Summer comes with many plans waiting for you. After 2 years of the pandemic, your heart must be throbbing when you see the first rays of the summer sun visit. But be wary because the sun can be harsh on your hair if you spend too long outdoors. Sunburnt, dry hair after the holiday is something that no one wants, right? Don’t worry, let’s learn with Omnia how to protect and rescue sunburned hair effectively.
What is sunburned hair?
Surely in your childhood memories, there is always an image of your neighbor running away to play soccer at noon, or skip a sleep to go play around the neighborhood. Their hair is always a blond-brown color, standing up and always messy which look very funny. Growing up a little, when you know how to take care of yourself more, you know that hair is called sunburned hair, the result of too much sun exposure, causing the hair to become discolored and dry.
The hair is sunburned when the hair is exposed for a long time directly to the UVA and UVB rays present in the photo of the sun. Over time, the cuticle that protects the hair fiber gradually weakens and peels off. While UVB rays destroy the keratin layer on the hair surface, making hair thin and split ends, UVA rays have the opportunity to penetrate deep into the structure of the hair shaft, changing the pigmentation of the hair shaft, causing the hair color to fade. That’s why the natural hair color changes by the impact of sunlight. In addition, sunlight also has a bad effect on the scalp, causing the scalp to dry quickly, leaving a layer of dead skin (dandruff). Working in the sun for a long time can cause burns to the scalp and a number of other diseases.
What are the signs to recognize when the hair is sunburned?
The hair is gradually fading
If your hair has a natural black color, the first sign to recognize when your hair is sunburned is the hair is discolored, lighter in color, the hair changes to light brown or blond in some places. The “naturally dyed” hair is quite “stylish” as a result of the impact of the sun.
Hair is dry, tangled, split ends
Hair that is frizzy or split ends can be caused by many different things. But if you have just experienced a beach trip or a long trip exposed to the sun without taking measures to protect your hair, then your hair is also very susceptible to lack of nutrition, leading to split ends. For sunburnt hair, when you hold the curls and look at the ends of the hair, you will see split ends , pull the hair to test and it will lose its elasticity and may break immediately.
Hair has a “sunshine smell”
This is most evident when the hair has a high degree of sunburn, which means the hair seems to have been exposed for too long outdoors. Sunburnt hair has a burning smell, the more dry the hair, the stronger the smell of the hair. Mothers used to say that their hair smelled of burning sun because of that.
Hair loses its natural shine
A healthy hair is hair with a light natural shine. That’s because the cuticle on the hair is well-nourished, the hair is well-hydrated, the skin is oily, and the roots are healthy. When the hair loses its shine, instead of a dry surface, when you swipe back, you will hear a rustling sound, the feeling of touching the hair feels rough. At that time, your hair is dehydrated and lacks nutrition.
How to rescue sunburned hair effectively.
If your hair shows signs of sunburn or when you are forced to be outdoors for a long time, protect your hair as much as possible by wearing a hat, scarf… to avoid direct sunlight on your hair.
Try using sunscreen products for hair such as hairspray, hair conditioner, before going outdoors, especially when swimming or going to the beach. The nutrients will prevent the hair from losing water, while moisturizing the oily skin, limiting the dryness of the scalp, and protecting the hair cuticle.
Do not use shampoos with sulfates. Sulfate is found in hair shampoos and conditioners with the main effect of creating a foam to remove dirt easily, gently exfoliating but it can make hair become drier, especially aggravate the condition of sunburned hair.
