Summer toll on hair health
The summer season causes direct damage to the health and vitality of the hair, as it is exposed daily to direct sunlight, humidity, environmental factors, chlorine, and salt. This leads to dryness, split ends, loss of shine, increased dandruff, and hair shedding. High temperatures and sweating due to elevated humidity levels promote the growth of Malassezia fungi, which contribute to dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis, especially in individuals with oily skin. Additionally, continuous exposure to sunlight and dry air weakens the proteins in the hair, making it more brittle and coarse. The use of chlorinated pool water or seawater further exacerbates dryness and split ends. Women with long, chemically treated, curly, or dry hair, as well as those suffering from scalp disorders or nutritional deficiencies, are most vulnerable to deterioration of hair condition during summer, with increased risks of hair loss caused by factors like iron deficiency, thyroid disorders, or hereditary baldness. Experts recommend moisturizing the hair, minimizing direct sun exposure, and maintaining humidity balance to combat these damages.
