Sometimes we are so preoccupied with remembering to put SPF on our bodies that our hair falls victim to being an afterthought. Protecting your tresses is actually way easier than you think, and we recently got some tips and product recommendations from the Global Artistic Director of Hair Color at Aveda, Ian Michael Black.
Fashion Pulse Daily: There are some hair products out there with SPF in them; is this necessary to protect the locks?
Ian Michael Black: Yes! Hair is exposed to a bevy of environmental aggressors during the summer months – specifically sun, sand and chlorine. Just as you take care and protect your skin during the summer, or year round for that matter, the same rules apply to your hair.
FPD: How can the scalp be protected from the sun’s rays, without weighing down the hair with greasy product?
