While sunlight is a good source of Vitamin D, which is essential for hair growth, prolonged exposure to the sun's UV rays can be harmful to the scalp.
- Scalp sunburn: The scalp, especially in areas with thin hair or partings, is susceptible to sunburn, just like the skin on our bodies.
- Hair breakage: Sun's UV rays can weaken the hair's structural bonds, making it more prone to breakage and resulting in brittle hair.
- Protecting your scalp: Hats are the best way to protect your scalp from sun damage. However, if you don't want to wear a hat, there are scalp and hair sunscreens available.
It is essential to protect your scalp from the sun's harmful rays, just as you would protect your skin.
