A new study conducted on hair has revealed that hair also plays an important role in feeling overheated during summer.
As summer approaches and temperatures rise, you’ve probably thought of different ways to stay cool, such as wearing loose-fitting clothing, increasing your water intake, and limiting outdoor activities in the afternoon, but Have you ever thought that your hair can also protect you from dehydration and overheating?
Scientists have researched the texture of ‘straight’ and ‘curly’ hair, which has resulted in an interesting answer, according to experts, hair also plays an important role in increasing body temperature.
A new study published June 6 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences examined different hair types and interestingly found that curly hair offered more protection from the sun than straight hair. are
According to the researchers, they started this study to find out the answer to the question of how the heat generated during hours of intense sunlight affects the hair.
Dr. Jablonski says, “From the results of this study, we learned that strong, curly hair helps people stay cooler, while people with straight hair feel more intense heat.”
According to researchers, this is due to the micro ‘water packets’ found in curly hair, the ‘micro water packets’ present in curly hair actually retain water and also play a role in reducing heat stress.
Does curly hair really need to stay cool in the summer?
Experts on this question say that according to experiments, some advantages of normal curly hair have been revealed, but the exact amount of curls or how frizzy the hair is is yet to be determined.
According to Dr. Lacy, other factors such as hair length and style (cutting) still need further study.
