Extreme heat, humidity and increased exposure to dust and pollution during summer can weaken hair roots and lead to excessive hair fall.
Experts suggest that maintaining a proper haircare routine during the hot season is essential to protect scalp health and reduce damage caused by sweat, dehydration and harsh environmental conditions.
Keeping the scalp clean during summer can help reduce hair fall caused by sweat, excess oil and clogged hair follicles.
Dermatologists recommend washing hair regularly with a mild shampoo to remove dirt and oil while maintaining natural moisture.
Experts also stress the importance of hydration, as dehydration can make hair dry and brittle.
Including seasonal fruits, vegetables, nuts, and protein-rich foods in the diet may help support healthy hair growth and strengthen hair roots.
Experts further recommend limiting the use of heat-styling tools such as straighteners, curlers, and blow dryers during summer, as excessive heat exposure can weaken hair strands.
Applying natural oils such as coconut or argan oil in moderation may help nourish the scalp and reduce dryness.
Experts also recommend protecting hair from direct sunlight by wearing hats, scarves or caps outdoors to reduce UV damage.
Hair specialists advise avoiding prolonged exposure to chlorinated pool water, which can weaken hair texture and increase hair fall.
Proper sleep, stress management and a balanced lifestyle may also support healthier hair growth, as stress and poor sleep can affect hormonal balance.
Simple habits such as gentle towel drying, avoiding tight hairstyles and using wide-toothed combs can help reduce strain on hair roots and minimise summer-related hair problems.
