Weather effects on hair

Weather affects every aspect of our lives. Bad weather makes traffic a nightmare. It can disrupt our conveniences (electrical service, television service, etc.). We plan trips around weather patterns (going to the beach in sunny summer weather, skiing in snowy winter weather). Weather can make us feel happy or sad, good and bad. It can help us feel refreshed and energized, or just plain old.

With all the ways that weather affects us, it’s little wonder that it can play such havoc on our hair. There are many ways that weather affects the hair. Let’s look at the effects of weather,
season by season:

Summer:
Summertime brings thoughts of beaches and swimming pools, and lying in the sun to get a tan. The average person spends more time outdoors during the summer months, and two of the more common factors of summertime weather are heat and humidity. Any woman who’s ever spent an hour styling her hair and stepped outdoors on a hot, humid day can tell you firsthand that heat and humidity can ruin a hairstyle.
The physical side bonds in our hair are broken by the application of heat and water. This is why we are able to style the hair using wet sets on rollers, and by using blow-dryers, curling irons and flat iron. Exposing styled hair to a hot, humid environment causes these side bonds to break again allowing the hair to return to its natural state. Naturally straight hair will have its curls begin to collapse. Naturally curly hair that has been ironed will begin to frizz and slide back into its curly state.
Some styling products can help to seal the hair shaft and make the hair resistant to the effects of weather, but they can only do so much in very intense weather situations.
Another “weather effect” that’s common in the summer is sun damage. In the same way that UV rays from the sun affect the melanin in the skin, it also causes changes in the melanin in the hair. Prolonged sun exposure can lighten the hair, and sometimes, when dealing with artificial haircolor, can alter the color to an undesired shade. The UV rays penetrate the hair shaft and disperse the melanin that gives the hair its color.

Winter:
The most common weather-related effects on the hair during winter come from the cold (or specifically the constant changes from cold to warm environments) and from static. Cold, dry air can cause the cuticle layer of the hair to lift, and going into a warm, dry interior environment then leeches the moisture out of the hair, leaving it dry and frizzy. This also provides the perfect conditions for static, which can make the hair very unruly.

Wind:
Wind can also damage the hair. Exposure to strong persistent winds can create tangles and snags in wavy and curly long hair. The wind buffets the hairs against one another which rough the cuticle layer causing the hairs to catch on one another. In addition, hair that is repeatedly buffeted in strong or gusting winds can develop split ends as the hairs brush against one another.

Most of these problems can be controlled with modern styling products, but there are limits to what the products can achieve. It’s easier to limit your exposure to the elements.

Prevent method from weather.

1. If you are going out in the cold and wind it is a good idea to tie your hair up in a plait. This will help to prevent knots and dry ends. If this is not an option try to keep your hair covered and safe by wearing a hat.

2. Try to use a clarifying shampoo to remove any buildup from your hair. Styling products leave residue and this residue will stop your conditioner from doing its job properly.

3. Use a weekly treatment to help nourish and protect your hair. Cold weather drains the moisture from your hair so it is important to look for treatments that will rehydrate, replenish and renew your hairs natural beauty. Once a month you can also splash out and treat your hair to a mask or reconstructor. A good brand to try is Nioxin's Deep Repair Hair Masque which will leave your hair looking and feeling amazing.

4. Glossing serum is great during the winter months when hair becomes dull and limp. A little goes a long way and can make your hair look and feel great.

5. Whenever possible, let hair dry naturally as long as possible. Hot styling tools like blow dryers and curling irons damage the hair shaft and create split ends; cold weather only accelerates this.

6. Reduce the temperature when rinsing out conditioner as this will help prevent too much moisture loss from your hair. You don't have to use freezing cold water; warm tepid water will do the trick and will help to reseal your cuticle after washing your hair. This also helps to leave your hair smooth and shiny.

7. Cut down on your hair straightener usage and allow you hair to dry naturally. How often do you use a hair straightener? If you're like me, it's probably on a daily basis but in winter I do try to cut down because like everything, moderation is the key. Straighteners can cause spilt ends and these cannot be repaired. If you notice this happening to your hair, then it's time to take a break and do some damage control. Get a good conditioning treatment and try not to use your straightener unless you really need it.

Last but not least, invest in a good leave in conditioning spray and use it wisely during the winter months. It will help to prevent any further damage and when the summer comes around you will definitely be thankful when you hair is beautiful and glossy.
