteners and preservatives. Gluten-free, GMO-free and alcohol-free.
• When?:
  Start taking collagen at least one month before the peak sun exposure season so your hair has time to strengthen. Although if you can start earlier, your hair will look stronger and healthier. We recommend continuing this nutricosmetic treatment over time.

Incorporating liquid collagen into your hair care routine, alongside other protective measures, can effectively prepare your hair to face the challenges of the sun and keep it healthy all summer long. Why not try our GOLD COLLAGEN® HAIRLIFT?
