With the arrival of summer, hair faces one of the periods of greatest external aggression. Prolonged exposure to the sun, chlorine, sea salt, and high temperatures accelerate oxidative stress and progressively weaken the hair fiber, favoring dryness, loss of density, and more fragile, dull, and lifeless hair.
Although its effects are not always immediately visible, the sun damage accumulated during the summer months can manifest weeks or even months later, intensifying processes such as hair loss and premature hair aging. In this context, antioxidants are positioned as one of the great allies to help combat hair photoaging from within and strengthen the body's natural protection against oxidative damage.
With this objective, Olistic, the leading brand in hair nutraceuticals and number one anti-hair loss in pharmacies, focuses on the antioxidant power of its formulas. Olistic Women incorporates more than 10 antioxidants, while Olistic Next combines more than 12 antioxidant active ingredients, aimed at preparing hair against oxidative damage and promoting stronger, more resistant, and healthier hair.
“Antioxidants taken regularly are one of the best preventive strategies against aging, because they act from within, where no serum can reach,” states Laura Zamfir, Medical Advisor of Olistic.
Summer, one of the great accelerators of hair aging
During the summer months, hair is constantly exposed to factors that alter its natural balance. UV radiation favors the degradation of essential proteins such as keratin and accelerates cellular oxidation, progressively weakening the hair fiber and scalp.
The consequences are visible: loss of shine, dryness, fragility, changes in texture, and even alterations in color after prolonged sun exposure. However, one of the most relevant aspects is that this damage occurs cumulatively and silently. In fact, many people begin to notice its effects weeks after the holidays, coinciding with the increase in hair loss in September.
This process, known as capillary photoaging, reflects how continuous exposure to external agents can accelerate the aging of hair and the hair follicle. Therefore, strengthening the body's antioxidant defenses becomes a key tool to help minimize the impact of oxidative stress before the damage becomes visibly manifest.
An advanced combination of antioxidants to protect hair from within
To respond to the specific needs of hair during this stage, Olistic Next incorporates a combination of more than 15 antioxidants and active ingredients that act complementarily against oxidative damage associated with sun exposure.
The formula combines antioxidant vitamins such as A, C and E with minerals such as zinc, selenium and copper (Next), involved in natural cellular protection mechanisms. Added to this are amino acids such as L-cysteine and glycine, essential for the production of glutathione, considered one of the most powerful antioxidants naturally generated by the body.
In addition, Olistic Next incorporates plant extracts with high antioxidant capacity such as astaxanthin, resveratrol, Cursol® turmeric, black cumin and blueberry, selected for their ability to help protect cells against premature aging. The formula is completed with Ubiquinol Q10 —present exclusively in Next—, an active ingredient related to cellular energy production and the maintenance of stronger and more resistant hair over time.
Thanks to this combination of active ingredients, Olistic Next helps prepare hair for sun exposure, minimize premature aging and strengthen the hair fiber from within.
