With autumn and winter comes seasonal hair loss. If you are already feeling it or want to prevent it, this routine is for you.
Maybe you've noticed that your hair is weaker and that it always happens at this time of year.
But why does hair fall out more with the arrival of autumn?
During the summer, hair is exposed to UV rays, sea water and chlorine from swimming pools. We relax in our routines and perhaps forget to do our mask or apply our serum consistently.
Furthermore, it is believed that the body is responding to hormonal changes. With the change of time, and therefore fewer hours of light, our circadian rhythms change and, consequently, our hormonal production as well.
Therefore, this is the right time to boost hydration, stimulate the scalp and ensure that we are not lacking any vitamins or micronutrients. Here is the perfect anti-hair loss routine!
Reinforce hydration
Temperature changes alter your hair's natural hydration and you may have already exposed your hair too much during the summer. Good hydration is synonymous with elasticity and strength. The ideal is to apply a mask to your hair while you sleep. The longer it takes, the more the mask 's nutrients penetrate the hair cuticles - which is why it's so important that the ingredients are 100% natural. Remove excess grease with a deep wash with shampoo and conditioner.
Massage the scalp
It's like preparing the soil to put seeds in and waiting for them to grow. Without a healthy scalp, hair will not grow. Hair massage stimulates blood circulation, strengthens hair roots and increases nutrient absorption through hair follicles. Just put a few drops of serum in your hands or directly at the roots of your hair, and massage with your fingertips, in circular movements.
Avoid combing wet hair
Wet hair is more elastic and, with the force of brushing, it can pull or break the strands. The ideal would be to brush dry hair before washing . And while washing, don't tangle it again. Wash your scalp with circular movements and gently “squeeze” the strands between your hands. This way, you leave the shower with your hair combed and ready to dry.
Eat real food
Good nutrients = good hair. It is important to maintain a good supply of healthy fats, micronutrients and vitamins. Avocado, nuts, legumes, fatty fish, chia seeds for Omega-3, dark green vegetables, citrus fruits and kiwifruit (Vitamin C!), eggs, sweet potatoes, and seaweed (for a good source of iodine) - stock the pantry and the fridge with them all!
Consider supplementary
Various stages of our life may require extra help, be it postpartum, menopause, periods of increased stress ... A natural supplement , capable of regulating the production of cortisol (the stress hormone), supporting hormonal production and giving a boost of vitamins and nutrients, can make all the difference in the appearance of our hair, controlling hair loss and encouraging the growth of new strands.
Avoid tying your hair and drying it with a hairdryer
Above all, avoid ponytails that are too tight. They create tension in the hair strands and make them break more easily. Excessive use of hairdryers and straightening irons makes hair dry and brittle, so when possible, let your hair dry naturally .
Avoid chemical dyes
If you dye your hair and haven't given in to Henna yet, maybe you should give it a try. Hair dyes are full of chemical compounds that penetrate the scalp's hair . Furthermore, they make hair drier, brittle and fragile. If you opt for natural coloring, you will not only be giving your hair a new color, but also nourishing it with each coloring. You can follow the step by step in this video.
Avoid smoking
We know that smoking harms our health in general and, in the case of hair, inhibits blood circulation in the scalp and follicles, preventing the good distribution of oxygen and nutrients necessary for strong and healthy hair. The toxins present in tobacco also penetrate the hair follicles, causing negative changes.
Manage your emotions and rest!
The usual old advice, which is used for so many problems in our lives. High stress levels and poor sleep are the enemies of good skin and hair. For a more restful and regenerative sleep, try our drops.
Be patient and consistent
Hair grows approximately one centimeter per month. And it has natural cycles of growth, rest and fall. We cannot change this mechanics, nor our genetics or age, which also influence it. But we can be patient and consistent with our hair care routines and our daily habits.
You will see that the differences can be noticed!
