How to adapt your hair routine to the seasons to prevent hair loss

Having hair is no easy task. Especially when the changing seasons constantly affect its health. Whether you have wavy, curly, coily, or kinky hair, you've probably noticed seasonal changes, whether it's dryness, frizz, or even hair loss.

This last phenomenon is natural but often misunderstood. Hair loss can happen for several reasons, but did you know that the different seasons are one of the factors that can cause it? In this article, we share practical solutions and guide you in choosing the right products within our brand to combat hair loss according to the seasons.

Before looking at solutions, it is interesting to better understand what seasonal hair loss is: the life cycle of a hair takes place in several successive stages: this life cycle is punctuated by three successive stages:

🌱 Growth : anagen phase

🔄 The transition : catagen phase

🍂 Rest : telogen phase

But then, how can seasonal changes affect hair and lead to hair loss?

💊 Vitamin deficiencies: Deficiencies in essential nutrients like vitamin D, biotin, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids play a key role in this problem; these elements are essential for maintaining hair structure and promoting growth. A deficiency can weaken hair follicles, leading to temporary or even permanent hair loss.

🌡️ Temperature variations: Changes in temperature between seasons can also affect the hair cycle. For example, during the telogen (resting) phase, as different temperatures affect blood circulation and follicle activity.

💦 Humidity: The variation in humidity between seasons can also play a role in hair loss during different seasons. Too much humidity makes hair heavy and can cause the cuticles to deteriorate, leading to split ends and breakage, which can increase hair loss.

To better prevent seasonal hair loss, it is important to understand how each season affects hair.

❄️ Winter : Winter rhymes with cold and dryness, weakening the hair and promoting breakage. During this season, the scalp tends to be irritated by the lack of humidity. These imbalances weaken the roots, accentuating hair loss, especially in people with textured hair, often more sensitive to external aggressions.

🌸 Spring : Spring presents a time of renewed vitality for your hair thanks to its milder temperatures. However, it is possible to notice some post-winter hair loss. This season also marks the beginning of a hair renewal process, as hair in the telogen phase falls out to make way for new growth.

☀️ Summer : Heat and humidity are the order of the day, which promote frizz and cause sun-induced dehydration at the heart of the hair fiber. UV rays damage the cuticles, making them more porous and susceptible to breakage during this season. In addition, exposure to sea salt or chlorine in swimming pools accentuates these effects by removing the hair's natural protective oils. In addition, the presence of sea salt or chlorine in swimming pools intensifies these effects by destroying the natural oils that would otherwise preserve the hair.

🍂 Fall : Fall is often a season marked by more pronounced hair loss and shedding, and post-summer fragility makes textured hair even more vulnerable. Changes in temperature and reduced light also affect the scalp, potentially slowing hair growth.

Here's how you can adapt your hair routine according to each season and its associated issues:

🌿 Use humectant-rich treatments :

Humectants are substances that attract and retain moisture. Glycerin and aloe vera are effective humectants particularly suited to textured hair, which tends to be drier this season. You can find them in our For My Curls range .

💆🏻‍♀️ Make nourishing masks :

Your hair needs a lot of nutrition this season to combat dryness. It's important to regularly use nourishing masks to maintain its health and vitality. The Jia Paris Intense Nutrition Mask is ideal for your textured hair. Thanks to Aloe Vera and Glycerin, they capture moisture and lock it into the hair fiber, ensuring softness and suppleness.

🛡️ Wear protective hairstyles :

To protect your hair from external aggressions, it is crucial to use protective hairstyles like twists, braids, or cornrows. They reduce daily tasks, reduce damage, and maintain moisture. It is recommended to use accessories such as satin or silk bonnets to maximize their effectiveness.

🧴 Do a hair reset with a clarifying shampoo:

After winter, hair often accumulates product residue, pollution, or natural oils. A clarifying shampoo is ideal for starting a healthy start. It deeply cleanses the scalp and lengths, allowing for better absorption of future treatments. Jia Paris' clarifying shampoo provides effective cleansing while respecting the hair's natural balance with monthly use.

🌱 Serums and oils to stimulate the roots :
To boost growth and deeply nourish the scalp, serums and oils are your best allies. Castor oil, in particular, is known for its fortifying and stimulating properties. You can use it alone or blend it with other lighter oils, such as mustard oil, for a balanced treatment. The Jia Paris 3-in-1 Oil Synergy includes 10 precious oils ideal for stimulating growth, limiting hair loss, and strengthening hair this season.

💪 Provide light proteins to strengthen hair after winter :

Treatments rich in light proteins, such as keratin or silk proteins, help strengthen hair structure and prevent breakage.

🌞 Use UV protective sprays
UV protective sprays form a barrier around the hair fiber, limiting sun damage. They help preserve the shine and moisture of your hair throughout the season.

💧 Light hydration to prevent buildup
Heat can weigh your hair down if you use products that are too rich. Opt for lightweight formulas like Hair Milk or Moisturizing Spray , made with hydrating but non-greasy ingredients, such as those in our For My Curls range.

🌊 Limit the impact of the sea and the swimming pool
Before diving in this season, wet your hair with clean water to minimize salt or chlorine absorption. After each swim, rinse it immediately with fresh water, then opt for Jia Paris' Co-Wash : an ideal treatment for gently removing residue while moisturizing your hair. This product cleanses your locks without drying them out and can be used daily without risk of drying out.

💆 Do nourishing cures:

Masks containing nourishing and restorative ingredients like shea butter, argan oil, or keratin are essential. Apply them once or twice a week to restore strength and elasticity to your hair. You can opt for the Intense Nutrition Mask For My Curls by Jia Paris , enriched with vegetable oils and natural butters like shea butter and macadamia oil.

💊 Supplement with food supplements or serums to limit hair loss
The fall season, often marked by increased hair loss and shedding, requires special attention. To remedy this, opt for Jia Paris Hair Vitamins Gummies (Volume & Hair Loss) . Enriched with biotin, zinc, and essential vitamins, these gummies strengthen the health of all hair types, slow hair loss, boost volume, and promote healthy growth. Their delicious raspberry flavor and vegan formula make them an effective and pleasant solution for regaining strong, resilient hair.
