Understanding the seasonal hair cycle and targeted Ayurvedic interventions

Summer brings the sun and warmth we love – along with seasonal hair challenges. Your hair follows nature's rhythms more closely than you might think. During summer months, increased hair shedding is nothing but a physiological response to environmental changes that affects hair growth cycles, scalp pH, and follicle health. Here's what's really happening to your hair this season, and the specific Ayurvedic solutions that address each issue.

The Summer Hair Shedding Cycle: What Research Shows

• Heat Stress Response: Rising temperatures trigger your scalp to produce more oil, which combines with sweat and environmental pollutants to create buildup that can clog hair follicles and affect healthy growth.
• UV Radiation Damage: Direct sun exposure weakens the protein structure in your hair, making strands more fragile and prone to breakage and dryness.
• Humidity's Impact: High humidity causes hair cuticles to swell and lift, creating vulnerable points along the hair shaft that can lead to increased breakage and frizz.

The PRATIMA Approach: Organic Hair Nutrients & Brahmi Hair Oil

Rather than generic "nourishing" treatments, effective summer hair care requires specific botanical actives that address the root causes of seasonal hair fall. PRATIMA's dual approach combines external scalp care with internal nutritional support for comprehensive hair health.

Brahmi Nourishing Hair Oil: Protein Reconstruction Therapy

This isn't just another hair oil – it's a targeted treatment designed to rebuild and strengthen damaged hair. Brahmi, a revered Ayurvedic herb, has been traditionally used to support hair health and promote stronger, thicker growth.

What Makes It Effective:

• Sweet almond oil deeply penetrates to restore moisture balance
• Sunflower oil provides nourishing fatty acids that help repair damaged hair
• Brahmi extract supports healthy follicle function and growth

Application Guidelines:

• Intensive care: Weekly 30-minute treatment with gentle heat for deeper penetration
• Regular maintenance: Apply 2-3 drops to scalp 3 times per week
• Best results typically seen with consistent use over 4-6 weeks

Organic Hair Nutrients: Active Scalp Microbiome Support

Your scalp's natural balance can shift during hot weather. This lightweight treatment contains carefully selected botanicals that help restore scalp health while supporting natural hair growth.

Key Ingredients:

• Neem: Known for its purifying properties, helps maintain scalp cleanliness
• Rosemary: A traditional herb that stimulates circulation and supports hair growth
• Eucalyptus: Provides cooling relief and helps soothe scalp irritation

Usage Strategy:

• Apply 5-7 drops directly to scalp daily
• Massage for 30 seconds to increase absorption
• No washing required – formula designed for daily use

Why This Approach Works

Unlike treatments that only provide temporary cosmetic effects, this approach addresses the underlying causes of summer hair fall. By supporting your hair's natural growth processes and providing targeted nourishment, you're working with your body's own ability to maintain healthy hair.

The key is consistency and patience, as natural solutions work gradually with your body's repair mechanisms, typically showing improvement with regular use.
