Tips to Recover Your Hair from Summer Damage

Summer time brings thoughts of warm nights, endless days at the beach, and a boast-worthy tan. But, not all is peachy-keen following a glorious summer, and that's damaged hair! With actions come some consequences and after several sandy trips to the beach and splashes in the pool, your hair may be suffering the dreadful consequences of too much sun. Luckily, being beach-goers ourselves, IHRS knows a thing a two about combating sun damaged hair. Therefore, we've gathered some tips to help you in your hair’s recovery. Let’s dive in, shall we?

1. Feel and Analyze Your Hair Strands
Start by running your fingers through your hair. There are three main areas you should check: the roots, the middle of the hair, and the ends. Not all hairs react the same way to sea water, chlorine, and wind. Therefore, it’s always a good idea to inspect your strands to prevent harsh damage.

2. Give It a Good Wash 
It’s important that after the inspection you give your hair a good wash. It's recommended to wash with shampoo every other day (depending on your hair type) to remove any chemical build-up from the pool's chlorine, or salt water. Remember to condition after!

3. Noooourish
After a thorough wash, it's time to nourish your precious locks. Summer damaged hair isn’t going to repair itself, so it needs your help to overcome the harsh elements. Put a hair mask on and rock it! Lather on your hair mask when you first step into the shower, leave it on for a few minutes allowing the mask to penetrate the hair, and rinse. Another great option is coconut oil or rosemary oil. They’re both natural and nourishing!

4. Be Careful When Untangling 
Post-shower is the best time to brush the hair and get rid of knots, right? WRONG! When the hair is wet, it is at its most fragile state and can lead to breakage of the strands. It's a good idea to spray the hair with a leave in conditioner and gently brush through the hair with a wide toothed comb.

5. Use a Protection Spray 
Even after summer, we can't escape the sun's damaging UVA and UVB rays. Remember to use a thermal spray right after your shower before drying your hair. Opt for a spray that not only will protect your hair from hot styling tools like a blow dryer or a flat iron, but also from these rays.

6. Make That Appointment Regularly
Some hair damage is inevitable, and unavoidable even if you follow these preventative tips strictly. So, make an appointment with a professional. Never neglect split ends for too long....They only get worse! A fresh cut (or trim) will rejuvenate your ends and keep your hair healthy.

At IHRS we care about your hair and how good you feel about yourself. Laser Hair Therapy can help restore your unhealthy hair to healthy hair again. We hope these tips will help maintain optimum hair health and send you into the fall season looking and feeling “fallbulous”! :)

Premier Hair

International Premier Hair is a non-invasive hair graft that results in a significant increase in hair density. It gives you a full head of hair that is evenly distributed across the scalp and there are no ridges or bumps. IHRS's Premier Hair Replacement is the most natural-looking, easily maintained prosthesis available today and unlike surgical techniques, it doesn’t require a "donor" area. Suitable for men suffering from alopecia, male pattern baldness, and other hair loss causes.

Laser Hair Therapy

Laser Hair Therapy is a non-invasive solution for people suffering of hair loss. Low Level Laser Hair Therapy (LLLT) uses low level lasers that deliver light energy directly into the scalp, increasing blood circulation in that area. This way, more nutrients reach the follicles and hair grows stronger, giving the patient a head full of thick, shiny, strong hair.

Common Reasons for Hair Loss in Women

Have you ever wondered why you are losing hair if your family doesn’t have a history of hair loss? Unfortunately, genetics are not always the culprit behind hair loss — so, what could be causing the loss? At IHRS we care about you and we are committed to finding not only the best treatment that perfectly suits your needs, but also the cause of your problem. The only way to accurately determine the reason for hair loss is by scheduling a FREE hair and scalp analysis at IHRS. In the mean time, we've comprised a list of the causes of hair loss.

Six Factors That May Cause Hair Loss: 
• Heredity (Family History)
• Hormones
• Telogen Effluvium
• Medical Conditions
• Medications
• Unbalanced Diet

Heredity (Family History)
This is the most common cause of hair loss in both men and women that leads to male or female-pattern baldness. Genetics dictates at which age most hair loss starts, its rate and the extent of hair loss. Loss can start as early as puberty. The path in which baldness is likely to follow can be determined by a pattern of hair loss. See the chart below for details.

Hormones
Hormone levels vary when a woman is pregnant, right after giving birth and during menopause. Hormone variations play a major role in the likelihood of hair loss for women because of their influence in hair growth regulation. Another factor may stem from thyroid malfunction, known as Hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism means you have an underactive thyroid gland that produces fewer hormones then it should, ultimately affecting the hair growth cycle.

Telogen Effluvium
This is a phenomenon that happens after traumatic experiences both physically and mentally, such as major surgeries, extreme stress or drastic weight loss. Every person has a 3-phase hair growth cycle, being the growth phase, the rest phase and the shedding phase. When someone goes through a traumatic event, the hair cycle deregulates and pushes more hair into the shedding phase, causing hair loss. This case is noticeable three to six months after the stressful event.

Medical Conditions
Alopecia areata is a type of nonscarring hair loss that happens when the body’s immune system attacks hair follicles causing hair loss. Other medical conditions can be scalp infections such as ringworm, skin disorders that cause scarring alopecia, some types of lupus, sarcoidosis, lichen planus, and hair pulling disorder, also known as trichotillomania, where the person has an irresistible urge to pull hair either from the scalp, eyebrows or other areas.

Medications 
Hair loss can be caused by medications or treatments. Some drugs used to treat arthritis, heart problems, depression, high blood pressure, birth control, and drugs used in chemotherapy can all cause hair loss.

Unbalanced Diet 
Lastly, eating an unbalanced diet can be one of the causes as well. The exaggerated intake of some foods or vitamins, like vitamin A or the lack of consumption of protein, for example, can be triggering hair loss. It is extremely important to have a balanced diet for the proper function of your body and if you don’t know exactly what is good for and required by your body, do not hesitate in seeing a doctor that can give you some advice.

These are just a few of the known factors to cause hair loss in women. We recommend scheduling a free hair and scalp analysis with a hair loss expert at IHRS to accurately determine the reason for loss and the proper hair restoration option for you. Hair4Me.com
