Also, there is a GREAT online glossary of hair product ingredients: http://www.geocities.com/HotSprings/4266/gloss.html This is a great resource. I printed it out and bring it with me whenever I buy shampoo/conditioner so I know if it`s really going to work for me. Good luck!

Hi! According to Paula Begoun, the consumer advocate author who likes doing vicious exposés of the hair/cosmetics industry, Christopher is right: no product can protect your hair from the sun. Now I don`t agree with everything she writes (she has serious issues with anything shimmery in cosmetics and is obsessed with sunscreen) but according to her book, Don`t Go Shopping for Haircare Products Without Me, products claiming to contain sunscreen aren`t regulated uniformly....so until they start putting SPF numbers on the labels, there`s really no way to police these kind of claims. That`s what she says. Personally, I don`t think a shampoo/conditioner could do much to protect your hair from the sun, since you wash it away and down the drain. Perhaps there will be a protective spray with a specific SPF number someday, who knows. If you`re trying to keep hair color from fading, there are some ingredients you should watch out for: sulfur is one that can strip color.
The best thing you can do is protect your hair with some kind of covering, be it a beach umbrella or a hat. That`s all I know! :-)
