Hair health experts address seasonal hair loss in autumn
Experts are addressing the increase in seasonal hair loss often observed during autumn. This phenomenon, known as seasonal telogen effluvium, occurs when a higher proportion of hair follicles enter the shedding phase simultaneously, often following the summer season.
Dermatologists note that while this process is typically a natural and reversible cycle, certain symptoms such as hair falling out in clumps, scalp itching, or localized thinning may indicate underlying issues like stress, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, or alopecia.
To manage hair health during this period, specialists recommend specific hygiene habits. These include using conditioner only from mid-lengths to ends to avoid weighing down fine hair, opting for sulfate-free shampoos, and avoiding very hot water during showers, as high temperatures can dry out the hair fiber and increase breakage. Some brands are also offering AI-driven scalp diagnostics and specialized serums to aid recovery.
