To protect against the sun cover up with a hat or scarf. A leave in conditioner spritzed into your hair before covering up helps to repair damage and leave your hair soft and shiny.

Don't believe the old wives tale that rinsing your hair in cold water restores your hairs shine. Instead use a deep conditioning treatment once a week and rinse with cold water to bring back your hairs shine.
