If your mane has been feeling thinner and frizzier than usual of late, blame it squarely on the sun. While studies have found that it’s natural to lose up to six per cent more hair when the sun comes out, the dryness caused by the heat and humidity can cause your strands to break, leading to your hair looking thinner than it really is.
Celebrity hair stylist Drishya Bhagyanath elaborates further: “The intense UV rays can damage the cuticles, or the outer layer of the hair strands. These damaged cuticles make your hair appear and feel drier. Hair also tends to absorb humidity from the air, making it look frizzy. Prolonged exposure to strong UV rays also leads to your hair colour becoming lighter.” She recommends tackling these by using products that help with frizz control and have added UV protection, which usually come in the form of serums or leave-in treatments. A weekly deep conditioning mask can also help to repair the damage, she adds. Additionally, wearing accessories such as caps and scarves can further help to check the damage, while upping your style game.
