There's no denying that summer is a glorious time. However, as is the case with all good things, it comes with some serious drawbacks. We all know the havoc that the sun's harmful rays can yield on our skin, but your hair feels the burn as well, literally.

Soaring temperatures can result in drier, frizzier hair as well as color changes. According to hair expert and Curl Talk author Ouidad, "Women often do not realize how damaging the sun can be to their hair. UV exposure has a similar effect on hair as it does on skin."

Have no fear though, we've got expert tips and product picks!

Bonus Tips-
- Hair expert Ouidad strongly recommends keeping hair under wraps- either with a cute brimmed hat or fashionable light-weight scarf- with prolonged sun exposure.
- Hair dries out in the summer so be sure to have your hair trimmed every 6-8 weeks
- Take a break from the blowdryer and let hair dry naturally a few days per week to preserve moisture levels. For added smoothness and to control flyaways when air drying, use a lightweight leave-in conditioner.
