Have you noticed more hair falling out during the summer? Summer hair loss is quite common but can often be controlled if you care for your hair and scalp properly.
Here are some things that you can try to help minimize summer hair loss:
- Do not expose your scalp to too much harsh sunlight. A loosely-wrapped scarf can be one of the best ways to help keep some damaging UV rays away. It isn’t good for you to wear tight-fitting hats, though, because they can help lead to poor blood circulation and deprive hair of proper nutrition. Loose clean hats may not be bad in moderation.
- Drink plenty of water. People tend to become dehydrated quickly during the summer. When water is absorbed and circulated adequately throughout your body and your scalp, it helps keep your hair follicles moist and flexible and it improves the texture of hair. Water also flushes toxins out of the body which can lead to problems with hair.
- Consider your diet. A healthy diet is essential for your hair’s growth because hair needs protein and calcium and minerals. Certain nuts can help promote hair growth and green leafy vegetables can help promote thicker hair.
- Warm oil massages a few times a week can help the roots of your hair to get stronger. They work as natural conditioners and can prevent some hair loss. Among the best oils to use are coconut oil, almond oil, and olive oil.
- You should limit chemical use on your hair and use top-quality hair care items that are rich in the nutrition that your hair requires.
- After swimming in a pool, make sure you shampoo your hair as soon as possible to remove any chlorine residue. Chlorine is extremely damaging to your hair and scalp.
- Use a wide-toothed comb or this brush. Tight brushes can pull your hair too hard.
