7 common causes of hair loss during the holiday season
In India, the Navratri and Diwali festival seasons are the time when people often attend parties, dance and wear gorgeous outfits. However, the habit of getting too beautiful can easily make hair weak and broken.
According to Dr. Vinata Shetty, consulting dermatologist at Kaya Limited (India), during the holiday season, hair is often exposed to heat, chemicals and environmental factors. If not properly cared for, it will quickly dry out, lose shine and break more.
7 main causes of hair loss during the holiday season include:
Dehydration: Dry, brittle hair when deficient in moisture.
Scalp with too much heat: the borer, strainer, dryer damages the hair fibers.
Unhealthy scalp: strong shampoo or poor hygiene causes dryness and dandruff.
Environmental pollution: dirt, high humidity and dust make hair weak.
tightly tied hair types: horsetails, high buns put pressure on hair roots.
Lack of care at night: frizz while sleeping makes hair messy and broken.
Skipping professional treatment: not finding a medical solution for prolonged hair loss.
How to keep hair healthy throughout the festival
Dr. Shetty offers many useful tips to limit seasonal hair loss:
Drink enough water and use a moisturizing hair mask every week.
Always spray heat protection before styling and prioritize non- thermal hairstyles.
Use a mild, unsulfated shampoo, combined with natural oils such as lavender, mint to reduce dandruff.
Cover your hair when going out, use an environmental protection serum to limit the harmful effects of dust and smoke.
Avoid tying your hair too tight, so let it get loose or curly.
Sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction.
If hair loss is prolonged, you can refer to professional therapies such as PRP, hair microneedling, exosome.
The most important thing is to maintain healthy hair care habits even after the holiday season. Healthy hair starts with healthy scalp, Dr. Shetty emphasizes.
