Brides, it's time to kick back and relax. Your wedding day has come and gone (probably in a blink of an eye), and now it's time for some much-needed fun in the sun with your favorite guy. Whether you've been lounging poolside — naturally, with a cute drink — or beach bummin' it, you probably remembered to bring your favorite sunscreen (because sun damage is practically synonymous with signs of premature aging). But, did you know the sun's rays can damage hair, too?

If hair has prolonged exposure to the sun, UVA and UVB have the potential to damage the cuticle, the outermost part of strands. Signs of damage could include dry and brittle strands, broken or split ends, thinning and frizziness, which can pretty much ruin a day spent at the beach or pool. Not to worry, though, as we've found a few gems that could instantly revive your pretty locks. From oils, to masks, and sprays, here's seven products that whip hair back into shape. Now go on and enjoy that gorgeous tan.
