Meaning ❉ Sun Protection Oils represent a thoughtful addition to the care system for textured hair, particularly for Black and mixed-race strands. These specialized oils, often botanical in origin, are chosen for their capacity to form a delicate veil over the hair cuticle, helping to lessen the impact of environmental stressors like ultraviolet radiation. Understanding that textured hair, with its unique coil patterns and melanin distribution, can be more susceptible to dryness and degradation from sun exposure, these oils become a practical tool. Their consistent use within a structured hair regimen aids in preserving moisture, maintaining elasticity, and guarding against the fading of natural or color-treated hues. Application involves gently working a small amount through damp or dry hair before sun exposure, creating a gentle, protective barrier that supports the hair’s inherent strength and vibrancy, much like a comforting whisper to each strand.
