How to Revive Sun-Damaged Hair

The sun is beautiful, but it can cause serious damage to your hair, if the follicle is left unprotected. Luckily, you can reduce the sun's effects and temporarily revive damaged hair.

Things You'll Need

• Soothing mint oil conditioner Conditioner for your hair color Leave-in conditioner with UV protection Measuring cup (with measurements up to at least 1 cup clearly marked)

Instructions

1. Take inventory of the damage. If the damage seems to be too big a job for you to handle yourself, seek professional help. If the hair seems like it just needs a revival, start this process. Completely drench hair in warm water and gently towel dry.

2. Measure 1/4 cup of the mint oil conditioner and 1/4 cup of the color conditioner and mix evenly.

3. Apply and rub through your hair, paying special attention to the ends. Mint oil promotes follicle healing while it soothes the scalp.

4. After five minutes, rinse thoroughly in lukewarm water. Blast with cold water for the final ten seconds to revive shine.

5. Finally, apply a leave-in conditioner with UV protection to shield your hair from further damage.
