Winter - the hair suffers from frost and dry air
Winter is probably the most difficult period for hair. When it's cold outside, but the air is extremely dry in heated rooms. If you keep your hair under a warm hat, it's bad for them, but if you go to the cold without it - it will be even worse. Then you definitely can not avoid problems with hair.
The most dangerous factor that can lead to sudden hair loss is cold and frosty wind. Supercooling of the scalp can damage the hair follicles. There are cases of complete hair loss in men who have been exposed to prolonged exposure to cold - they walked all winter without a headdress. Thus, in winter it is necessary to protect hair and their roots. But the measure is also important here. Overheating for hair is no less harmful than hypothermia. The cap should not be too warm and impenetrable - it disrupts the microcirculation in the scalp, hair gets less nutrients, becomes weak and begins to fall out. In addition, too warm hats cause excessive sebum secretion, which clogs the channels and worsens the hair condition. Thus, problems such as dandruff and increased hairiness of hair can occur. In addition, greasy hair looks worse, they are difficult to lay, so we use more varnish or mousse. This, in turn, can temporarily improve the appearance of our hair, but further worsens their condition.
The main reason for seasonal problems in the winter period is sharp temperature changes. When we enter from a cold street into a warm room, our hair suffers from a heat stroke. Blood vessels sharply narrows, cutting off the hair follicles from the supply of "food" in the form of nutrients and oxygen. Especially often these problems can arise when we walk in winter with an uncovered head. Another threat to the hair is dry air in heated rooms. Although this can not be the direct cause of hair loss, but in such conditions they become brittle, rough and dry. To prevent this, even in winter, especially when we spend a lot of time in an air-conditioned office, it is necessary to drink at least 1.5 liters of mineral water.
Spring - hair needs vitamins
Avitaminosis causes a general weakening of the whole organism. Hair also suffers. The most terrible thing is that the lack of vitamins does not appear on the condition of the hair immediately. You may at first seem that everything is in order. And then, after 2-3 months, the hair begins to fall out intensively. Then taking even the best vitamins can not help. Time is lost. Although there is no reason for panic - despite the fear, you, of course, will not lose all your hair! It is necessary to carry out the procedure of strengthening the hair follicles with the intake of vitamins and microelements. So you strengthen the already existing hair, and new hair will grow strong and healthy.
Even if you are sure that your diet is adequately balanced - an additional intake of vitamins will help to avoid problems with the hair. Another hair needs zinc, B vitamins and sulfur - in this case it is better to buy a special complex in the pharmacy. You can also solve these seasonal hair problems with the help of herbs. Especially helps horsetail and white turnips. A common cause of hair loss in the spring may be anemia. If hair loss disturbs you, why not take a blood test - to determine the level of red blood cells in the blood, hemoglobin and iron. If you have a deficit, you need to cure it and avoid seasonal problems.
Summer - the destructive power of the sun and salt
The best conditions for our hair - about 20 0 C, not too intense sun and moist air. In the summer, however, this is rarely doable. The biggest threat to hair is the influence of UV rays. Because of them, and there are many problems with hair. The highest risk is exposed to light and fair-haired hair that does not contain melanin, a pigment that includes sun protection.
If you have oily hair, it seems to you that staying in the sun improves their appearance. But this is only an illusion. In a few weeks you can have serious problems with your hair. Especially dangerous is the combination of exposure to the sun with bathing in chlorinated or salt water. The sun deprives the skin of the protective layer, and salt and other harmful substances can penetrate into the center of the root of the hair, killing it. To prevent this, after each bath, wash the hair with fresh water and a mild shampoo.
Autumn - in the problems with hair is to blame ... estrogen
Even if your hair has been healthy all the previous summer, in the fall they may start falling out. In this, as a rule, ... hormones are to blame. From a practical point of view, the female hormone estrogen in the spring and summer months stands out more intensely under the influence of the sun. In autumn, stimulation stops, hair that grew more intensely under the influence of estrogens, complete their life cycle. The same phenomenon, though on a wider scale, is felt by women after childbirth.
Autumn hair loss is the most common of the seasonal problems. It's unlikely that we should be very worried - it's rare to avoid hair problems in the fall. If the norm in the summer is the loss of 50 hairs a day, then in the autumn this rate increases to 100 hairs a day. This has long been regarded as a phenomenon caused by the natural rhythm of nature. In addition, the phenomenon of hair loss affects all mammals, including our pets - dogs and cats.
Despite this, during this period we must provide proper hair care: cut hair, get rid of damaged ends, apply a nutrient-rich mask. Also in the autumn, strong winds cause damage to our hair. This is especially true for thin and long hair. Therefore, before you go out into the street in windy weather, properly fasten your hair.
