Summer heat is notorious for causing intense dryness, excessive oil production and worse, hair fall. Unfortunately, all that shedding is noticeably happening on your head not on any other part of your body that would save you a trip to the waxing salon. Still, the dreaded summer molting doesn’t have to be inevitable. You can add these professional tips to strengthen and hold your hair together.
A person can lose about an average of 100 strands of hair every day. In the summer this can peak to more than 200 strands a day causing some real concern over hair loss. Luckily seasonal hair fall is, for the most part, a natural occurrence. It's part of a hair cycle called telogen, or a resting phase where we are extra prone to hair fall. But sun exposure and heat can aggravate this phase causing premature shedding of an otherwise still viable strand. The good news is that in most cases the cycle just restarts and hair regrows. Still, if you're worried that those extra strands clogging your drain are too plenty for comfort, here's how you can keep it under control.
#1. Hydrate
The benefits of hydration are well established. It helps your body function against the heat, it’s great for your skin, and of course it’s great for your hair as well. A lot of things can be solved with just remembering to take your 8 to 10 glasses of pur clean water every day. Your hair iis comprised of one quarter of water, so don’t forget to drink up.
#2 A Caffeine Treatment for Energized
Hair fall happens for a multitude of reasons but you can lessen the general effects of it by getting to the root of the cause, literally. Caffeine extracts are known to maximize your hair’s defense against hair fall by encouraging regrowth. Although the jury is still out on its full effects, it is the focus of studies in drug therapy for alopecia. So give your hair its own java love with products like Davines Naturaltech Energizing Shampoo & Gel (Goodbye Hairfall Set). These paraben and sulfate-free products are also safe for pregnant and lactating women, who experience particularly worrisome hair fall due to hormonal changes.
#3 DIABOOST It!
When hair fall is inevitable, the best alternative is to thicken your strands while you wait for regrowth. One of the best ways to thicken hair is to use a boosting treatment. Try DIABOOST by Nioxin.

#4 Keep Baby Hair At Bay
But it's not all about the hair fall that’s a cause for concern. Regrowth, or what others call “baby hair”, are the bane of any sleek and straight look.
