Summer UV rays and scalp damage | Head spa treatments to prevent thinning hair, gray hair, and scalp problems

Three major effects of UV rays on the scalp

1. Accelerates hair root aging: UV rays penetrate deep into the scalp and destroy collagen and elastin. This accelerates the aging of hair root cells, causing hair to thin and fall out.

2. Increased dryness, itchiness, and dandruff Strong summer sunlight robs the scalp of moisture and weakens its barrier function, making it more susceptible to itching, dandruff, and inflammation.

3. Damage to hair : Damage to the cuticle causes dryness, split ends, breakage, and color fading. Colored or permed hair is particularly susceptible to this.
