Why hair loss increases in autumn and how to protect your hair

Have you noticed that you lose more hair in autumn? This is common and has to do with the natural way our body adapts to the changing seasons, which affects hair growth. Just like leaves fall from the trees in this season, the same can happen to your hair. Read on to discover why this happens and what you can do to make your hair stronger. 

Why do you lose more hair in autumn?
Our hair growth has different phases: the growth phase, the resting phase and the shedding phase. In summer, hair often grows faster, partly thanks to the extra vitamin D from sunlight and as protection against the sun's rays. When autumn arrives and the days get shorter, more hairs move into the shedding phase, which leads to more hair loss during this period. So this is completely normal and almost everyone experiences it.

The facts about hair loss in autumn

• Seasonal hair loss: We mainly see this natural phenomenon in autumn, and it has been observed for centuries.
• Hormonal changes: The transition from summer to autumn brings hormonal fluctuations that can trigger hair loss.
• Vitamin D deficiency: With less sunlight, your body makes less vitamin D. This affects hair growth, so you can be more prone to hair loss.
• Dry air and cold weather: Dry, cold air can dry out both your hair and your scalp, leading to more fragile hair and a higher risk of breakage.
