The season of the year, the level of stress, environmental or emotional factors, a poor diet, genetic inheritance or hormonal changes are the main reasons that directly affect the health of our hair. This is reflected in finer hair, with less volume, which grows more slowly and breaks more easily and falls out.
Estibaliz Lancha, pharmacist and CEO of my back office, explains that hair is a structure in constant movement, so it is common for us to lose between 50 and 150 hairs every day. When we accuse a greater loss, it is when we have to worry and act in time since it is possible that it derives in one of the different types of alopecia.
If your concern about hair has increased these months, it may be time to add a extra to your hair care. And this materializes in incorporating good habits.
Tips to avoid seasonal hair loss
According to Estibaliz Boat it is advisable to put aside certain habits that can harm your hair health, such as detangling hair when it is wet. It is best to do it before getting into the shower, since wet hair is weaker and more brittle. Or as explained by Dr. Carlos Portinha, Chief Clinical Officer of the Insparya Group“before going to sleep to promote blood circulation, exfoliate the scalp and remove product remains, enhancing shine”. And always from means to ends.
“It is highly recommended to sleep with a loose ponytail or braid, or with a bow clipped to the top. This prevents hair pulling while sleeping and reduces the tendency to break” adds Dr. Portinha.
Likewise, when washing hair, Estibaliz does not recommend that the water temperature be very high, since hot water can weaken the hair follicle. We should not rub the scalp insistently. “With your fingertips, perform a gentle massage that stimulates blood circulation”he concludes.
In addition, many people tend to dry their hair first by rubbing it with a towel, although according to the doctor “Wet hair is very sensitive and for this reason, it is advisable to opt for pressure gestures to remove excess water, finishing drying it with the help of a hairdryer a hand’s length from the scalp and in the first heat setting or cold”.
Doctor Carlos Portinha insists that food is the basis of hair health and the general well-being of our body. “YOInclude in our diet foods rich in vitamin A, B and C, as well as iron, zinc, magnesium, folic acid and iodinewill help us keep the hair hydrated”. In this way, consuming foods such as carrots, pumpkin, peach and apricot help prevent dandruff and hair loss. “And, of course, drinking a lot of water is essential to hydrate the internal structure of the hair” adds the doctor.
The lack of certain nutrients has an effect on the hair. And in this aspect the Food supplements They are the best alternative to focus the action. Julia Chacón, CEO and founder of the Spanish nutricosmetics firm Luxmetique, advises take them for 3 consecutive months to prolong its action. Dermatologists recommend taking, to prevent hair loss, foods rich in biotin, vitamin D, and folic acid.
The pharmacist comments that “It is recommended that increasing the consumption of vitamin B3, responsible for improving blood circulation in the scalp; the Vitamin E, that helps to strengthen the hair and restore its damage; or the ironnecessary for the oxygenation of the scalp and the synthesis of capillary melanin”.
In addition to taking care of your diet, you can reinforce the nutrient intake by taking a food supplement for hair
