Do You Protect Your HAIR From The Sun?

Poll posted by BR Natalie

Sun fact: New Zealand has severe levels of UV radiation, with some parts of the country needing daily protection, even in Winter.  Yes, if you're a regular around here you'll know we are a stickler for using SPF.  And any chance we get we will unashamedly lecture you on the importance of sun protection.  DAILY sun protection if you please.

But did you ever think about your hair?  How do the sun's harmful rays impact your barnet's lush-ability? 

We're glad you asked!

Sun damaged hair is dull, frizzy and weak which makes it appear unhealthy and neglected.  Add to the mix other Summer things like chlorine and salt water and your hair is in for a dehydration and dryness.  And this unholy trinity of sun, chlorine and salt water can also cause your colour to fade and lose its shine more quickly.  

Now the obvious thing to do is slather your hair in sun screen.  KIDDING!  Although you should wear a sunhat when you're out and about in the sunshine.   But what about the existing damage?  What can we do to specifically target sun damaged hair?

We're putting the brand new Schwarzkopf Extra Care Sun Repair range to the test. This new innovation in hair care contains Monoi-Flower extract to repair damages caused by sun rays, chlorine and salt water and UVA/UVB filters which protect the hair and prevent it from drying out.

The members of this trial team will each review three products:

  • Extra Care Sun Repair Shampoo
  • Extra Care Sun Repair Conditioner 
  • Extra Care Sun Repair Leave-In Conditioner Spray

We're especially excited by the Leave-In Conditioner Spray - it's like an express conditioning treatment you can throw in the beach bag and use to instantly combat sun, chlorine and salt water damage!

So, over to you - do you consciously think of protecting your hair from the sun?  Is your hair dry, frizzy and weak?  Were you aware the sun might be causing this damage, or did you never really link the two?  Would you like to join this trial team?

Get chatting below, and you could find yourself with three new products to review!

Aha Ermm well I'm kind of a tad naughty here or should I say hair? LOL I really should think about the effects of Sun Damage on my hair / head...But really haven't done much of that. I have very long curly hair & often have it out over the weekend on nice days but tied in a bun for work during the week. As there is so much of it, it's not really the easiest to tame & can often be defiant with frizz (due to humidity). I'm not your wear a cap, scarf or hat kinda girl tbh...I'd love to try Schwarzkopf Extra Care Sun Repair on my hair.

I would love to try this. I have dry hair anyway and always have trouble trying to keep it looking lovely and soft.

Ekk I am diligent about sunscreen on my skin but not my hair, and I don't often wear a hat for sun protection. I tend to have naturally straight hair but I do get frizzy fly aways. I've never really thought about the sun and the condition of my hair - but certainly would make sense! Would love to be on this trial team to see if I notice a difference in my crop condition.

I didn't even know this was a thing! Absolutely makes sense, although to be honest I'm a little bit sceptical about this! I have very dry and damaged coloured hair, and a lot of products like these say they will work wonders but I never see the proof in the pudding - although they do smell amazing!

Actually NO, I haven't ever thought about my hair needing sun protection. I do wear hats so presume that it protects the face, but yes my hair is dry which I thought was due to age!

The Extra Care Sun Repair Leave-In Conditioner Spray sounds fabulous and just may help keep my hair shiny and fresh looking as it tends to be rather dull & lank!

I'd love to try these hair products especially when I have a wedding coming up and need to look fab.

I would love to join this trial team - my hair is very coloured and this looks great for trying to protect it from the change in tone I always get through sun exposure! :o)

At the moment I use a Dove serum every so often, but I have never thought about this product or any other product providing my hair with sun protection. What I do know is that my scalp can burn so I'm conscious to not have a visible part in my hair if I'm going to be in the sun for long periods of time - but that's it! And that's not providing any extra care to my hair. I'd love to try these 3 products together to see if they can make a visible impact on my hair - usually I end up using different brands at the same time for my hair care, so I'd love to try a whole system at once.

I do a lot of hair masks and oil treatments for my hair but to be honest I have never seen a product with spf for hair. Well I have never looked for it so may be that's why. Would be nice to give this a go and see how it works on my long tresses

Nope, never think of protecting my hair from the sun! Dry, frizzy, blonde hair, plus I swim a lot in chlorine and the sea during summer. This looks like it would be ideal for my hair.

My hair is so dry and untameable during summer, I have always put it down to the humidity. I have sensitive skin and would be very interested to see if this product is suitable for my scalp without causing any issues. I'm would love to trial this product but if I am not I will definitely be reading the reviews to see if it would help tame wild hair in summer and prevent sun damage.
