I've been spending a lot of time outside in the sun. Daily I diligently to use sunscreen on every area of skin exposed. Sadly, I wasn't taking extra precaution with my hair. It can heat up quite a bit under the big luminous orb. (Not that I'm complaining.) Sometimes it feels like I could fry an egg on the top of my head. So I usually don a hat. A cute one at that. I have all sorts that go with all sorts of different looks. Unfortunately they don't cover all of my hair and unfortunately I don't always wear one. The end lengths are left out to the mean heat and harmful UV rays leaving them vulnerable. Fortunately the shampoo and conditioner I am currently using offer UV protection. But when you are out for long periods it's not enough. They need extra protection. As a result, my ends are feeling neglected. I will do some serious treatments to rectify this issue. It's a good thing I've been going easy on the heated hair appliances.
Lesson learned. If you've been spending a little more time that usual outside, use extra protection on your skin and hair. There are many hair care products out there that offer sunscreen protection as well as repair. Most major hair care lines have one. Ask your stylist to consult with you if you are feeling overwhelmed by this purchase. I think it's a great investment if you spend a lot of time outdoors. Especially if you chemically treat your hair.
Here are two that are tried, tested and true.

shame on you Sharon for not thinking of your hair!! lol. I always think of my hair before my skin, kind of backwards I think.
I too love being outside this time of year, although the days have been triple digits, have to stay inside until early evening.
:)
Sounds like you are having a better summer than we have Grace. We've had quite a bit of rain. So when It's nice and sunny out I can't stay in!
I like the way you think. Hair first. lol...
