subject: How To Repair Sun-damaged Hair [print this page] . Hair that is over exposed to the sun becomes brittle and frizzy especially when there had been some use of peroxide-based hair products just before going out into the sun.
Many people who use such hair products are not even aware that even a small amount of it increases the risk of sun damage on hair. You can only counter this reaction with UV-resistant hairspray or even the hair conditioner.
Those who have already found themselves in this kind of state with hair that is completely damaged should not despair. There is still a chance for them to improve their appearance as they wait for new hair to grow. One way is to use protein base shampoos in washing hair and also applying daily conditioner that is of mint content or similar restorative nature.
Hot oil treatments can help to restore the hair but the ultimate healer is time. Time will repair the hair because sooner or later, the new hair will grow vibrant and healthy.
One should continue using the ultraviolet or UV resistant conditioners even as the hair continues to grow back; even if the initial reaction might be slow and seem like the battle has already been lost.
You see, the situation the hair gets to when extreme damage from the sun has occurred is really delicate and will definitely get much worse if nothing is done to try and prevent further damage from continuing.
Better ways of getting your hair to look good is by curling and this is able to give you a fresh attractive look.
Using low heat settings and smooth heat is good and you get this from ceramic curling iron. This protects the hair from further damage from the heat that comes through the curling process. Just one hour of this will make you have new waves or ringlets like curls that will enable you to look very good as if no hair was damaged.
