Seasonal changes: what impact on the scalp and hair?

Climate variations throughout the seasons influence our bodies on multiple levels, and the scalp is no exception. These fluctuations can cause hair imbalances, affecting the health and appearance of hair. Understanding these effects allows you to adopt an appropriate care routine to maintain a balanced scalp and healthy hair.
The Effects of Seasonal Changes on Scalp and Hair
Spring: renewal and sensitization of the scalp
With increasing light and temperatures, hair metabolism accelerates, leading to a more active growth phase. However, this transition can cause imbalances, including increased sebum production, making hair more oily. In addition, increased exposure to seasonal allergens (pollens, dust) and air pollution can cause irritation and itching of the scalp in sensitive individuals.
Summer: solar aggression and drying out
Prolonged exposure to the sun, combined with repeated bathing in the sea or swimming pool, alters the protective lipid barrier of the scalp. This aggression promotes dehydration, making hair drier and more brittle. In addition, UV rays damage keratin and oxidize the hair fiber, leading to color alteration and loss of shine.
Fall: Seasonal fall and rebalancing
Autumn is a key period when hair loss naturally increases. This phenomenon, often observed between September and November, is linked to the hair cycle: hair massively enters the telogen (falling) phase. In addition, the return to cooler temperatures and a decrease in sunshine slows down the microcirculation of the scalp, affecting the nutrition of the follicles and slowing down growth.
Winter: dryness and increased sensitivity
The intense cold, combined with the dry air from heaters, causes dehydration of the scalp, leading to itching, irritation and sometimes the appearance of dry dandruff. The decrease in sebum production also weakens the hair fiber, making hair dull and more prone to split ends.
How to take care of your scalp during seasonal changes?
Faced with these fluctuations, it is essential to adopt targeted care to maintain optimal balance. The use of rebalancing, moisturizing and fortifying products helps preserve the health of the scalp and hair.
