Hair Care: Summer Protection and Strategies to Reduce Hair Loss

Specialists advise adapting hair‑care routines for hot weather to keep hair healthy and protected from UV rays, heat, humidity and chlorine. Recommended measures include wearing a hat or scarf, avoiding tight hairstyles, limiting frequent washing, using leave‑in conditioners with UV filters (such as Biotop All in One Hair Treatment or L’Oréal Professionnel Curl Expression), and applying thermal‑protectant sprays when heat styling. Natural remedies like aloe‑veră water and argan oil mixes are also suggested.

To address excessive shedding, experts recommend identifying underlying causes, improving nutrition with protein, iron, zinc, vitamin D and B‑complex, reducing stress, avoiding high‑heat tools and tight pulls, and using gentle brushing. Persistent loss should be evaluated by a dermatologist for possible treatment.
