You’ve probably read and heard a lot about how stress levels, food habits, and personal grooming can lead to hair loss. Did you know that weather could also be a cause for your hair loss? Surprised? No, it’s true. A lot of research has been done on how changes in the weather condition can affect your hair health. 

Survey shows that there has been an increase in nearly 20 to 30% of people suffering from hair loss or alopecia in the last five years. This can also be seen in the higher number of people taking up hair loss treatment in Bangalore. If we see, we can also see a significant change in the global weather conditions with intermittent flooding and drought. Global warming has created a huge change in the climatic conditions across the world. This in turn, has led to a host of new health problems, one of which is increased hair loss. 

Certain weather conditions cause damage to your hair. If the weather is very dry with very less humidity, the hair is more prone to dry. This causes breakage. During the summer time, there will be excessive sweating on the scalp. The sweat could clog the pores, leading to hair loss. If you are prone to dry skin, winter could aggravate the condition. The scalp gets dry in the cold winter, which can cause hair loss. If the hair loss is very severe, then you should definitely go for hair treatment in a clinic. The dermatologist will suggest means and methods to combat the harmful effects of the weather conditions. 

Hair loss is not solely caused due to weather conditions. It has become worse in the recent past because of the increasing level of harmful chemicals and pollutants in the atmosphere. These toxic materials further weaken your hair follicles, causing breakage, or hair fall.

Weather is just one of the reasons for hair loss. When you go for hair loss treatment in Bangalore, the dermatologist will also talk to you about your diet, lifestyle, and genetic history to identify the cause of alopecia. 

The best way to protect your hair from the ravages of weather conditions is by covering it up when you go out. You should also regularly oil your hair and shampoo to clean dirt and grime deposited on the scalp. If nothing works, go to a hair treatment clinic.
