Hair protector for sun, a type of sunscreen designed specifically for hair, shields hair from the damaging effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
Prolonged sun exposure can lead to hair damage, dryness, and color fading. Hair protectors for sun offer protection against these harmful effects and are often formulated with additional ingredients to nourish and condition hair. A key historical development in hair protection was the discovery of the effectiveness of certain plant extracts, such as sunflower seed oil and green tea extract, in protecting hair from UV damage.
