If you enjoy spending time on the beach, you should remember to protect your hair. We all know that sun can damage our skin, cause early wrinkles, premature aging and even skin cancer. Well, sun is as harmful to your hair as it is to your skin.

Sun can damage your hair, especially if it’s colored. It dries out your hair and it can change its structure. After long sun exposure, hair becomes rough and dull and it’s not shiny like it used to be. Even though some women like it when the sun makes their hair lighter, if your hair is colored you should be very careful.

Fortunately, there are many products you can use for sun damage prevention. Here’s a list of 5 of the best products for protecting your hair from sun damage.
