WHY A SUMMER HAT IS MORE THAN JUST STYLE by Larry

A summer hat — especially a classic straw one — isn’t just a chic accessory. It’s also a crucial part of

your summer hair care routine.

While we often talk about sunscreen for skin, our hair and scalp also take a beating from the sun.

Prolonged UV exposure can weaken the hair’s protein structure, leading to dryness, brittleness, and

color fading (especially for color-treated hair). According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, wide-

brimmed hats can block up to 50% of direct UV rays from reaching your face and scalp — areas

often overlooked when applying sunscreen.

Enter the straw hat: timeless, breathable, and effortlessly stylish. Whether you’re beach-bound or city

strolling, it elevates your outfit while shielding your strands from harsh summer rays. It’s a simple way

to preserve the health and vibrancy of your hair — and let’s face it, nothing finishes a look quite like

a well-chosen hat.

So this season, think of your hat not just as fashion, but as armor. Your hair (and scalp) will thank you.
