SAN ANTONIO - When hair is exposed to uva and uvb rays for an extended period it can be very damaging to your hair. If your hair has been comprised from any other sources this makes the uva damage even more drying to the hair. All this exposure leaves your hair dry, brittle, lifeless, dull, and hard to manage. There is help today we have shampoos, conditioners, and leave in conditioners that all have sun protection from both uva and uvb rays.

Treat your hair before you go out into the sun with a leave in protection spray like LAK-2 by lakme this product has a great smell and offers great protection. Wella, Aquage, and many other professional products carry extra protection for you. (feel free to e-mail me on some over the counter products to try)

If you are crafty try mixing 2 teaspoon of 25SPF sun block with one cup of water mix into a spray bottle and mist on your hair throughout the day as you are exposed to the sun.

Don’t forget to also protect your skin and enjoy your time outdoors!
