Summer Hair Top Tips and Treatments

Most problems seen by trichologists involve either excessive
loss of hair, thinning hair, patches of baldness, hair breakage,
scaling problems or excessive oiliness and itching of the scalp.
Conditions range from psoriasis, hair loss, alopecia and baldness.
As a hairdresser as well as a professional trichologist, Iain
Sallis asks: Summer is coming, so how do we get the best out of our
hair? Here Iain looks at the tips and treatments you can take to
make sure youve the most luscious locks on the beach and at home
this summer. Summer months are usually wonderful for peoples skin
(apart from if you burn) and general well being, but precautions
need to be taken to ensure you dont damage your hair. Strong sun
light equals strong UV radiation (the light waves from the
sun...which can affect us even on cloudy days) and UV light is
something that causes the chemicals in our hair to oxidise. Its
this oxidisation process which slowly bleaches our hair and ruins
many a good colour as well as takes the condition out of it...this
as well as jumping in pools of chlorinated water, the salt from the
sea and of course lots of ladies feel summery and so want to go
lighter, this all takes the toll on the hair so we have to give it
some summer TLC!
