You’re lucky if you’re aware that extreme weather changes affect your hair health, but what if it’s new? It seems that there has been a change in your hair, and you have tried many treatments, but they are not effective. You are not alone, many women experience this feeling, but not after reading this article, which will tell you about one of the most important reasons affecting hair health and how to deal with it, weather change.
Head Hair Structure
Dear, your hair isn’t the only tuft you style, it’s made of two main components below and above the epidermis; the visible part “the hair shaft” and the hidden part that extends down to the deeper layers of the skin “the follicle”. Hair growth starts from the main structure, which is the follicle that enlarges at the base and forms the final hair bulb which is entirely composed of keratin. Usually, the number of hair follicles on your head is about 1,00,000 – 150,000 follicles and we usually lose between 50-100 hairs a day.
The way a single hair on your head can grow naturally is that “new cells are constantly forming in the hair bulb. These cells stick together and harden. The full strand of hair develops from this group of hardened hair cells. Because new hardened cells keep on attaching to the hair from below, it is gradually pushed up out of the skin.”, the National Library of Medicine says.
How Extreme Weather Changes Affect Hair Health
Based on your genes in the first place, then hormones change, hair care products, body health, chemical hair treatments such as keratin and perm, nutrition (lack of protein, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and essential fatty acids), styling tools and the living region, your hair types and texture differs which creates your characteristic profiles.
Extreme weather change affects hair texture and health too! The moderate rates of temperature and humidity (Moisture) are the key to a healthy hair look, it’s all about dry air and humidity which can lead to more than what we think. On the contrary, extremes in the increase or decrease in temperature negatively affect your hair texture. How does that happen? Let’s discuss this below
Extremely High Temperatures in Summer
Moderate summer temperature is the best time for your hair growth. Science shows that it supports the production of nutrients necessary for the creation of keratin, which is a strong protein responsible for the length and health of hair, which accelerates its growth and increases its length further.
Conversely, when extreme temperatures rise above the normal level, it affects your hair health. Direct and intense exposure of the scalp to the sun and high temperatures without protecting or covering it causes head skin cancer, as happens to the skin when it is exposed to the sun in an excessive way without protecting it.
When it’s extremely hot outside, the ultraviolet rays of the sun affect blond and white hair negatively and make it more brittle than black. This is because the melanin pigment in dark hair contains antioxidants that protect hair from breakage more than in light-colored hair. Moreover, hair experts say that the ultraviolet rays of the sun break the molecular structure of the hair, making it dry, and lacking vitality and luster.
When temperatures rise above normal, hair retains less moisture than usual, which may lead to brittleness.
Extremely Cold Temperatures in Winter
The hair itself is affected by the cold more than the scalp, which is designed to resist extreme cold. Extremely cold weather leads to extremely dry hair that lacks moisture, which leads to low humidity and thus irritation and flakiness of the scalp and hair breakage, brittleness, and loss (especially dyed hair).
Low humidity in winter causes dryness and flaking of the scalp, which also damages the hair. Lack of moisture also supports the build-up of more static electricity that makes hair frizzy to cling to anything.
Studies show that the body automatically produces more melatonin in the winter, which is a powerful antioxidant that protects hair from tissue inflammation or damage resulting from extreme cold and dryness to prevent hair breakage and brittleness. However, this may not be sufficient in extreme weather conditions that damage the hair and begins to fall out, which requires external support such as suitable hair care products and proper nutrition.
Precautions & Solutions
Although weather changes affect hair health, but we can’t control the weather! Insteasd, we can keep our hair healthy and strong by using the best suitable products and improving our lifestyle.
- Maintaining moderate hair moisture in all seasons through the use of medicated hair products such as shampoos, conditioners, and serums.
- Making sure that hair products are sulfate-free shampoos with mild surfactants and sodium-sulfate-free treatments.
- When you want to be exposed to high sunlight, it is best to protect your scalp and hair with a hat or sunscreen.
- “High protein consumption assists the keratin-based structure of those strands, as well as omega-3 fatty acids to help lubricate the hair and scalp.” Dr. Jessica Wu, M.D., a Los Angeles-based dermatologist, recommends.
Improving your nutrition (adding protein, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and essential fatty acids) to your healthy diet.
