Summer hair loss: causes, remedies and products to prevent it

The sun is shining, days are getting longer but hair is thinning. Why does hair fall out in the summer?

A question that many people ask and that finds its answer in a series of causes that are often underestimated, but solvable.

Among these, there is a silent enemy: scalp sweating, a crucial factor during hotter months.

In this article we will explore why summer hair loss is so common, what really causes it, and above all how to prevent it with the help of professional cosmetics, designed to restore the balance of the scalp and strengthen the hair fiber.

Why does hair fall out more in summer?

Summer is synonymous with relaxation and lightness, but also with intense environmental stresses on our hair. The main causes that negatively affect hair health during this period are:

1. Scalp hyperhidrosis

Hot weather and rising temperatures stimulate sweating, which in the scalp can turn into hyperhidrosis. This phenomenon causes an accumulation of sweat rich in lactic acid, mineral salts and toxins, which compromises the stability of the hair root, making it more fragile. In the long run, this leads to abnormal and premature hair loss.

2. Sun exposure and outdoor agents

UV rays, salt and chlorine act as oxidizing elements, weakening the hair structure, dehydrating it and promoting its breakage. The hair becomes dull, brittle, thinner--and consequently falls out more easily.

3. Alteration of skin microcirculation

Heat can also easily interfere with the microcirculation of the scalp, reducing the supply of essential nutrients to the hair follicle. The result? Hair less nourished, weaker and prone to fall.

Signs you shouldn't underestimate

If you notice one or more of these situations, you may be facing a summer fall from hyperhidrosis or oxidative stress:

• Itching and feeling of "oily" scalp a few hours after shampoo

• Hair that breaks easily or increased presence on the pillow

• Feeling of "thinner hair" and less volume on the hair

• Reddened, irritated or hypersensitive scalp

Two ESTĒREL lines to treat summer fall

ESTĒREL has developed two synergistic lines designed to respond specifically to the seasonal summer fall:

1. Sweat control: Hyper collection

Acting on hyperhidrosis means working on the root of summer hair loss: the Hyper collection is specifically designed to reduce abnormal sweating of the scalp, rebalance its pH and reactivate its follicular function.

Here is the complete and effective routine for controlling excessive sweating in summer:

Hair Mask

The first step is the PHYTO SUEUR MASK, an anti-sweating treatment that balances excessive perspiration of hair and scalp. Enriched with lysine, bisabolol, sage extract and farnesol, it soothes itchiness, eliminates lactic acid build-up, and provides a pleasant purifying and relaxing sensation.

Apply the mask directly to the skin before shampooing and leave on for 15 to 20 minutes for immediately fresher and lighter hair.

Cleansing

The second step is PHYTO SUEUR SHAMPOO, the specific ESTĒREL shampoo to treat the scalp hyperhidrosis, ideal for frequent washing and for those who practice sports.

Thanks to farnesol and chamomile extract, it rebalances the scalp altered by abnormal sweating and it offers an effective deodorizing effect. It gently cleanses, leaving hair soft, silky and pleasantly scented, while counteracting the greasiness caused by sweat.

Treatment lotion

At the end, apply the PHYTO SUEUR LOTION, the remineralizing and anti-sweating lotion, which, thanks to extracts of horsetail and mint, slows down excessive sweating of the scalp, remineralizing the stems and giving tone to the hair.

Apply the lotion directly to the scalp, without rinsing, for a refreshing and purifying action that leaves hair shiny, soft and light.

Complete kit

The ESTĒREL’s HYPERHYDROSIS KIT brings together Phyto Sueur Mask, Shampoo and Lotion in a targeted and convenient routine that gently cleanses, regulates excess sweat and neutralizes odors, restoring freshness and radiance.

2. Strengthening the hair fiber: Programme Renforçant Cheveux

When hair is already thin or weakened in summer, it needs an energy boost with a targeted treatment that works by regenerating and strengthening hair structure from root to ends.

The BOX PROGRAMME RENFORÇANT CHEVEUX consists of shampoo and lotion that, thanks to the synergistic action of caffeine, green tea and the Bio-Complex Renforçant, stimulates scalp vitality, counteracts hair fiber aging and preserves strength and shine.

After shampooing, spray the lotion onto the scalp, massage and leave on without rinsing for complete strengthening action. The result will be hair that is visibly fuller, stronger and more radiant.

Extra tips for healthy hair in summer

In addition to following a targeted routine, there are some good habits to adopt in the warmer months to treat hair loss.

• Wash your hair frequently, but with gentle cleansers specific to your scalp's needs.

• Avoid too hot blow dryers: prefer natural or moderate temperature drying.

• Protect your head from the sun with hats made of natural fabrics.

• Eat a balanced diet rich in B vitamins, iron and zinc.

• Drink plenty of water to keep your scalp hydrated as well.

Summer hair loss is not just an aesthetic issue, but a wake-up call for us to listen to the needs of our scalp. The combination of sweat-regulating products and strengthening treatments can make all the difference.
