Why does hair fall out in summer?

Home Hair

The main problem with hair after summer is not styling or even beautiful haircuts. The main “disease” of your hair during these months is dehydration. Due to the abundance of sun (even if you did not visit the beach, but went to a mountain resort), the bonds in the structure of each hair are disrupted, which is why the curls become dull and brittle, tangled, raised like a dandelion and fluffy. Well, if you do visit Turkey or Greece, sea water is also added to the risk factors.

In order to shine with beauty again in the fall, you urgently need to make an appointment at the salon - however, you can’t do it without home treatments. Only such a complex will give you the fastest and most visible effect.

Hair after summer: seek professional help!

Don’t hesitate - as soon as you unpack your suitcases after a vacation trip, call your hairdresser immediately. Having assessed the condition of your long-suffering hair after the summer, he will “attribute” it to a restorative mask or a haircut for split ends.

But what he won’t recommend doing is curling your hair or dyeing it - these procedures are quite aggressive in themselves, so weakened curls will definitely not like it. If you already wear makeup, refresh the color of your locks with a special shampoo or balm.

Hair after summer: treatment at home

First of all, buy restorative care products (balm or mask) containing plant extracts of sage, chamomile and nettle, coconut, macadamia and shea oils, panthenol and collagen, keratin, and vitamins.

Restoring hair ampoules will also give good results.

– they are filled with concentrated vitamins, so they “work” quickly. Rub one such ampoule into your scalp once every 3-4 days, and your entire hair, from roots to ends, will receive comprehensive, gentle care.

We wash the salty “souvenirs”

After swimming in the sea, a lot of salt remains in the hair - however, after swimming in the pool, it would also be a good idea to deeply cleanse it. Unfortunately, your daily shampoo won't do the job - look for a shampoo with a pH of 8 or higher (called high alkaline). This product opens the scales of each hair, allowing everything unnecessary to come out. But remember: such washing is not very “liked” for weakened hair, so it should be done no more than once a month.

We treat with nourishing oils

Nourishing oils can provide the most effective help for hair after summer. They can also cleanse hair after summer from residual chlorine and salt, as well as moisturize and nourish each curl. The best in this “business” are jojoba, macadamia, coconut, shea and wheat germ oils. They are easy to use: warm them up a little (preferably in a water bath), apply them with your hands to your hair from roots to ends, and then comb each curl with a comb. The oil is left as a mask for 20 minutes to an hour, after which it is washed off with gentle baby shampoo. By carrying out oil sessions every 3-4 days, you will very quickly solve the problem of section and dryness.

And, in addition, almond, olive, as well as avocado and apricot kernel oils are a good way to moisturize damaged hair after summer. They are applied 30-60 minutes before washing your hair.

How to restore hair after the sea

After a week of relaxation at sea, hair, if not properly cared for, becomes dull, dry and brittle. Of course, when going on vacation to warm countries, we promise ourselves every time not to leave the house without a hat, to rinse our hair with fresh water after swimming, to use special products with UV filters, to make a mask in the evening, and so on... It is not difficult to follow all these recommendations. But only in theory. But in practice, already on the second day of your stay at the resort, you abandon all the rules in favor of an unhealthy lifestyle, partying until the morning and swimming on wild beaches. And then, after returning from vacation, you deal with the consequences.

Why does hair become dull?

It would seem that the sun, sea, and fresh air should only have a positive effect on your appearance. Well, all this “therapy” does promote wellness - in general. And the rest, as the old joke about Jews said, is nuances.

So, about the nuances. The outer shell of the hair consists of keratin scales tightly adjacent to each other, which perform a protective function. Salt water and sun in large doses lead to a decrease in the strength of the keratin layer, hair becomes dry, brittle and dull.

What to do if it's too late?

Now, in order to restore your hair after the sea, you will need, first of all, patience - one procedure, one mask will not do. If possible, then, of course, it is better to consult with your hairdresser so that he can create a recovery program specifically for you. After all, everyone’s initial data is different, and what is good for one is, for another... useless at best.

However, you will have to visit the hairdresser in any case. Because the first thing to do if your hair has suffered from an overdose of sun and sea is to cut off the split ends.

