Humans were born with hair covering their head and other parts of their body specifically to serve as protection from temperature extremes and in the Summer, rays of the Sun.

While everyone needs to pay extra attention to their strands in the Summer months, there are special rules for people with short hair styles.

The shorter your tresses, the more careful you need to be to protect against sun or wind burns.

Although it has never been conclusively proven, some experts believe that when hair roots are exposed to extended periods of the sun's rays, that the hair roots are more likely to burn. 

Some hair experts believe that when tender scalps and hair roots suffer from a sunburn, they are more at risk for sustaining  permanent damage. 

This damage could ultimately result in long term hair loss or hair thinning. This is especially true if the roots are damaged to the point where they no longer are able to produce new hair growth.

Short to very short strands will also expose more areas of the head and face including the ears, neck and parts of the face to the sun than hairstyles with long strands.

When hair is worn super short it is very important to apply the appropriate level of sunscreen to all exposed face and head areas including the ears, front and back of the neck and face.
