Summer is here, and you’ve got a lovely new hairdo, thanks to your hair transplant. But walking out of your Calgary hair clinic with your new hair in the middle of summer isn’t the smartest move. There are certain precautions you have to take to ensure that your new hair doesn’t get damaged due to the hot weather.
4 Ways To Protect Your Hair Transplant In Summer
Follow these four tips when it comes to protecting your hair transplant in the summertime, so you get the best results in the long-term.
1.Avoid sunburn
With a new set of hair, the last thing you want is to ruin it. So make sure that you always have your hair covered in the sun, especially in the first few weeks after your hair restoration surgery. Sunburning your scalp can damage the graft of your new hair follicles, resulting in weak growth, so you won’t get the results you desire.
2. Moisturize your scalp
Your hair transplant is going through a process, and that means you have to look after its foundation of your hair, your scalp. The best way to do this is to make sure that you moisturize your scalp as it will promote healthy growth and prevent your skin from drying out in the summertime. Look for products that are rich in protein and not on the cheap-side.
3. Avoid chlorine
While you might be tempted to jump into the pool, you best watch out. Chlorine is a killer when it comes to hair restoration. The chemical has hypochlorous acid, which can kill your cells, dry out your hair, making it become brittle and destroying the growth of the new hair follicles. Try to avoid it as much as possible. If you can’t resist temptation and end up swimming, make sure you thoroughly wash your hair with a protein-enriched conditioner and shampoo to get back the missing moisture your hair needs.
4. Keep hydrated – you & your hair
Your new hair has to be fresh and moisturize as often as possible. The best way to go about doing that in summer is by keeping yourself hydrated. Drink as much water as possible (it’s excellent for your hair in general) and wash your hair with nothing about water now and then. It will keep your hair hydrated.
By following these tips, you will be able to avoid any issues with your hair transplant in the summer. If you would like more information about your procedure and how to manage it in the hot weather, speak to your hair clinic in Calgary today.
