Just like our skin, UV rays can attack our hair and the hair will start to lose softness, shine and natural strength. The sun can also cause the colour of our hair to alter. Natural hair that has don been coloured becomes lighter and coloured hair can look dull and washed out. So what does this mean….well just like we protect our skin on holiday with sun block and protection. We should also start to look at ways to give our hair that extra protection.
