In recent years, sun protection products have been widely added to various cosmetic products for hair care. As a rule, they are used during rest on the sea and are designed to protect the hair, both from ultraviolet exposure, and from contact with salt water. Various filters against rays A and B (benzophenones, para-aminobenzoic acid, titanium dioxide, iron oxide, etc.) are used as sunscreens. These drugs are used in the form of a gel, an aerosol, a foam, a hair cream. It should also be remembered that wearing a hat or panama on sunny days provides the hair and skin of the scalp with a defense similar to SPF (sunscreen factor) = 5-7.
