30 Fashionable Summer Hats to Protect Your Hair & Skin

Today I chose to talk about fashionable Summer hats. Why? Because yesterday I mentioned that wearing a hat is a great way to help maintain brightly-dyed hair and in reality, even if your hair isn’t dyed, the sun can cause some damage. We’ve known for years that the sun, while providing life giving nutrients and mood-boosting vitamin D, can also cause serious issues like skin cancer. I’m a firm believer that sunscreen is always needed, and I love that my foundation already includes it, but a good hat saves so much skin and hair as well.

What Sun Does to Your Hair

Every Summer the sun brings out some lovely sun-kissed highlights, but is that healthy for your hair? Both UVB and UVA rays from the sun can actually hurt the cuticle, or the outer cover of the hair strand, and cause damage to occur. You may see damage in discoloration, brittle and breaking hair, split ends, etc. Lots of not fun stuff can occur, and the sun can severely dry it out. The more time you spend in the sun, the more it is like you are bleaching your hair over and over.

There are a lot of things you can do to protect your hair from sun damage, but one of the simplest is just to put on a hat. So, as I said earlier in the post, I’ve gone through some of my favorite places to buy fashion-wear, and collected 30 of the best and most fashionable Summer hats that I think you’ll love. There’s something for everyone-different styles, colors, and mood outfits. I definitely need more fashionable Summer hats in my wardrobe, what about you?
