UVA rays attack the surface of your hair, causing noticeable damage to hair strands and lead to:
Dryness and Brittleness: UVA exposure strips moisture from your hair, leaving it dry and more prone to breakage.
Split Ends and Frizz: Weakened strands result in split ends and difficult-to-manage texture.
Color Damage: Whether natural or dyed, UVA rays cause hair color to fade and lose its vibrancy, leaving it looking dull.
UVB rays penetrate deeper, affecting down to the hair follicle and causing:
Weakened Hair Structure: UVB rays destroy essential hair proteins, causing thinning, weakened strands, and increased breakage even before the hair fully gorws.
Hair Thinning and Loss: Prolonged UVB exposure attacks the roots, damaging follicles and can lead thinning and irreversible hair loss.
Scalp Health Risks: The scalp is the foundation of hair health. UVB rays dry it out, cause flaking, and increase the risk of severe sun damage. Alarmingly, 1 in 10 melanoma cases occur on the scalp.
