I lose a lot of hair in autumn

Many people think that easy hair loss is a problem with physical health. In fact, it may also be caused by incorrect washing and care methods. In terms of basic washing and care, it is necessary to ensure thorough cleaning, and you can perform appropriate scalp massage. At the same time, you should also do a good job of sun protection and maintenance, pay attention to your own diet, and avoid being in an environment with excessive stress for a long time. There will be obvious therapeutic effects.

1. Basic washing and care

Some people think that hair should not be washed too much. The more you wash it, the more damage it will cause to the hair. In fact, this statement is not very unscientific. If the hair is not cleaned properly, it is easy to cause the accumulation of dirt and oil in the hair, which provides conditions for the reproduction of various bacteria, making it more likely to have various problems such as hair loss and increased dandruff. Therefore, to maintain beautiful hair, you must first pay attention to hair cleanliness. When shampooing your hair, you should choose a shampoo that suits you according to your hair quality. The water temperature should not be too hot, but should be close to human body temperature. When shampooing your hair, use your fingertips to gently and evenly massage the entire scalp. This can stimulate blood circulation in the head, improve sebum secretion, which is beneficial to hair growth, hair strengthening, and provide moisture to the hair and increase its gloss. After washing your hair, you can apply some hair cream on the roots of your hair and then put on a shower cap to allow your hair to absorb the various nutrients in the hair cream to the maximum extent, making your hair more elastic and shiny. After washing your hair, try to use a hair dryer to dry it as little as possible, otherwise it will easily damage the hair tissue and make the hair brittle. You can wrap your hair with an absorbent towel and gently wring out the water, but do not rub it vigorously to avoid damaging the hair. If you must use a hair dryer to dry your hair, try to use slightly cold air. Hot air can easily damage the hair tissue and damage the scalp. If you use it too many times, the hair will easily lose its luster and elasticity, and even turn yellow and dry.

2. Scalp massage

There are abundant acupuncture points on the scalp. Massage can promote blood circulation, which is beneficial to hair metabolism and promotes hair growth. So in addition to massaging your scalp when washing your hair, you can also massage your scalp before going to bed or after getting up in the morning. When massaging, you need to use the fingertips and apply appropriate strength. In addition, the climate is dry in autumn and there is more static electricity in the hair. It is recommended to use a wooden comb or a horn comb when combing your hair, and use plastic combs as little as possible to avoid static electricity generated during friction and causing damage to the hair.

3. Hair also needs sun protection

Some people think that the sunlight is not that strong in autumn, so they begin to relax about sun protection and even neglect sun protection for their hair. In fact, in autumn, ultraviolet rays still exist. In addition, the weather is clear and the air is thin. If you do not pay attention to sun protection, it is more likely to cause damage to your hair. Therefore, when going out in autumn, you should also pay attention to sun protection, wear a hat or hold an umbrella.

4. Diet adjustment

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "the kidney's beauty is in the hair", so if the liver and kidney are deficient in qi and blood, hair loss, dry and split hair, etc. are likely to occur. For some women who suffer from qi and blood deficiency, they can regulate qi and blood and nourish the spleen and stomach under the guidance of a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. In daily diet, you should pay attention to eating more fresh vegetables, fruits, beans and protein-rich foods to meet the needs of hair growth. In addition, "the lungs control hair" and the lungs are closely related to the functional state of human skin and hair. Once the lung qi is deficient, the defense against external factors is insufficient, resulting in weak hair. The dryness in autumn can easily consume the body's yin and blood, causing the skin and hair to lose moisture, resulting in blood deficiency, wind dryness and hair loss. Therefore, in autumn, you can also eat more foods that nourish yin and moisten the lungs, such as sesame, honey, white fungus, walnuts, lily porridge, etc. Eat less spicy and greasy foods, because these foods can easily stimulate hair follicles and cause excessive oil secretion, which can easily cause seborrheic dermatitis and folliculitis of the scalp, indirectly leading to hair loss.

5. Keep a happy mood

“Autumn has always been a sad and lonely season” and “Autumn wind and rain make people depressing”. Some people are prone to all kinds of melancholy and sad emotions in autumn, which results in endocrine disorders. When reflected in the head, the hair may be malnourished due to reduced blood supply to the scalp, which may lead to hair loss. Therefore, in autumn, it is advisable to maintain consciousness, restrain spirit, reduce sadness in autumn, keep a happy mood, listen to more music to relieve tension, anxiety, and irritability, and ensure adequate sleep to adapt to the peaceful atmosphere of autumn. Sufficient essence and blood are beneficial to the health of hair.
