Does your hair lighten a lot in the sun? Does your hair color fade faster than you would like it to? You can prevent photobleaching. The sun has a strong effect on the lifespan of your hair color. You don’t have to be out tanning or hanging out at the beach. Just going about your day to day, even if it’s cloudy exposes your hair to enough  UV rays to alter your hair color.

What is Photo-bleaching? How can we prevent it?

Photo-bleaching, or fading, is the photo-chemical alteration of a dye or a Fluorophore molecule. It becomes permanently is unable to fluoresce. That’s a fancy way of saying UV rays destroy color molecules over time. It affects both the natural color in your hair and artificial color that we put in. It’s a slow process, but you can really see the difference in how the top layer of your hair fades versus the underneath. All hair is susceptible, but some peoples hair is more so because of certain genetic factors.

We all know to wear sunscreen to protect our skin, but often we forget about our hair. A hat is a great help when your enjoying outdoor activities. The ends are still exposed, but at least the top gets covered up. When a hat isn’t an option, and to protect the hair that’s not covered up, we suggest a UV protecting spray.
