Well, it’s been a long and dreary winter, and I think everybody is ready to finally see some sun. Sunshine means barbecues, outdoor sports, open windows, and general pleasantness. Unfortunately, for those of you who wear a custom hair system, it can mean damage and cause for repair. Here are some ways you can protect your hair from the harmful UV rays of the sun.

• Try spraying some leaven-in conditioner before you go out. This will help keep your hair from drying out and protect it from the sun.

• In between washes, it’s a good idea to use a little shine serum. Shine serum helps restore the sheen and moisture than sunlight diminishes.

• Speaking of washing, don’t wash your wig in extremely hot water. Keep the water temperature somewhere between room and lukewarm.

• When all else fails, the best way to keep the sun away from your hair system is to wear a hat or scarf. The good news with this option is hats and scarves not only protect your hair system, but they also look quite fashionable!
