Reasonable amount of exposure to sun is good for hairs. The sun helps calcium to bind through vitamin D and activates the circulation of thousands of small vessels that irrigate the scalp.

Over exposure to sun will also aid drying of the epidermis and changing of the pH of the scalp. This will lead to peeling of skin which will then trigger dandruff.