Once you have done this, you can proceed to treatment procedures. It’s probably unnecessary to say that it’s better to hold off on coloring and curling for now, so as not to expose your hair to stress again.

In the fight to restore hair, all means are good: store-bought cosmetics and folk recipes. The most important thing is don’t expect an immediate effect. If your hair is shiny after the mask, this does not mean that it has already recovered and you need to stop treatment. In general, recovery may take about a month depending on the extent of the damage.

The most popular folk remedy for hair restoration is olive oil. You can add a couple of yolks and a little lemon juice to it. The mixture is applied to the hair for 20-30 minutes and then washed off. For rinsing, you can use a decoction of nettle or chamomile.

The second most popular (but not most effective) remedy is vitamin E. It can be bought at any pharmacy (about 6 rubles for a pack of 10 capsules). The oil “extracted” from the capsule is rubbed into the ends of dry hair and left for 20 minutes, then (after 20 minutes) egg yolk is rubbed into the roots and left for another 15 minutes. Then the mask is thoroughly washed off with warm water, you can rinse with a decoction of herbs, but it is better not to use shampoo.

As for purchased cosmetics, your main weapon against fragility is nourishing masks, lotions and balms.

How to choose?

Of course, it is impossible to try all the care products for damaged hair. But narrowing down the choice to those listed here is not entirely correct. Therefore, we have compiled a list of ingredients that must be included in the restorative product (not all, of course, but at least some):

• Vitamin A - adds shine;
• Vitamin B - protects against environmental influences;
• Vitamin E - retains moisture, restores elasticity;
• Vitamin F - prevents dryness;
• Keratin and collagen - fill voids in damaged hair structure;

Why does hair fall out in summer?

Hair loss is an event for which it is impossible to prepare. Every time the abundance of lost hair on the comb is scary, just like the first time.

This problem worries every girl - after all, it is not always clear what the reason for its occurrence is. Maybe these are serious health problems, or maybe just a seasonal phenomenon. In most cases, hair loss is truly temporary.

At different times of the year, our body and in particular the scalp and hair are exposed to various “stresses”, negative factors and damage.

Seasonal hair loss is most intense in the summer. We will now tell you what this is connected with and how to solve this problem.

Seasonal hair loss

Hair loss in summer: causes

During the warm season, our hair and scalp are affected by many negative factors. The main ones that provoke hair loss are:

1. Scorching sun

If you neglect hats, ultraviolet rays will cause not only hair loss, but also brittleness and dullness. Due to exposure to the sun, hair loses its silkiness and strength, and in addition, the scalp and hair follicles also suffer.

1. Rains

Always take an umbrella with you to avoid getting chemicals on your hair when it rains.

1. Hair styling

In the summer, when you don’t have to constantly wear hats, and friends invite you to various holidays and events, we use styling products much more often than in winter. Hairsprays and foams do not allow the hair to breathe, and because of this they spoil it.

1. Salt water and chlorine

There is an opinion that salt water is good for hair. This is true, but you should know moderation in everything. To prevent benefits from turning into harm, always wash your hair after swimming in sea water.

1. Climate change

If you noticed hair loss as soon as you arrived on vacation in another country or city, most likely this problem appeared due to climate change. Yes, our hair also undergoes acclimatization, and it also needs time to get used to new weather conditions. In this situation, a proper balanced diet and eating enough vitamins and microelements will help you.

1. Weakened immunity

In the summer, your immunity may be weakened due to flights, climate change and poor nutrition. Forget about sweets and lean on seasonal vegetables and fruits. Not only your hair, but your body will thank you!

1. Stress

Yes, this is not a seasonal reason. But you shouldn’t forget about it at any time of the year. Severe or chronic stress is an important factor in hair health. Think about whether hair loss is associated with recent depression, or maybe you have been worried about unresolved problems for a long time?

Seasonal hair loss. How to prevent it?

If you want to maintain thick hair in the summer, follow these simple recommendations:

• Try not to use a hairdryer, let your hair dry naturally;
• Do not forget to apply conditioner to your hair - it will protect it from direct sunlight;
• Don't skip going to the hairdresser and trim the ends of your hair on time.
