@hairbydrmax: Why does the sun make your skin darker but your hair lighter? It comes down to biology. Your skin can respond to UV radiation by producing more melanin but the hair shaft is not living tissue. It can’t make new pigment or repair itself. UV exposure can gradually break down melanin, fade hair color, damage keratin and leave hair feeling drier, rougher and more prone to breakage. And when you’re high in the mountains, UV exposure becomes even more relevant. Protect your scalp, especially thinning areas, and remember that hair can undergo photoaging too. #HairTok #HairScience #HairHealth #SunDamage #UVRadiation #ScalpHealth #HairLoss #HairCareTips #HairEducation #Melanin #HairBreakage #HealthyHair #DrMax
