Fall hair loss - myth or reality? Is it just a seasonal phenomenon or a sign that something is missing? Fall can be a challenge for your scalp - but the good news is that there are simple ways to improve the situation.
Hair loss, why? Is hair especially sensitive in the fall?
The transition from summer to autumn often brings dryness, coldness and increased scalp sensitivity. Summer dries out hair due to strong UV radiation, sea salt or chlorine, while autumn's coolness and dry air additional stress on the hair fibers. The hair becomes inflexible, brittle and begins to accelerated to fall out.
The hair cycle also follows the seasons – after a period of growth in the summer, more hair naturally falls out in the fall. moves into the resting phase and consequently hair loss. Although losing a few dozen hairs every day is completely natural, excessive hair loss may indicate poor care or other influences that you should pay attention to.
Fewer protein products – be careful with keratin
Keratin masks and shampoos are often touted as a solution for hair restoration, but overuse can dry out your hair. Keratin creates a thin protective layer that prevents moisture from getting in. Without enough hydration, hair becomes brittle and lacks shine.
Solution? Protein products are best used occasionally, in combination with moisturizing products. This way, the balance between hair structure and moisture is maintained.
Thermal shaping should be the exception, not the rule
Frequent use of hair dryers, curling irons, or flat irons gradually damages your hair. High temperature It breaks down the natural proteins in your hair and causes breakage. If you do decide to heat style your hair, always use a heat protectant and choose a lower temperature (around 130-160°C), which is enough for gentle styling.
Styling your hair immediately after using dry shampoo is not recommended, as the product residue can dry out the hair fiber even more when heated.
More hydration – the key to a healthy glow
One of the most important ingredients for healthy-looking hair is moisture. Hair that is sufficiently hydrated is more flexible, less brittle, and more resistant to external influences. Treat yourself to a nourishing mask at least once a week.
Shea Butter – rich in vitamins and fatty acids
Avocado – contains natural oils and biotin
Glycerin – helps retain moisture in the hair structure
Aloe vera – full of antioxidants and vitamins A, C, E
Apply the mask to both the length and the scalp – this will stimulate nutrition from root to tip.
Regular trimming should be a routine, not a necessity
Regular trimming prevents the spread of split ends and keeps hair looking neat and healthy. If damage to the ends is not treated in time, breakage spreads towards the middle of the hair, causing more damage in the long run. Recommended visiting the hairdresser every 6–8 weeks, even if you want to maintain the length.
Let nutrition be your hidden ally
Hair health starts from within. A balanced diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B, iron and zinc has a significant impact on hair strength. Fatty fish, nuts, flax and chia seeds are excellent choices. At the same time, avoid strict diets – prolonged calorie deficits or carbohydrates often causes weakened, thinning hair.
