Season Change, Scalp change? Know What To Do

“Seasons are the natural global earth clock and the rhythm of the world”

Are you aware that fluctuations in temperature, humidity, and the environment can alter the state of your scalp? During the seasonal "transition periods," you may notice more hair loss, itching, and other hair/scalp difficulties. Majority of people don't even "know" their own scalps’ condition! The condition of our scalp is greatly affected by changes in the climate throughout the year.

SUMMER

UV rays are at their most powerful this time of year. Did you realize that our scalp is exposed to these damaging rays 23 times more than our face? It is necessary to protect your head by wearing hats; nevertheless, hats suffocate the scalp/hair, which is another reason for thinning of hair and causes sweating on the scalp. In this season, appropriate "air circulation" is essential. Sweat can contain bacteria, extra oil, dirt, and pollutants. These can easily accumulate on your scalp and erode its protective layer. This is also the reason why you could get dandruff during the hot, humid months.

MONSOON

Summers are more about refreshing drinks and eatables that keep your body cool while monsoons are more about warm liquids and eatables that regulate the body temperature to balance with the cooler temperatures outside. As there is a change from summer to monsoon season, there is a considerable change in the food intake that affects the scalp condition too. The consequences of dryness and UV light damage from the summer months are evident in the scalp and hair at this time. According to hair experts, rainwater contains pollutants and chemicals from the air which damage the hair bulb and clog the hair follicles, leaving your hair dull, thin, itchy, dry, and brittle. Rainwater also increases the risk of fungal infections, which can result in hair loss, dandruff, and itchiness on the scalp. The fungus that causes dandruff thrives in humid climates, thus it gets worse during the rainy season.

WINTER 

The cooler environment slows blood circulation in the scalp, preventing oxygen and nutrients from reaching the scalp. As a result, the scalp and hair becomes dry and flaky. People stay indoors more often and turn up the heater in the winter. This results in heated, dry air accumulation on the scalp. Dandruff is related to oil secretion on the scalp. When the scalp produces too much oil to battle dryness, dandruff develops.

TIPS TO CARE FOR YOUR SCALP

We hope you've realized that your scalp requires ongoing TLC as the seasons and events in your life change. Hair loss isn't something that just appears out of nowhere. It's always possible to prevent it. So, here are some suggestions for avoiding scalp and hair problems:

• Avoid taking very hot showers. It frequently dries out the scalp and harms the skin on the head.
• Keep your hair away from alcohol-based products. Such products might dry out your scalp in the cold and eventually cause dandruff.

• Use shampoos with moisturizing properties to routinely wash your hair. This can cure dry hair and eliminate the bacteria that cause dandruff.
