Protect Your Hair and the Planet with Style: Summer Hair Accessories

During the summer, the sun, wind, and salt water can seriously damage your hair. Keeping it healthy and protected is crucial, especially if you spend a lot of time outdoors. The solution lies in choosing the best beach hair accessories that combine protection and style. Here's how to achieve this and why our "Hot Chili Pepper" and "Sun Day" caps are the ideal choice.

Solutions to Protect Your Hair in Summer

Sun Protection with Style

Our caps "Hot Chili Pepper" and "Sun Day" not only protect you from UV radiation, but also keep your scalp and hair hydrated and free from damage. They're made with breathable Coolmax technical fabric, ideal for hot summer days.

Hair Accessories on the Beach

In addition to our hats, consider other accessories like scrunchies, scarves, and headbands that can also protect your hair from the sun and wind. These accessories are not only practical but also add a touch of style to your summer look.

Care and Maintenance

Use hair care products that hydrate and repair your hair after sun exposure. Our genderless hair care line is designed to keep your hair healthy and strong all summer long.

Damage that the sun can cause to hair

Sun exposure can cause various types of damage to both the hair fiber and the scalp. These are some of the most common negative effects:

Damage to the hair fiber

• Dehydration : UV radiation from the sun can dehydrate hair, making it dry and brittle.
• Cuticle weakening : The cuticle, which is the hair's protective outer layer, can weaken due to prolonged sun exposure. This causes hair to lose shine and appear drier and frizzier.
• Color Loss : Sun exposure can break down hair pigments and cause color change and loss, resulting in that dull, lifeless look we all dislike. This is especially noticeable in dyed hair but is also visible in naturally colored hair.
• Breakage and split ends : Prolonged sun exposure can lead to breakage and split ends.
• Loss of elasticity : Hair exposed to the sun can lose its natural elasticity, making it more prone to breakage when styling or manipulating.

Damage to the scalp

• Sunburn : The scalp, especially in areas with less hair density, can become sunburned, causing redness, pain, and scaling.
• Dryness and irritation : Sun exposure can dry out the scalp, causing itching, irritation, and flaking.
• Increased risk of skin cancer : Prolonged unprotected sun exposure may increase the risk of developing skin cancer on the scalp.

Prevention and care

1. Use sun protection : Apply cosmetics with active ingredients that can minimize damage.
2. Moisturizing and antioxidant products : Using conditioners and masks with active ingredients that protect against UV radiation regularly can help maintain hair hydration.
3. Avoid prolonged exposure : Limiting sun exposure, especially during peak UV radiation hours, is another preventive and care measure.
4. Hats and caps : Wearing hats or caps can provide a physical barrier against UV rays.

Taking these preventative measures can help protect both your hair and scalp from the damaging effects of the sun.

Benefits of wearing a cap versus other sun protection methods such as cosmetics

Wearing a cap to protect your hair from the sun has several important benefits. Today we'll explain all the advantages of a cap over sunscreen.

• Great coverage . Provides complete physical protection for your scalp, hair, and even your face.
• Durability : Just as a cosmetic requires frequent application, the protection offered by a cap is constant and does not decrease with time, sweat, or water.
• Ease of use . A cap is easy to use, while a cosmetic takes time and can sometimes be cumbersome due to its texture or stickiness.
• For hair, minimalist formulas : Protecting your hair without products that can build up is best, as our mantra says, "for hair, few, high-quality products."
• Temperature control . A cap reduces scalp temperature and prevents sunburn and hair fiber damage. Cosmetics only protect against UV radiation but do not reduce scalp temperature.
• Environmental protection . A cap protects us from the wind and from particles it carries, such as sand, if we're at the beach.
• Unique and long-lasting . The cap is a one-time purchase and lasts, unlike cosmetics, which require repeated purchases to maintain protection.
