Bangalore, April 14, 2018: Just as the sun damages your skin, it can damage your hair, too. Saltwater and chlorine also take a toll on our tresses. The not-so-pretty outcome: A few weeks into summer, hair that was shiny and easily managed looks and feels fried.
The ultraviolet rays of the sun actually “cook the hair shaft.” The damage is most obvious when we see color-treated hair becoming faded, bleached, and brassy.
Even hair that isn’t colored will suffer from sun-induced stress. Those UV rays dry out hair and rough up the normally smooth cuticle, or outer layer, of the hair shaft.
Frizz Factor
The dryer hair is, the more likely it is to suffer from a summer malady that’s even more irksome than mosquito bites: frizz.
That’s because parched hair soaks up the extra humidity in the air, causing the shaft to swell and leading to breaks in the cuticle. Hair puffs up and goes every which way but smooth.
Swimming Damage
Swimming beats up your hair, too. Take a plunge in a pool and while you’re doing the breaststroke, chlorine is stripping your hair of its natural protective oils.
A dip in the ocean stresses hair in another way. The heavy salt content in seawater draws water out of your hair and skin,. We end up with prune-y fingers and parched hair.
