Summer conditions have already set in early. It is the time of the year when the season can be harsh on the skin as well as the hair due to exposure to the hot sun, dust, saltwater, and chlorine content from swimming pools.
In this educational video, Dr John Watts, a noted dermatologist, trichologist, and hair transplant surgeon in Hyderabad, explains the reasons how and why summer can damage our hair. He provides an in-depth analysis and tips to protect one’s hair during summer conditions.
He has performed over 2000+ hair transplant procedures and has extensive experience in the field.
Five Reasons for Summer Hair Loss: Tips
Dr John Watts lists the following undermentioned 5 main reasons for summer hair loss and tips to avoid them.
a) Exposure to harsh sun: Strong exposure to the sun on the hair can damage the outermost protective layer called the cuticle. This may make them brittle and lead to hair loss. “The best solution is to wear a cap or a stole while going out in the hot sun,” advised Dr John Watts.
b) Dehydration: This is the time when the body will lose water due to excess perspiration and sweating. One needs to maintain adequate body fluid as the lack of hair nutrients may damage the root of the hair. “One needs to take plenty of fluids including coconut water to avoid such a situation,” advised Dr John Watts.
c) Sweat & Oil Production: When excess production of salty perspiration dries on the scalp, the precipitate thus formed may block moisture on the scalp and make it dry due to exposure to the heat. The problem can get compounded by oil production on the scalp at this time as they can clog the pores and captured dust may lead to infection and hair loss.
“The best option at this time is to wash your scalp regularly using a mild shampoo. Even the use of plain water is enough to remove salt and dust from the scalp due to its hydrolysis action. If one does like to use shampoo, plain water is enough to clean the scalp,” informed Dr John Watts.

d) Chlorine Damage: Taking a swim in a swimming pool during summer without protecting your hair may take a toll as chlorine water can damage the natural oil on one’s scalp. This may lead to hair damage and the hair may break.
“The best option is to wear a swimming cap before taking a plunge in the swimming pool. Always rinse your hair with fresh water after swimming to reduce the absorption of chlorine or saltwater. Once the hair is dry, oiling the hair helps,” advised Dr John Watts.
e) Stress: This is the time that can increase stress factors as vacation targets and exam time for children or other work-related pressure may play spoilsport and trigger the stress hormone cortisol. “Hair loss is linked to the stress factor. Hence, one needs to destress with meditation and yoga,” advised Dr John.
