Sun Protection for Your Hair

It’s not exactly breaking news that your hair needs protection from the sun. What is new is Parsol SLX, an ingredient being introduced into hair-care products to fight damaging UV rays that can cause color to fade and strands to break. The ingredient’s creator, DSM Nutritional Products, claims Parsol SLX is more effective at preserving color than other UV filters on the market. Parsol SLX stands out from the pack because it’s silicone-based, which means it offers a unique combination of conditioning and UV protection. It will soon show up in more and more products, but right now you can find it in Alterna’s Hemp Straight Shampoo and Conditioner.
