Summer is almost here, which is great news for joggers because they can get their exercise outdoors again. Summer is also wonderful for swimmers since they can hop out of the indoor pool and into the ocean. The hot season is a fun one for your topless rompers and your fabulous giant sun hat wearers as well. But the one thing summer isn’t so great for is your hair. There is a lot of information out there on how to take care of your skin in the sun, but people don’t talk enough about the beating your hair takes when ultraviolet rays are shining down on it all day. Your hair is fragile; if running a straightening iron over it for a few minutes a day can harm it then you better believe that exposing it to the sun for several hours a day, for several months on end, will do a number on it. Here are tips for taking care of your hair in the sun.

Add a scarf to your hat

On the inside—not the outside. Wearing a hat is a great way to protect the sun from drying out your hair, but some hats can pull at your hair, causing it to break. Wrap a thin scarf around your head before putting a hat over it, to protect your hair from damage.
