I had a really bad habit (for a few summers) of sitting in the sun for an hour or two on weekends, on purpose, to try and lighten my hair naturally. The top layers that got lightened have significantly more breakage and the underneath layers that are still darker are notably silkier and grow longer with less damage at the ends. I even had cut layers into my hair because the bottom length never needs a trim as much as the top layers. I committed last October to stopping that habit for good, and I'm really looking forward to seeing how the texture of the top layers improves over the next few years.
