After the intense summer months, going back to the routine costs more than ever, and more if it is accompanied by a change of season… And not only because of the change in temperature, but also because we realize that our hair is weaker, dull and worst of all… it falls off more! But don’t worry, don’t panic, because with good hair care, we will give your hair back its usual elasticity.
Why does the hair get weaker in the fall?
In case you’re wondering: no, you’re not the only person who sees their hair lose its strength in the fall. This occurs because the decrease in natural light, together with the alteration in melanin production and possible post-holiday stress, affect natural hair growth. Therefore, it weakens, loses shine and accelerates its fall.
How to take care of hair in autumn?
Sudden changes in temperature can alter the natural hydration of your hair. For this reason, one of the first steps that we recommend at Dr. Panno is to undergo a Deep Moisturizing Therapy to care for the scalp and restore its natural beauty to the hair. Hydration therapy will considerably improve the production of melanin, the thickness and flexibility of the hair.
On the other hand, food also affects the health of the hair, therefore, in our clinic we recommend a healthy and balanced diet rich in vitamins A, B and E.
However, if the hair is very damaged, it is never a bad idea to clean it up with a cut and get rid of the split ends.
In autumn take care of drying your hair
Although with the cold you feel like washing your hair with hot water and using the dryer, these actions are not the most recommended for scalp care.
You should consider that hot water damages the cuticle and consequently, the hair dries out. The same happens with the excessive use of heat tools such as dryers or irons.
In case of using dryers or irons, we recommend paying attention to the characteristics of the hair, since wavy hair is not the same as curly hair. It is important to adapt the temperature to the type of hair and that the heat remains constant, thus we will avoid “burning” the hair.
Finally, it is always good to remember that hair protection is recommended at any time of the year. At Clínica Dr. Panno we recommend using hair sunscreen to prevent damage.
