Although sun-bleached, frazzled hair is still regarded by many as the ultimate banner ad for fun in the sun, it is definitely not a healthy look. If you've been hanging in the sun, you may have some new sun-related damage to your hair. If your hair looks faded or feels dry and scrunchy, don't despair, there are tricks that can help you easily recover from your hair problems.

Dry & Damaged Locks
While it is always best to protect your hair by applying sprays or gels containing sun protection during the day, be sure to replenish moisture with extra-nourishing shampoo and conditioners created for sun parched hair.

Saturate your hair with a product line designed to help your hair recover from sun and surf dryness. Or dig out your favorite deep conditioning treatment for instant moisture replenishment and sun damage reversal. Don't forget to use a moisturizing shampoo and always finish with a cold water blast to lock in added moisture. Although you should always shampoo out pool or similar chemicals from your hair as soon as possible, when you are not exposed to contaminants, consider giving your hair a rest from a daily shampoo schedule.

Fading Hair Color
Nothing will strip your beautiful hair color faster than sun, sand, salt and pool chemicals. It is a known fact that the UV rays from the sun can fade or alter the color of both natural and treated hair. Redheads will find themselves fading the fastest. While it is always best to take preventive action, there are ways to bring back your sparkle. You can use some of the fabulous color enhancing shampoos currently on the market.

Split Ends
Whether you have been having too much fun to stop and focus on your ends or you haven't had time to zip by and see your stylist, make sure that you keep the splittage down to a mild case. Although you can't glue a split end back together, you can use a good leave-in conditioner to help the ends from splitting further.

Although prevention is always the best medicine, never fear, there is always ways to repair the damage so that your hair lives for yet another day.
