Dr. Juliana Palo talked about hair care in the summer
Researchers warn of hair loss and scalp fragility, which increase in incidence during the summer. Therefore, Dr. Juliana Palo made some guidelines on the essential care with the wires that, especially in this season, it recommends.“
“Hair tends to become more fragile, susceptible to breakage during the summer, due to the great exposure to sea and pool water, multiple washes, occlusion by hats and caps and increased sweating”, explained the dermatologist.
Hair care (and beauty) during the summer increases by 61% among Brazilians during the summer, according to research by Head&Shoulders. The summer season serves as an alert for hair and skin health care to be intensified in daily treatment. About 85% of Brazilian women say that their hair is the main factor responsible for their self-esteem.
“To avoid hair breakage and dryness, a tip is to make a weekly hair mask with a product derived from coconut oil. Coconut oil is one of the only actives that have been proven to reduce the inflammation of the scalp and improve the structure of the hair shaft” , said the specialist.
Another tip that the dermatologist leaves is about washing and the products that are usually applied.
“In some washes, apply the conditioner or mask to the length of the hair even before applying the shampoo to the scalp, in order to avoid the protein loss that occurs in shampoo washes, increasing fragility. Remember that shampoos must be applied only to the scalp, as it has a pH compatible with the region, and masks and conditioners, only to the length”, explained.
For colored hair, she advised: “Before entering swimming pools or sea water, people with dyed hair should wet their hair with fresh water without chlorine. This is a tip to prevent the strands from acquiring a greenish color”.
Finally, the specialist said that care must also be taken with the scalp, which, if exposed to very strong sunlight and outside the permitted hours, is susceptible to burns and even skin cancer. Therefore, the use of caps, hats and other types of protection is indicated.
