The Source of the Summer Growth Spurt?
Many people experience faster hair growth in the summer than in winter. Ever wonder why? The trigger is apparently the increase in daylight hours during the summer months. Because we are exposed to more sunshine, our bodies manufacture more Vitamin D, which is involved in making hair. So our hair grows faster during the summer.
Also, the summer sun and heat stimulates blood flow in your head and scalp, which nourishes hair follicles and enables hair to grow faster, than in the cooler winter.
So I’m thinking, because I spend most of my day in air conditioned buildings I’m going to make a point of slapping on some SPF fitty-elevem hundred and make sure that I get some extra sun (at least an hour), everyday.
Maybe have lunch on the patio near my office building.
Besides following your haircare & vitamin regimes what are you doing to maximize the summer growth spurt?
