Sunbleached hair - special care??

[littletingoddes]

My 9 year old daughter's hair gets bleached from dark blonde to very light blonde in the summer. It's shoulder length. Should I be doing anything to take special care of it? She usually just uses whatever shampoo and conditioner I am, currently Sunsilk for frizzy hair.

often shampoos for colour treated hair will have sunscreen in them

is sunbleach considered coloring, though? hmm...

good question! i'd like to know, too.

My oldest daughter's hair lighten's up a lot in the summer I just use a good shampoo, conditioner, and a leave in treatment on her. If you want to prevent the sun from lightening her hair you could always have her wear a hat in the sun.

I'm not saying sunbleached is coloured...........I'm saying that shampoo for colour treated hair has sunscreen in it to protect your colour.....so I would imagine the sunscreen in it would protect anyones hair, stop the bleaching from getting worse, maybe use it next year before it starts to bleach out.Does this make sense?

I don't know if I want to stop the lightening, though.. unless it's damaging her hair? It's such a pretty color... but I didn't really think about how it could be damaging it. I just wasn't sure if we should be conditioning it more than we already are, or if I should be treating it like color treated hair.
