Hot weather mistakes can make your hair fall out, expert warns

A hair loss expert has revealed the trending summer styles that could cause your locks to fall out. Excessive washing and tight updos are among the techniques to avoid as the mercury rises to around record levels this week.

The hairline-saving advice comes from Sam Cinkir, Managing Director of Este Medical Group. He said: “As temperatures rise we often think of the damage the sun’s rays does to our skin – but we don’t pay much attention to the impact that some summer hair habits can have.

“We see a lot of people opting for styles that keep their hair away from their face and neck in tight buns or ponytails. But the tighter you pull your hair back, the weaker the strands and follicles can become, which in turn can cause hair loss.”
