HAIR FALLING OUT AFTER SUMMER:

WHEN YOU WAKE UP IN THE MORNING  DO YOU SEE MORE HAIR THAN USUAL LYING ON YOUR PILLOW? DON'T PANIC, THIS IS A NORMAL PHENOMENON

Fifty to a hundred hairs fall out every day, but in autumn, between October and December, the physiological loss may be greater, the causes may be related to seasonal changes, climate and exposure to the sun during the summer months. The life cycle of the hair involves the alternation of three phases, one of growth, one of rest, and one of fall, the average duration of this cycle varies from 2 to 7 years, it is therefore estimated that each follicle produces around 20 hairs in the course of its life; especially in summer, the period is prone to hair loss and the reason is purely physiological. You have spent the entire summer in the sun and your scalp has consequently been subjected to greater oxidative stress than the rest of the year; chlorine from swimming pools, sea water and rubber bands have further stressed your hair, which is now weak; Don't worry, it is precisely in the autumn that there is the physiological turnover of our body, the skin and hair find the right time to regenerate, hair loss after the summer should therefore not create panic but should be accepted as a 'change of shedding' and, for it to happen at its best, it is important in this period to strengthen the hair bulbs and weakened hair.

WHAT HAPPENS?

Hair loss is normal, being living organisms, when they exhaust their life cycle they fall out to be replaced by new ones.
Among the most common causes leading to hair loss are:

• Incorrect nutrition: especially if lacking in nutrients, vitamins and fibre.

• Stress: it is a real killer for hair, at times when we are particularly stressed, the hair tends to weaken.

• Use of aggressive chemicals: dyes, colouring agents and bleaches can cause thinning hair.

• Excessive exposure to the sun during the summer: the sun is good for you, but when it is excessive your hair, as well as your skin, suffers.

 How to have beautiful, healthy hair?
An important factor that is often underestimated is nutrition. Often during the summer we forget to follow a complete diet of the main food components, which are essential for the development of hair follicles. Now that we are approaching the autumn period, the time is perfect to provide our organism with proteins such as meat and fish, iron from vegetables and cereals. By balancing our diet, our hair will be revitalised and hair loss after the summer will only be a short and healthy process of physiological regeneration.
