Meaning ❉ Plant-Based UV Protection refers to the thoughtful application of botanical extracts and oils, rich in natural compounds like polyphenols and carotenoids, designed to shield delicate textured hair from solar radiation. For Black and mixed hair, often prone to moisture loss and color shift under sun exposure, this external care supports the hair’s intrinsic vitality and pigment stability. Understanding these protective botanicals enables a systematic integration into one’s hair care rhythm, establishing a reliable defense mechanism akin to an automatic guard. Applying products with ingredients such as red raspberry seed oil, carrot seed oil, or green tea extract before sun exposure becomes a foundational practice, safeguarding protein structures and supporting length retention, thereby honoring the hair’s natural resilience.
