Sunscreen is no doubt one of the most important products we need to protect our skin from the harsh rays of the sun. But how about your hair? Using sun protection on your scalp and hair is just as vital as putting it on your skin. Spraying sunblock on your hairline and parting before heading outside can help protect your scalp from damage.
What if you are planning to purchase human hair extensions? How does sunscreen affect them? Here's what you need to know.
Blonde hair extensions can change to strange colours like peach or salmon because of some ingredients in sunscreen, such as avobenzone and octocrylene. While these ingredients are effective at blocking UVA rays, they can react with each other and stain your hair. This damage can be quite significant, so it's critical to stop it before it happens.
What can you do to prevent this from happening? First, avoid using sunscreen that contains avobenzone and octocrylene. Mineral sunscreens with titanium dioxide or zinc oxide are less likely to harm your Remy hair extensions than chemical sunscreens.
Proper care and maintenance is also critical. To keep your Remy hair extensions safe from sunscreen damage, wash and condition them gently. It's also important to protect your extensions by either covering them with a scarf or hat or by using aftercare products with SPF protection.
