11 After-Sun Hair Treatments To Bring Your Locks Back To Life This Summer

Because your hair deserves a little TLC

by Jenna Igneri

Too much sun exposure is never a good thing, and this goes for your hair as much as it does for your skin. While we should always be putting on a hat when we go outside, sometimes it’s just not feasible. The sun’s dangerous UVA and UVB rays can damage the hair’s cuticle, leaving your once-lustrous locks dry, brittle, frizzy, and discolored—never a good look.

Just like we take a little extra care of our skin after a day out in the sun, whether via soothing moisturizer or an aloe treatment, it’s crucial to give our hair some extra TLC post beach or pool too. Whether it’s a conditioner, a mask, or a leave-in spray, there are tons of products specifically created to fight against the effects of sun damage, leaving your hair nourished, moisturized, and frizz-free. We rounded up the 11 best to help keep your hair strong and healthy all summer long.
