introduction

Many people notice that their hair loss suddenly increases at a certain time of year, especially with changes in the weather. This is often called seasonal hair loss .

But the important question is: Is it normal? How long does it last? And when does it become a sign of a bigger problem such as a deficiency of nutrients or scalp inflammation?

In this article, we explain the picture practically, then give you a 4-week plan to help reduce hair loss and support the scalp.

What is seasonal hair loss?

It is a temporary increase in hair loss over a short period due to seasonal/environmental changes that affect the hair cycle.

It is usually:

• Widespread hair loss all over the head
• Without obvious gaps
• It gradually decreases over time

Many people notice it during seasonal transitions (such as the beginning of autumn or spring), but it may vary depending on the person and the environment.

How long does seasonal hair loss last?

It usually lasts from 4 to 8 weeks and then starts to improve.

If it continues for more than 2–3 months without improvement, then we need to look for another cause.

Why does hair loss increase in some seasons?

Possible reasons:

1. Changes in the natural hair growth cycle
2. Psychological stress with changes in routine (return to school/work/travel)
3. Dehydration/Low fluids due to the weather
4. Sweat more in the heat or dryness in the cold
5. Changes in care (hot water, more heat, stronger shampoo)

How do you differentiate between seasonal hair loss and alarming hair loss?
