Great tips! :up: I keep forgetting to do one of the last tips - wearing a hat (or scarf) when stepping out in the sun. I lined one of my big, floppy hats I bought at the Gap with satin fabric but I keep forgetting to take it with me.

why do you need to cover your hair when you're out in the sun?

I've heard that the sun's UV rays have an oxidizing effect on your hair. Meaning that they essentially break down (bleach) your hair color and effect the inner protein structure. Ever noticed your hair reddening in the summer? Especially near the ends? The sun is very powerful. Thats why its great to use hair products (and skin ones too) with sunscreens in them.:)

Two quick things... well... three... Macherieamour I love your hair.

I used to find that soaking a towel in hot water and wringing it out to put on my hair was problematic. Number One, it was HEAVY. Two, I didn't like wringing out a HOT towel. Three, I could never wring it out well enough, so it would drip, drip, drip.

So... I find that if I take one of those Turbie-Twists (3 for $10), wet it and wring it out, then pop it in the microwave (in a bowl), it's much lighter than a regular towel, I don't have to wring it out and it doesn't drip! (Turbie-Twists are those towel-like turbans that are designed to actually stay on your head!).

Second thing... if you are having breakage at the nape of your neck... check your jewelry! Necklaces can often get caught up in the hair there and pull it out. It may start out as a few strands, but over time they add up!

This is what I do...I found mine at the Dollar store. The only downside is that the towel is super hot at first...Ouch!
