When you think about protecting you skin from the damaging effects of the sun…..what is the first thing that comes to your mind? For me it is sunscreen, and it is something I regularly use if I am going to be out in the sun for extended periods of time. What doesn’t typically cross my mind is protecting my scalp and hair from the sun ….but Nios Shield has helped me become more aware of that. They sent me their Whipped Gel SPF 15 and their Leave-in Conditioner SPF 15 to review, and I am certainly glad to have it!
“One perfect day, we got ready for some sun: we packed our beach towel and volleyball, threw on cool shades, and applied a generous amount of sunscreen over every imaginable surface – or so we thought. After a day of Frisbee and food, we went home to realize that those glorious sun beams bleached our hair and burnt a part of our bodies that we barely knew existed – our scalps!
We rushed to the store, eager to find a hair care product with sunscreen, but were only able to find ones with some UV filters (the equivalent of SPF 0.5!) and none with actual SPF.
So we pulled up our sleeves and went to it, crafting a line of hair-care products with built-in SPF for great looking hair, long-lasting color, and scalp protection to boot. Realizing that hair needs daily protection even when not at the beach, we added Moroccan Oil, Vitamin B, and wheat protein to ensure year-round healthy hair.
And so Nios Shield was born. A line that styles and protects both hair and scalp – now there’s a win-win combination! Style + Protect. That’s Nios Shield.”
It’s true that our hair and scalp need daily protection from the sun. After all, the tops of our heads are typically always exposed right?! Nios Shield has created a couple of products that not only make your hair look great, but will keep it healthy and protected while you are outside.
I love the Whipped Gel with SPF15 from Nios Shield because it works great for my sons hair. Even though his hair is fairly short, I’ve never really thought about the need to put hair sunscreen on his hair or scalp, but now that I have the 
Whipped Gel, I can rest assured that he is being protected and looking super handsome with his FauxHawk ;). It’s a win win situation for sure!
“Get style and protection with this Whipped Gel SPF 15 from Nios Shield. Your hair and scalp need daily protection from the sun even when you’re not at the beach. Nios Shield’s hair-care products are for everyone who wants year-round awesomeness with great looking hair, long-lasting color and a healthy scalp. “
The leave in conditioner is the perfect product for myself and all of my girls. We each have fairly long hair and having a leave in conditioner is always a good thing to have around. With Nios Shield Leave-in Conditioner, we get soft, manageable hair with the added benefit of hair UV protection and that is awesome. It’s like that scalp sunscreen is just quietly working in the background while the product is creating beautiful hair every day!
“Offers year-round color and texture protection with a non-greasy, light, natural hold combined with SPF 15 sunscreen. Its Moroccan argan oil, Vitamin E, and Vitamin B5, hydrates hair and tames frizz without weighing it down while the built-in SPF sunscreen protects hair color and texture and scalp sunburn.”
This is a new product category that Nios Shield has created, and their ultimate goal is to help reduce the roughly 15% of skin cancers that occur on the head and they need our help to spread the word. There are rarely any products out there like this, so no-one talks about it – and most people don’t know they should protect the scalp. But now you do!!
