In summer my hair is not the same as usual. I notice it on the comb, in the shower and, above all, I feel it more delicate. However, don’t panic, because it is something more common than it seems. During these months we accumulate sun, baths in the sea and in the pool, we increase washes, we experience changes in our routine and, many times, our sleep and eating habits are worse. All of this causes the hair to look drier, more brittle and dull, although NOTE, because intense, sudden or prolonged hair loss for months should be consulted with a specialist.
However, if you notice that your hair starts to fall out, one of the first things experts at Pilexil recommend is not to take all external aggressions faced during holidays as inevitable. “Solar radiation, pool chlorine and sea salt can dry the hair fiber and affect the scalp,” they explain. Therefore, in addition to protecting our hair with a scalp sunscreen, “it’s advisable to rinse it after swimming and use gentle formulas that help us keep both the fiber and the scalp in good condition.”
Also, we must dispel certain myths, because no, leaving the hair dirty for days will not prevent it from falling out. “Keeping the scalp clean is fundamental to keeping it in good condition.” Moreover, the issue is not so much about counting how many times we wash our hair, but about “adapting the frequency to our needs. If we sweat more, play sports or spend the day between beach and pool, it is completely logical to need to wash it more often.” So, what is the key? Bet on the right products and avoid overly aggressive cleansing.
It’s also better to avoid anything that could increase breakage. “The fiber weakens with hairdryers and flat irons at very high temperatures, harsh brushing or excessively tight ponytails, so if you can suppress them or reduce their use, your mane will thank you.”
Finally, be patient, stay consistent and “remember that care doesn’t end in the bathroom: a balanced diet, proper rest and stress management are part of the equation, since the condition of the hair largely reflects how the body is doing.”
