CAUSES OF HAIR LOSS AND WAYS TO PREVENT HAIR LOSS IN WINTER

Hair loss not only affects outward beauty but also has long-term effects on health and mental well-being. In winter, hair tends to shed more frequently. So, what are the causes and effective ways to prevent hair loss in winter? Let’s find out with AmeGreen!

Winter is the season when hair loss is most common. During this time, both hair and scalp often face several issues such as:

• Cold and dry air: Winter weather conditions cause rapid water loss from the scalp, and decreased sebum production weakens the scalp and makes hair more prone to breakage.
• Hot water hair washing habits: Due to the cold weather, people tend to wash their hair with hot water. Hot water opens up the hair follicles, washing away dirt and the natural moisture barrier. This imbalance leads to dry scalp, brittle hair, and abnormal hair loss.
• Inadequate hygiene: Cold air makes many people hesitant to expose themselves to water and endure the uncomfortable feeling of cold when washing their hair. When the scalp becomes too dirty and oily, it creates a favorable environment for bacteria and fungi to thrive, weakening the hair roots and causing excessive hair loss.
• Overuse of chemical treatments: Towards the end of the year, social gatherings increase, leading to more frequent hair styling and color changes. Under the strong influence of temperature and chemicals, hair sheds more than usual.

Effective ways to prevent hair loss in winter:

• Use natural nourishing oils.
• Maintain a relaxed state of mind.
• Protect hair from sunlight and UV rays.
