Too much sun can make your hair brittle like a dry mop, resulting in brittle hair with split ends. This is especially true for those with blonde or grey hair, and if you already have thinning hair you are more likely to burn your scalp.
How you can prevent sun damage to your scalp.
Being proactive and choosing hair care products with sunscreen provides some protection, but it can be difficult to distribute it evenly on your hair. So it's a good idea to wear a hat when you're out in the sun - especially if your scalp is exposed. Choose a hat made of sun-protective fabric with UPF 30 (ultraviolet protection factor).
Getting sun damage, i.e. burns on the scalp, affects how your scalp feels and can eventually impair your hair growth. A major burn can create scar tissue on the scalp and then hair growth can stop completely. Therefore, take care of your scalp in the sun because it gets a lot of sun on it.
