3+1 tips on keeping your hair healthy during the fall

Your hair starred throughout the summer in countless dives, nights out and photos that will linger forever with your summer memories. So, the time has come to show them some gratitude and make sure they are properly restructured during the fall. The weather change contributes to seasonal hair loss, which is actually part of the necessary reconstitution of the hair follicles. For that desirable renewal to be done properly, hair must gradually adapt to the new everyday conditions, whose stressful pace often have an impact on our hair too.

So, to cherish them glowing and healthy, follow the tips below, which will protect and pamper them from roots to tips.

1. Tips to fight off seasonal hair loss

 As we already mentioned, during the summer our hair went through a lot under the unbearable heat of the sun, drenched in seawater, and tortured by hair styling products. So, naturally, September finds them toneless, dull and weary. Their dehydration leads to gradual dryness, making them thinner and more fragile. Hence, it’s not a mere chance that hair loss during the winter is considered an unpleasant yet anticipated fact. Depending on the intensity of the hair loss, we must take proper precautions to minimise it as much as possible. Starting with an enriched diet, we absorb nutrients that are beneficial to the health of our scalp, such as iron, vitamin B complexes, zinc, proteins and Omega-3 fatty acids. These substances ensure that the necessary nutrients are properly transferred into the hair follicles, strengthening at the same time the roots and restructuring the broken tips. So, stock your shelves and fridge with red meat, liver, salmon, dried fruits, and, of course, with all sorts of colourful vegetables and fruits offered to us so lavishly during the autumn. In addition to these, you can also check for specialised hair care products and treatments against hair loss, like serums, oils, lotions, and ampoules that can be applied locally and directly to the roots. You can get an equally targeted action if you use a complementary treatment with a shampoo enriched with proteins and vitamins, specially designed against seasonal hair loss. 

2.Fight off hair breakage and split ends

 If your hair tends to break on the tips or other points, it possibly has a serious yet reversible derangement in the composition of the hair, which can actually be treated in advance. Hair breakage can damage not just your look, but also the health of your hair. So, we suggest regular cutting off of the split ends, every 5-8 weeks, refreshing your hair and removing the old and now weary hair strands. With special oils and masks, you can also restore the humidity to the dry tips and, in part, their appearance, with their valuable nutrients. Also, invest in shampoos and hair care products with keratin supplements, one of the natural and most basic proteins inside the follicles, whose quantity tends to decrease every time we wash our hair. Besides, too frequent or almost daily baths should be avoided, because they remove the natural moisture and natural oils of the hair, making them look wild and dry. Finally, some changes in the usual (but wrong) drying techniques of wet hair can make a difference. Never rub your freshly shampooed hair with a towel, as they are brittle because of the water. Opt to dry it naturally, in the open air. If, however, you are in a hurry, before subjecting them to the... hairdryer torture or using other hair styling products, make sure to carefully apply a special product to protect them from direct exposure to the heat and chemicals of cosmetic products.  

3.Pick the right hairbrush

 To avoid hair breakage and the... irritation caused by hair that is difficult to untangle, it is important to choose the brush that’s right for your hair type. Aside from the ergonomic grip and the preferably natural hair or the specially designed durable teeth, make sure that the brush follows the shape and curvature of your head. The ideal brush should be able to straighten the hair, style them successfully and rid of wet strands without causing pain. In the market, you will find different types that meet all your needs.

4. Buy products suitable for your hair

The ads may sound impressive, but not all hair products shown on TV are suitable for you. Of course, you can experiment with new products, but try them in small amounts at first, to avoid putting something on your hair that doesn’t actually suit you - but you paid so much for it that you simply must use it and not just throw it away. If you are not sure what your hair needs exactly, consult an experienced hairstylist.
