Best Hats for Hair Protection in the Sun

Hats are your go-to accessory for the summer.

By now, we all know of the damaging effects the sun has on our skin. We religiously slather SPF onto our skin and cover our bodies with the latest, trendy wrap to avoid the impact of the harmful rays on our skin. But one area that we are also keen to protect that gets forgotten is our hair. Too much sun can cause your cuticle (outer layer of the hair) to dry out, become brittle, spilt and weaken. Plus, if you color your hair or chemically straighten it, you may find that is particularly vulnerable in the summer. One way to protect your hair and your head is by wearing a hat. As a simple solution, there are tons of hats out there to fit your personal style and lifestyle needs. Read on to discover a few of our favorites for the ultimate in hair protection this summer.
