Hair loss after summer: 5 tips to follow right away

Are you also struggling with hair loss after summer? At this time of year, hair can appear more damaged than usual. Excessive exposure to the sun's rays, sea salt and chlorine from swimming pools, in fact, tend to stress the hair and weaken it, increasing hair loss. 

Another reason why we lose hair after summer is related to the physiological turnover typical of autumn. We have inherited this phenomenon, known as seasonal effluvium, from the animal kingdom and shouldn’t cause undue concern. However, a few simple tips can successfully counteract hair loss after summer. 

1. Hair loss after summer: the right shampoo

The first step in taking care of your hair after the summer is to choose a gentle cleanser suitable for your hair. Frequent washing and, what's more, with the wrong shampoo can, in fact, further weaken your hair. To best cope with the arrival of autumn, therefore, opt for a shampoo that has both a gentle washing base free of SLS and SLES and a targeted action against hair loss.

Among them, our team of Kmax experts recommends Kmax Stimulating Shampoo, the cleanser formulated to combat hair loss and simultaneously stimulate hair regrowth. Its targeted dual action is possible thanks to the use of the best anti-hair loss and stimulating active ingredients: Triaminodil, azelaic acid, vitamin B6 and caffeine are just some of the key players in this shampoo against hair loss after summer.

2. Second rule: nurture and repair 

The second step in repairing hair damaged by the summer months is to deeply nourish and moisturize the hair. To do this, we recommend introducing a conditioner for dry, damaged hair into your daily routine. A good choice is Kmax Stimulating Leave-In Conditioner, the 2-in-1 conditioner that nourishes the hair and speeds its proper regrowth thanks to its anti-hair loss and stimulating activities. Another advantage of this conditioner is that it does not need to be rinsed with water allowing its formulation to work longer for an even more restructuring effect. 

3. Beware of heat 

Another good tip to avoid worsening late summer hair loss is to limit exposure to excessive heat. For example, prefer a lukewarm shower to one with a hot temperature. Second, we recommend reducing the use of hairstyle tools, such as straighteners and blow dryers, or at least using a protective spray.

This is because heat is likely to do more damage to the structure of the hair to the point of making it brittle and lack luster due to cuticles opening. 

4. Hair loss after summer: remedy by massaging the scalp

Another remedy for dry hair is to stimulate the microcirculation of the scalp through massage. Doing so is easier than you might mistakenly think: just move your fingertips in a circular motion for at least five minutes. This movement is enough to activate circulation and provide more nutrition to the hair follicles. More nourished hair, healthier hair.

5. Nutrition and supplements for hair loss after summer

Finally, the golden rule for combating hair loss after summer and, in general, maintaining thick hair is to act internally as well. How? With a diet rich in seasonal fruits and vegetables and with specific nutritional supplements.

In particular, the most recommended foods for combating hair loss after summer include legumes (rich in iron and zinc), whole grains, low-fat dairy products, fish (such as salmon and shrimp) and nuts, as well as seasonal fruits and vegetables. In parallel, the therapeutic properties of diet can be enhanced by taking specific natural supplements. In cases of seasonal hair loss, the most suitable are those with biotin and L-Cysteine to strengthen the structure, with Annurca apple to speed hair regrowth, and MSM to ensure overall well-being.

Finally, although designed for post-hair transplantation, Kmax Healing Hair Transplant Post-Surgery Follicle Activator is perfect for seasonal effluvium. This is because underlying its formulation are the most powerful stimulating and restructuring active ingredients, such as biotin, MSM, NAC, and turmeric.
