When the sun’s out it’s easy to remember to protect your skin with sunscreen, but did you know that your hair and scalp need extra protection, too?
Whilst sunshine might be good for the soul, there's no denying that it’s less good for your hair.
Sun exposure can discolour your hair, make strands dry and brittle and cause broken or split ends, thinning and frizz.
That’s because UV rays damage and raise the hair’s protective outside layer, or cuticle, making it less able to retain moisture and far more vulnerable to damage.
Any damage can be exacerbated by swimming and sweating, too. Salt water and chlorine strip away natural oils and leave hair dry, rough and damaged, whilst the high sodium content in sweat does exactly the same.
BUT there is some good news...
And it's this: the sun’s heat can help your hair absorb the very ingredients needed to repair and keep it feeling and looking beautiful.
If you want longer, softer, fuller, healthier hair our experts recommend Root to Tip Hair Improver with silk protein, hyaluronic and caffeine.

- Leave and let it work its magic – the sun’s rays will activate the silk protein
- Shampoo and condition when you’re ready – even if that is a day or so later
- Reapply after swimming (rinse hair in fresh water first)
You can also apply Root to Tip to wet hair after showering and before going out, use it in place of your regular conditioner or apply before bed and sleep on it; it won’t stain your pillow.
Top tip!
Rinsing your hair in cool or cold fresh water also help flatten raised cuticles and wearing a hat will provide some UV protection.
