Hair loss, scalp irritation and itchiness are some of the most common hair problems during summer.

Increased sweating forces us to wash our hair often, it is better to choose a lighter shampoo

The humidity combined with the summer heat causes profuse sweating, which is often the main reason for hair problems and increased hair fall during summer.

The sebum secreted by the scalp is a basis for the dirt that accumulates in that place, so frequent hair washing is one of the most important summer rituals that we should include in our routine.

With sweat, a larger amount of salt comes out on the scalp, which has a corrosive effect and thus weakens the hair root.

This is exactly what leads to hair loss, so frequent washing is the only option for a regular hairstyle.

Another common hair problem during summer is the unpleasant smell of the scalp, because the accumulation of sweat on the scalp is the perfect environment for the development of fungal and bacterial infections.

This is why washing your hair with the right shampoo at regular intervals can be very effective in solving common summer problems.

However, there are a few things to consider before deciding how often you should shampoo in the summer.

Depending on how much you sweat on a daily basis and how much time you spend in the sun, you may need to wash your hair every day or several times a week.

People living in cities must wash their hair more often due to higher environmental pollution compared to people living in suburban areas, writes Keya Seth.

On the other hand, if you spend most of your time indoors in an air-conditioned environment, your hair is less likely to get dirty.

So, there is no universal rule for how often you should shampoo your hair in the summer.

If you usually wash your hair twice a week, try three times.

Attention should also be paid to drying, the hair and scalp must be completely dry, especially if there is a high percentage of humidity in the air.

A clean scalp and hair are key to healthy hair, it's important to use a mild shampoo so as not to stimulate extreme sebum production, which makes hair greasy.
