Why do we lose hair in summer

It is normal to lose hair in autumn, but many people wonder why they lose hair in summer. The sunlight is stronger in summer, and the intensity of ultraviolet rays is stronger than in other seasons. Long-term exposure to the scalp will make the hair frizzy and split, and the hair quality will deteriorate and hair loss will occur. This article introduces several possible reasons for hair loss in summer. If you want to know more, take a look.

Why do you lose more hair in summer?

The main factors that cause hair loss in summer are: sunlight exposure, increased hormone levels, dietary problems, inadequate hair care, etc.

1. Sunlight

The sun is strong in the summer, and we often use sunscreen on our skin, but few people have considered the issue of sun protection for their hair. In fact, the scalp is more susceptible to damage from ultraviolet rays than the skin. Hair is composed of keratin, which will decompose and lose under direct ultraviolet rays, causing the hair to become thinner and softer. Hair scales will be damaged to varying degrees under direct sunlight, making the hair frizzy and split. In addition, sunlight exposure can also cause the hair to fade and turn yellow. In summary, the strong sunlight environment in summer is one of the main causes of summer hair loss, and most people have no prevention in this regard.

2. Increased hormone levels

People are more active in summer than in other seasons. In fact, it is because the hormone levels are increased, which is also related to the natural environment such as temperature and humidity. In addition, staying up late and exercising more frequently in the summer further aggravates the instability of hormone levels.

3. Dietary problems

In summer, everyone loves to eat ice cream, carbonated drinks, cold beer, barbecue, etc., but in fact, these foods cannot be eaten all the time. They are all high in sugar, oil, and irritating foods. Strictly speaking, they are not good for your health or hair growth. In addition, the hot weather in the summer can cause many people to have a decreased appetite, and they are prone to lack of certain vitamins or trace elements in the short term, which can also lead to hair loss.

4. Hair Care

In summer, people's hair is prone to oiliness, sweating, and bacteria multiplying quickly. Hair itself is difficult to clean. If some people are lazy and do not wash their hair for a long time or wash their hair casually, they are prone to hair loss. There are also some habits, such as washing your hair with cold water and going out in the sun directly after washing your hair, which are several causes of excessive hair loss in a short period of time.

Hair loss is more common in summer, mainly due to ultraviolet radiation, increased hormone levels, dietary problems and hair care issues. In order to prevent hair loss in summer, we should protect our hair from the sun and avoid cold foods and carbonated drinks.
