Hello everyone.... i need HELP! i recently started my summer internship at a farm and it seems like my hair will be in the hot sun for most of the day and exposed to all kinds of things like birds and humidity... i was wondering if there is any way i could still keep it healthy besides covering it with a hat... any suggestions will be appreciated... Thank you in Advance ... ~*Armaris*~

I think wearing a bandana over a french or dutch braid or pig tails might help.
Do you not like to wear hats?
You could probably use a scarf to cover your hair, too.  Galadriel does a covered bun, I think she calls it a scarf bun.

Good Luck!

Hi Armaris! Keeping your hair in braids like Sakina suggested or putting it in a bun would be a good idea. Since you're going to be outdoors a lot, those styles will protect your ends. Also, try to keep your hair from drying out. Put a little shea butter or plant-based oil on the ends to help keep it moisturized.

HTH. Good luck with the internship! :)

I would suggest either braids or a bun with a scarf to protect your hair.  When I am working on our land in the heat and sun, I will put my hair into a bun then put a scarf on.  This keeps the bugs, birds and branches out of my hair.

If mosquitos, ticks or gnats will be a problem, spraying the scarf with repellant will also help keep the bugs away without having to spray your hair.

Excellent suggestions...  ;D I'll try the braids and buns... and see how it works out..Thanks ;)

You can also use the sun to your advantage, Armaris!  Try slicking on some oil (like JoJoba) or a leave-in conditioner... it'll help protect your locks from the sun by working as an extra barrier, and the warmth from the sun will help deep-condition your hair.   :)
