Sunscreen for your Hair

While I'm in the hot summer heat in Italy, and sunscreen is top of my mind, it might not be for you, as you head into Fall weather. But UV rays will damage your hair year-round unless we protect it with sunscreen. When we think about sunscreen, most of us immediately think of protecting our skin from harmful UV rays. But did you know that your hair and scalp are just as vulnerable to sun damage?

Why Your Hair Needs Sun Protection

• UV Damage to Hair Structure: The sun’s rays can break down the hair’s protein structure, leading to weakened strands that are more prone to breakage.

• Dryness and Frizziness: UV exposure can strip your hair of its natural moisture, making it dry, frizzy, and unmanageable.

• Color Fading: For those with colored or treated hair, the sun can accelerate color fading, leaving hair dull and lifeless. Those natural highlights you get in the summer, are actually your hair being damaged.

• Scalp Health: The scalp can burn just like your skin, leading to discomfort, peeling, and long-term damage if left unprotected.

How Monat Helps

Monat has an ingredient Crodasorb that is in several of our products and helps block UV rays.

This is my daily routine that helps prevent breakage, makes your hair stronger and shinier, and has the added benefit of using 2 of our products with Crodasorb.

The Science Behind Crodasorb

• Advanced UV Absorber: Crodasorb technology absorbs UV radiation, protecting the hair’s protein structure, and preventing keratin breakdown.

• Maintains Hair Integrity: By protecting the hair shaft from UV damage, Crodasorb helps to reduce brittleness and preserve the hair's natural luster.

• Ideal for Outdoor Enthusiasts: Particularly beneficial for those who spend a lot of time outdoors or live in sunny climates, ensuring hair remains strong and shiny.

If you haven't added sunscreen to your daily hair routine, do it!
