Pool, beach, sunshine — summer is a demanding season for hair, even though it feels carefree.
Published: 23 August 2026 · Updated: 23 August 2026
What strains hair most in summer
- UV radiation, which weakens hair structure.
- Chlorinated pool water and sea salt.
- More frequent washing in hot weather.
What's commonly recommended
A hair covering — a hat or scarf — during long sun exposure, and thoroughly rinsing hair after swimming in a pool or the sea. Simple steps, but they limit the dryness that builds up faster in summer than in other seasons.
What to discuss during a consultation
An article about “How to Care for Your Hair in Summer” can help organise the subject, but the cause of a hair or scalp problem needs an individual assessment. Sudden or worsening hair loss, pain, itching or changes to the scalp should be discussed with a doctor or dermatologist.
Bring information about when the symptoms started, your health conditions, medicines and recent health changes. This helps clarify whether further tests are appropriate and what next steps may make sense.
