Fortunately, there are several ways that you can help keep your hair healthy and protected from sun damage. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Wear a hat or scarf when outdoors.

Consider wearing a wide-brimmed hat or head scarf to cover your entire head and face when you are spending extended periods of time outdoors.<\/li>\n<li>Use hair products with SPF protection.

Regularly deep conditioning your hair will help keep it healthy and hydrated, which can also help protect it from the sun.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid heat styling.
