Sun Protection

[Camille]

Ok here's one for you guys,

With spring here and summer right around the corner, it is important to keep our skin prtoected form the sun. I always use suncreen ranging between spf 30 - 45 and even have a face cream that is spf 4 in addition to a face stick that is spf 30 when I go to the beach.

So the question is, does your hair get left out of the mix?

What products can we use to protect our hair from the sun on those off times when our hair is free from the protective style? Any products with an spf? How about a little sunscreen on the hair?

Hi Camille

The Fantasia Leave-In Moisturizer hair and scalp treatment has sunscreen in it. I will definately be using this

Thanks for the response Seamist! Looks like that stuff is only 3.99 and you can never have too many leave-ins!

darn! Just when you think you're spending is done for the month...

The Pantene Leave in I use says it protects from drying effects of wind and sun...I hope that means it contains sunscreen

But sometimes I use Fantasia IC Polisher and it says that it contains protective sunscreens. Regardless of all of this, I still have to wear a scarf, or hat.

I use the Nexxus Headress Leave-In conditioner, it provides sun protection as well.

Jen-Jen, is that a creme or a spray?

I think hats are good for protecting the hair from the sun. Also Aveda has a spray that has stuff in it to protect it from the sun (spf? maybe i can't remember it was written on the big bottle-travel size doesn't have all the details) and it conditions, its called Brilliant Damage Control. I just bought a travel size today to see if I would like it. Hopefully it's a keeper.

Island Girl, Please keep me posted on this product; ihave such a beenie head, i get lost in hats, whatever the style!
It's like I have the shrunken head thang goin on!

It's a creme. I use it after washing and conditioning. It's the best leave-in detangler I've tried too!

This is the description on the bottle:
HEADRESS VOLUMIZING LEAVE-IN CONDITIONER is blended with Pathenol, Vegatable Ceramids and Keratin Amino Acids to add incredible body and lustre to any hair type. As a hairdress, the concentrated formula instantly releases tangles and increases combability to control styles. When used as a styling tool with thermal appliances HEADRESS protects hair from heat and dryness while adding fullness and shine. Time released Antioxidants, UVA and UVB Protectors guard against harsh environmental elements so hair continuously shines with radiant health.

Thanks JenJen for reminding me about this Leave In. I like it alot and remember how it volumizes. A little goes a long way. I'll remember to use it a bit more during the summer
