sun + salt water

+ Sunscreens and self tanners have been known to discolor extensions, especially blondes. Some of the ingredients listed below can discolor the extension hair.

+ Avebenzone (Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane) which is an oil-soluble ingredient used in sunscreen products to absorb the full spectrum of UVA rays.

+ Octocrylene, which is added as a stabiliser as the Avebenzone degrades in light. Together they are found in differing quantities in sun protections.

When the sunscreen is absorbed into the hair and exposed to the UV light, it causes the cells to break down in a process known as Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). The cells break down and seek out electron particles to form a new cell structure. When the hair is rinsed in water, from showers and pools, then the electron particles in the minerals in the water such as Iron, Copper, Magnesium, Calcium and Silica, attach to the hair cells creating a reaction. We suggest using a sunscreen that is free from the ingredients listed above.

+ Saltwater as well as any chlorinated pool water can also wear down the hair quicker and create dry, tangly hair.

+ We highly recommend wearing the hair up and avoid chlorine and saltwater.

+ Dampening the hair and applying a conditioner or moisture cream to the hair will also help block out any chlorine or salt water from penetrating the hair.
