Best Hair Products for Heat & UV Protection

It’s officially festival season all around the world. From Coachella to Life is Beautiful, the sun is out and so is your mane. Whether you're in a temperate climate or in the desert heat, the sunny rays will surely be unforgiving whether you like it or not! Protect your hair from breakage and dryness by following a few of our product recommendations.

1) Alterna Haircare Beach Summer Sun Recovery Spray

This product works before and after sun exposure. Upon contact, it infuses hair follicles with moisture, detangles dried out locks, enhances your sheen, and protects from future exposure. Use the Sun Recovery Spray as a leave in conditioner before heading out to the intense heat of the beach or desert valley. Bonus: it's made without parabens or artificial color.

2) Drybar Hot Toddy Heat & UV Protectant

Not only is this scent refreshing, Drybar’s Hot Toddy hair lotion is perfect for protecting against styling tool heat AND sunny rays. Made with artichoke leaf extract, it’s a healthier choice to prevent breakage during styling and damaging dry temperatures. Hot Toddy is formulated without parabens, sulfates, or phthalates (pthalic acid).

3) Sun Bum 3 in 1 Leave in Hair Conditioning Treatment

Sun Bum makes a great line of gluten free and vegan sunscreen. So it’s no surprise that their hair care treatment is our fave. The Big Three: it protects against UV rays, detangles for styling, and conditions. By restoring moisture, your hair will feel more soft in the dry or humid heat. This product is made in the USA and infused with coconut oil, banana pulp/peel and leaf, quinoa protein and sunflower oil.

 4) Paul Mitchell Ultimate Color Repair Triple Rescue

The triple protection of Paul Mitchell’s Color Repair Triple Rescue is great for color treated hair. Infused with quinoa color repair complex, Triple Rescue prevents against thermal damage. In addition, it protects from color processing damage, heat from styling and sunlight, and unleashes luminosity while conditioning. This product works best on damp hair, washed or not.

5) Bumble & bumble Hairdresser's Invisible Oil

A perfect product for many hair types, B&B’s Invisible Oil is a pre-styling treatment that detangles, softens and moistens hair. While taming frizz and protecting against breakage, B&B’s Invisible Oil is made without parabens, phthalates, mineral oil or alcohol. Style on damp hair or as a leave-in conditioner.
