What is Seasonal Hair Loss?

How to Prevent Seasonal Hair Loss

Have you found yourself losing more hair in the hotter months than in the colder ones? This is a type of hair loss that is sometimes called “seasonal hair loss.” Some studies have shown that hair loss can be more common in summer and fall than it is in the winter and spring months. Therefore, your increased hair loss may just be a result of a change in the weather. However, once you are aware of this, there are steps that you can take to help prevent seasonal hair loss.

Studies have been conducted by analysing global Google trends that show a plausible link between the seasons and hair loss. By analysing how many times the term “hair loss” was searched between January 2004 and October 2016, researchers were able to determine that changes in the weather may influence hair loss.

What Causes Seasonal Hair Loss in Summer and Fall?

However, what would be the cause? One big factor of seasonal hair loss in the fall could be the pre-holiday binge diets. This is because the health of your hair is affected by what you eat and how you live. Any sudden change in your diet or lifestyle can be enough to cause an increase in temporary hair loss.

Additional findings also suggest that seasonal hair loss is most likely just a part of our biology. Seasonal hair loss or shedding can be found in animals as well. Cats, dogs, camels, and rhesus monkeys have all been shown to lose hair as the seasons change.

Until further evidence has been discovered and confirmed, it is impossible at this stage to say for sure what causes seasonal hair loss. But it has at least been proven that hair loss is possible. Therefore, we need to take the necessary steps to avoid it.

How Can I Stop Seasonal Hair Loss?

The best way to stop any type of hair loss is to understand what is causing it and then follow the recommended treatments to stop it. Here are some tips for seasonal hair loss.

Brittle and dry hair is more susceptible to damage and breakage. Therefore, it is important to keep your hair moisturized. Using the proper conditioner is the best option for keeping your hair hydrated and properly moisturized. This is probably the most important step in making sure that you protect your hair from shedding during the warmer months.

A good way to determine your overall health is from your diet. Therefore, if you have started to notice frequent shedding, a change in your diet may be the answer that you are looking for. Protein is necessary for keeping your hair glossy and strong. So this winter and spring, be sure to increase your intake of eggs, chicken, and nuts so that you’ll have a healthy head of hair in time for summer and fall.

If you have noticed an increase in your hair loss and it is very noticeable that your hair is thinning or bald, most likely something else is causing hair loss.
