“The sun wreaks havoc on your locks, dehydrating the cuticle, making you appear drab and frizzy and acting as a catalyst for split ends,” says celebrity hairdresser Alan Coban.
“Just like your skin, your hair needs to be protected. UV inhibitors create an essential barrier over the hair’s cuticle, protecting your strands from sun damage.”
