Sun & Heat Multi-Protector No.2 with Plex for natural hair

The sun's UVA and UVB rays cause the disulfide hair's bonds to break. These bonds are crucial for the structural integrity of the hair and are responsible for maintaining the keratin structure and fiber strength. This leads to hair damage and weakening.

Additionally, solar radiation contributes to color loss in both natural and dyed hair. Exposure to saltwater dehydrates and weakens the hair, while chlorine in pools damages the keratin fiber, strips away natural lipids, and affects hair color.

To address these issues, abril et nature has developed two advanced hair protection products: Hair Sunscreen Nature-Plex 1 and 2.

These products are based on a stabilized formula of UVA, UVB, and IR sun filters in an oil format, with exceptional tolerance for both skin and mucous membranes. Additionally, these products contain the Cysteine Bond Complex (the Plex), an innovative ingredient with an exclusive formula developed by abril et nature. This complex acts as a disulfide bond generator within the hair's keratin structure, fortifying it from within.

What does the Plex do?

- Shields the hair, providing strength, elasticity, shine, and hydration.

- Deeply penetrates the hair structure to restore broken and damaged disulfide bonds.

- Reinforces the keratin fiber connections, preventing hair breakage and deterioration.

- Moreover, its formula incorporates valuable ingredients such as rosehip oil, Shea butter, hyaluronic acid, filtered plant stem cell culture, and caviar extract, rich in essential nutrients.

- Revitalizes and enhances hair health, leaving it more manageable and radiant.

Plex-Cystine Bond Complex: innovative and exclusive active ingredient developed by abril et nature, rich in cysteine that can actively form bridges and bonds inside the keratin chain of the hair.

Holds and locks in nature moisture of the hair and reduces water loss by evaporation, ensuring the hydration of the hair.

Plant Stem Cell Culture Extract: provides a rejuvenating effect restoring the hair fiber from the inside. Is obtained from a rare variety of the Swiss apple, the “Uttwiler Spätlauber”, which has long been known for its extraordinary storability without wilting and shriveling. This extract is made from those Swiss apple stem cells providing antioxidant and anti-aging benefits. Adds vitality and youthfulness to the skin and hair. Enhances hair growth.

Hyaluronic Acid: is a polysaccharide obtained through a natural fermentation process, with the aid of proteins, sugars and yeasts. It has a dual capacity: helps retain moisture and is able to penetrate the interior of the cortex of the hair. Thanks to this dual capacity, it restores and maintains the original moisture of the dehydrated hair and prevents further dryness. The hair fiber recovers its original flexibility, elasticity, and resistance to breakage and rupture.

Can Hair Sunscreen Spray cause hair damage?

In general, hair sunscreen shouldn't cause damage if used correctly and washed out properly after application. However, some products of this kind might contain ingredients that accumulate in the hair, resulting in a dull or greasy appearance. It's crucial to select a high-quality hair sunscreen and rinse your hair thoroughly after use to prevent buildup. Additionally, it's advisable to avoid excessive application, as it can affect the hair over time. For effective hair cleansing, we recommend trying one of our Detoxifying Shampoos with Organic Hemp Oil by abril et nature, which oxygenate and purify the hair and scalp, providing natural freshness.

How does the sun affect hair?

Hair exposure to the sun can lead to damage due to UV rays, causing discoloration, dryness, weakness, and split ends. To prevent these harmful effects, it's important to shield your hair from the sun using hats, scarves, caps, or hair sunscreens. If you know you'll be exposed to the sun for extended periods, we recommend avoiding tight hairstyles or the use of heat tools that could further weaken the hair. Protecting your hair from the sun is essential to maintain its health and radiant appearance.

How to Identify a Good Hair Sunscreen?

To determine the quality of a hair sunscreen, look for products that offer protection against UVA and UVB rays, contain beneficial ingredients like vitamins or natural oils, are water-resistant, have a lightweight texture, and are compatible with your hair type. Remember that the choice of the right sunscreen can vary based on individual needs and hair type. We recommend trying our Hair Sunscreen Nature-Plex 1 or 2 by abril et nature, as they are enriched with rosehip oil, Shea butter, hyaluronic acid, filtered plant stem cell culture, and caviar extract.
