Have you ever noticed more hair on your brush or pillow during certain times of the year? Don’t panic—it could be seasonal hair shedding, a completely natural and common phenomenon.
At RX Rejuvenate, we’re here to demystify the changes in your hair cycle and help you maintain healthy, full strands all year long.
What Is Seasonal Hair Shedding?
Seasonal hair shedding is a temporary increase in hair fall that typically occurs in the fall and spring months. It’s part of your hair’s natural cycle, where more strands than usual transition from the growth phase (anagen) to the resting/shedding phase (telogen).
Why Does It Happen?
Several theories explain seasonal shedding:
-
Sunlight & Hormonal Fluctuations: Changes in daylight can affect melatonin levels, which influence hair growth cycles.
-
Temperature Shifts: Cold, dry air or high humidity may impact scalp health and increase shedding.
-
Evolutionary Factors: Some scientists believe it’s an evolutionary trait—our body shedding extra hair grown for sun protection in summer.
How to Know If It’s Seasonal or Something More
Normal seasonal shedding:
-
Lasts 6–8 weeks
-
You still have overall healthy hair and growth
-
No bald patches or significant thinning
Consult a specialist if:
-
Hair loss is persistent or patchy
-
Your scalp is irritated or inflamed
-
Shedding is accompanied by other symptoms (e.g., fatigue, hormonal issues)
Tips to Manage Seasonal Hair Shedding
-
Be gentle: Avoid excessive brushing or tight hairstyles.
-
Hydrate your scalp: Use nourishing oils and scalp treatments.
-
Maintain a healthy diet: Include hair-friendly nutrients like biotin, iron, and omega-3s.
-
Stay consistent: Stick to a simple, balanced hair care routine.
