How the sun can affect hair in summer

Ultraviolet – it is one of the most dangerous environmental factors affecting human skin and hair. In the summer, the sun's rays become especially aggressive and can destroy the hair structure. In the normal state, the scales of the outer layer of the hair are held together by disulfide bonds, which the sun's rays can oxidize. Ultraviolet separates the molecules of sulfur and hydrogen, so the attachment of the scales is broken and the hair becomes dull, brittle and vulnerable to any influences in the summer. In addition, the sun's rays evaporate water molecules, as a result of which the elasticity of the hair is lost.

Natural hair protection mechanisms in summer

The main function of hair is to protect the scalp from the negative effects of damaging environmental factors, including ultraviolet rays. Hair, like other structures of the body, has its own natural defense mechanisms, which are especially active in summer. The melanin pigment contained in the hair not only colors it one way or another, but also has the property of partially absorbing sunlight. However, melanin is located in the deep layer of the hair – cortical, and its cuticle remains defenseless, which is why hair burns out so easily in summer.

Features of hair care in summer: what to remind patients of

Almost everyone knows that in the summer it is important to wear hats that protect the scalp and hair from the sun. But here is what else it is important for patients to know about hair care in summer:
