Long, sunny days are a hallmark of summertime, but that glorious sunshine can wreak havoc on your hair. From fading color to brittle strands, the sun doesn't spare your locks. 

But don't fret - with a bit of preparation and care, you can protect your hair from the sun and keep it healthy and radiant all summer long. 

 1. Cover Up: A hat or scarf can be a simple and stylish way to protect your hair from UV rays.

 2. Condition, Condition, Condition: Moisturizing your hair is key to preventing brittleness and breakage caused by sun damage. Apply a leave-in conditioner or hair oil to your hair before sun exposure. 

 3. Avoid Heat: Reducing heat styling during the summer months can help prevent further damage to your already vulnerable hair. 

 4. Use SPF: Just like you would routinely apply sunscreen to protect your skin, use hair products with SPF, like a UV spray, to protect your hair from harmful radiation. 

 5. Stay Hydrated: Drinking water and keeping your body hydrated can also help keep your hair strong and healthy. 

 By following these simple steps, you can shield your strands from the sun and avoid damage and discoloration. With the proper care, your hair can remain vibrant and healthy all season long.
