Sunscreen & Heat Multi-Protector No.1 with Plex for Dyed Hair

Harmful UVA and UVB radiation breaks down disulfide bridges that hold keratin chains together. Due to this, the hair gets damaged and weakened. The UV radiation causes color to fade, both your natural hair pigment and the color of the dye.

Saltwater dehydrates the hair. Chlorinated water in a swimming pool damages the keratin fiber, removes the natural protective lipid layer of the hair, and affects its color.

To solve this problem, abril et nature has developed two multi-action hair protection products - Hair Sunscreen Nature-Plex 1 and 2, based on a composition of stabilized UVA, UVB and IR sunscreens, of oil type, with excellent skin and mucous membrane tolerance.

Contains Cysteine Bond Complex (Plex), an innovative active ingredient, which was developed exclusively by abril et nature, that works as a generator of disulfide bridges inside hair's keratin fiber. 

What does the Plex do?

- It acts as a protector on the hair fiber, providing strength, elasticity, shine and hydration.

- The Plex penetrates into the cortex with long chains of keratin so that it is placed in the broken disulfide bonds in the hair, reconnecting and repairing them.

- Restores and strengthens the bonds of the keratin fiber, preventing thereby hair breakage.

Besides, it contains rosehip oil, shea butter, hyaluronic acid, plant stem cell culture filtrate, caviar extract, rich in essential vitamins A, D, E and B12.

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. Is located on the broken bonds of the keratin fiber of the hair repairing and reconnecting them. Reconstructs and protects the hair fiber, strengthens it and supports bond stability while prevents breakage during and after harsh hairdressing salon processes like bleaching, permanent, dyeing or tinting.

Creatine: an amino acid that occurs naturally in human’s body and is a nutritional supplementation that helps to nourish the hair. Increases resistance to hair breakage during particularly aggressive technical services and brushing.

Panthenol: Pro-vitamin B5: is a mild humectant and a moisturizing agent characterized by regenerating, moisturizing and emollient properties. Can easily penetrate into the hair cuticle. 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.

Caviar Extract: active ingredient of marine origin, with a high content of proteins and regenerating nutrients for skin and hair. Rich in vitamins A, D, E and B12 that promote cell growth and stimulate skin and hair regeneration.

What are the recommended ingredients in a hair sunscreen?

A good hair sunscreen should contain zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, avobenzone, octinoxate, vitamins, antioxidants, and natural oils. These ingredients protect the hair from UV rays, which can damage and weaken the hair, keeping it healthy and nourished. When choosing a hair sunscreen, it's important to look for one that contains these ingredients to ensure optimal protection and a radiant hair appearance.

What is the difference between hair sunscreen and skin sunscreen?

There are some notable differences between hair sunscreen and skin sunscreen. Skin sunscreen is designed to prevent sunburn and cellular damage to the skin, whereas hair sunscreen protects against dryness, discoloration, and hair weakening caused by UV rays. Additionally, hair sunscreen usually has a lighter and less greasy texture than skin sunscreen, allowing it to be easily absorbed into the hair without leaving a heavy or oily sensation. It may also contain additional ingredients to nourish and strengthen the hair, such as vitamins, antioxidants, and natural oils. Both are important for shielding against the harmful effects of the sun.

Is it necessary to use hair sunscreen every day?

Using hair sunscreen every day is not necessary, unless you are in locations with high sun exposure or engaged in extended outdoor activities. In these cases, we recommend using hair sunscreen to protect your hair from harmful UV rays. Hair can also be protected by wearing hats, scarves, or caps that cover the hair.

What should you do when your scalp gets sunburned?

To alleviate pain and inflammation, we recommend applying cold compresses and soothing products like aloe vera or calamine lotions to the affected area. It's important to avoid using irritating hair products and to protect the sunburned scalp with a hat or cap during the recovery period. Drinking enough water to stay hydrated is also crucial. If symptoms persist or worsen, seeking medical attention is advised.
Besides, to take care of the scalp, we also recommend considering the use of our Oil Exfoliant for Scalp by abril et nature. This product, enriched with natural active ingredients, can effectively help purify and oxygenate the scalp.
