Hats are not just a type of clothing nowadays, but more often they serve as a fashion element that greatly influences the overall effect of an outfit, playing a role in adjustment and embellishment. People are increasingly focused on its decorative function, gradually forgetting its most basic attribute as a hat - the role of protecting against cold and heat, and preserving human health, which is often more important than its visual effect. From a health perspective, whether wearing a hat to enhance the overall appearance or for warmth and sun protection, paying attention to the health aspect of wearing a hat should be our primary concern.
Firstly, wear your own hat and avoid wearing others' hats. Secondly, different people should wear different hats, and different occupations should have different hats. When choosing a hat, comfort is the primary prerequisite for selection, allowing the scalp to breathe freely. Avoid choosing hats that are too loose, as they often tend to fall down and affect normal life. For those with excessive sebum secretion on the scalp, it is advisable to wear hats with good breathability, use lightweight materials, and brush and wash them regularly. In addition, people who often wear hats should develop the habit of regularly combing their hair and massaging the scalp with fingertips, which can promote blood circulation in the head and help prevent hair loss.
In fact, wearing a hat can also cause damage to the hair. Therefore, when wearing a hat, we should also pay attention to some details. For example, after taking off the hat, comb the hair and massage the scalp for 10-15 minutes to promote blood circulation in the scalp. After doing these, spray some hair care water. Due to the hot air under the hat when wearing it, the scalp may produce oil and itchiness. Therefore, it is recommended to use shampoo with a pH value close to neutral to clean and care for the hair. In summer, due to the significant damage of ultraviolet rays to the skin, it is advisable to wear a breathable sun hat when going out. Since white fabric has the highest reflection ability for heat radiation and absorbs the least amount of radiation, a white sun hat should be chosen. In winter, due to the temperature, we should choose hats with good warmth to prevent frostbite and colds.
When choosing a hat to wear in winter, pay attention not to choose one that is too tight, otherwise it can harm the scalp and even lead to hair loss. There are two main reasons for this phenomenon: on one hand, wearing a hat all day can compress the blood vessels of the scalp and affect blood circulation in the scalp. Especially in summer, hats hinder ventilation, and hair is prone to "early retirement". On the other hand, the roots of the hair and other areas are heavily compressed by the hat, causing the pores to relax, which can also induce hair loss. It is worth noting that many people with hair loss believe that it damages their image, so some people often wear hats to cover up. Experts point out that regularly wearing a hat can affect blood circulation in the scalp due to the pressure from the hat, and if it is in hot weather, the scalp and hair follicles being sealed inside the hat can accelerate hair loss due to lack of air circulation.
Editor's note:
The body's ability to regulate temperature itself is limited, especially in the cold winter, so artificial measures must be taken to adapt to changes in external temperature. Clothing is just the most common method of adapting to changes in external temperature. However, in winter, it is not necessary to wear too much clothing because excessive and thick clothing can cause body temperature to rise, resulting in a large amount of excess heat, causing the skin blood vessels to dilate and increasing blood flow to the skin, which increases the cooling effect. This actually reduces the body's ability to adapt to changes in external temperature.
