How to Protect Your Hair from Sun and Heat Damage This Spring
I don’t know how things are where you are, but I feel like the sun is just a distant memory. Sigh. Has there been a rainier spring? Still, I’m hopeful that this post will be relevant in the near future. We always remember to slather on the SPF for our face, but our poor hair? It’s out there battling the same harsh sun and heat day after day. The sun’s rays, especially those pesky UV rays, can lead to dryness, split ends, and serious breakage. And let’s not even talk about a sunburned scalp! That’s why I put together this list on how to protect your hair from sun and heat damage this spring. I care about your hair, and I am choosing to believe the sun will reappear soon!
Sun Bum Revitalizing 3 in 1 Leave-In Conditioner Spray
This is one of those all-in-one wonders. It’s a leave-in conditioner, detangler, and heat shield all in one spray. It’s also got built-in UV protection to guard your hair against UV rays and sun damage. Spritz this on before heading outside—it helps keep hair soft and manageable even when you’ve been in the sun all day. It smells beachy too, which is always a bonus.
Aveda Sun Care Protective Hair Veil
This spray creates an invisible protective barrier that shields your strands from sun exposure for up to 16 hours. It’s loaded with good-for-you ingredients like vitamin E, green tea extract, and organic shea butter, which help combat UV damage while keeping your hair hydrated. Perfect for color-treated or dry hair that needs a little extra love.
Pantene Miracle Rescue Deep Conditioner
If your hair has already taken a beating from heat styling and sun, this deep conditioner is here to help. The Pro-V Pearls melt into your strands to help restore moisture and smooth out rough hair texture. Once summer gets going in full force, you’re gonna want to use these things once a week as part of your beauty routine.
SheaMoisture Intensive Hydration Hair Masque
This hydrating mask has a TON of great reviews. It’s rich and thick, and infused with manuka honey and mafuta oil – perfect for replenishing your hair’s natural moisture after too much sun exposure. It’s also a great fix if you’re dealing with sun-damaged hair and need to reduce frizz and strengthen weak ends.
Arvazallia Hydrating Argan Oil Hair Mask
This one’s another fan favorite with thousands of rave reviews. The argan oil works like magic to restore softness and shine. It’s ideal for all hair types, from curly to straight, and especially helpful for repairing breakage and dryness. If your hair feels brittle or has lost its bounce, this mask should go a long way toward bringing it back to life.
Creme of Nature Intensive Conditioning Treatment
What IS Argan Oil? I’m so glad you asked. Argan oil is a natural oil that comes from the kernels of the argan tree, which grows mainly in Morocco. It’s sometimes called “liquid gold” because it’s packed with nutrients and has so many uses! When your strands need a boost of protein and hydration, this is the treatment to grab. It helps prevent split ends and keeps your hair manageable. Plus, it’s budget-friendly and smells amazing.
VITAMINS Keratin Hair Mask
This deep conditioner is packed with keratin, collagen, and castor oil to help rebuild and protect your hair strands. It’s especially great if you’ve been hitting the blow dryer or flat iron a little too much lately. If your hair feels weak or damaged from a combo of heat styling and sun, this one will help restore strength and shine.
OUAI Leave-In Conditioner and Heat Protectant Spray
This lightweight spray is a multitasking queen. It detangles, adds shine, and protects your hair from heat and UV radiation. Toss this in your beach bag for a midday refresh. It will keep your ends from drying out and help reduce friction when brushing or styling.
FURTALK Wide-Brimmed Straw Hat
Sometimes, the best sun protection is just good old-fashioned shade. A wide-brimmed hat not only protects your scalp from sunburn but also shields your face and neck. This one is foldable, breathable, and rated UPF 80+, which means it blocks both UVA and UVB rays. I keep mine by the door and throw it on for any sunny outing—it’s cute and smart.

🙂 I bought a hat for the summer very much like the one in this blog…I buy one every year then frequently seem not to use it. They seem to feel to warm to me.
