Tie your hair up in a bun, braid, or ponytail to minimise direct sun exposure. Protective hairstyles not only shield your hair from UV rays but also help prevent tangles and breakage caused by wind and friction.

Steer clear of using dryers and straighteners. Since the hair has already been exposed to UV light, heat produced by the hair styling tools will only suck more moisture out of it.
