What is seasonal hair loss?

Typically, a person loses an average of 80-100 hairs a day, which does not significantly affect hair density. However, if this amount increases, it is necessary to consult a specialist to determine the causes of hair loss. Often, seasonal hair loss occurs in spring or autumn and lasts no more than 2 months. During this period, hair strands become thinner, brittle, and significant weakening is observed at the root.

Causes of seasonal hair loss

Seasonal hair loss can be related to several factors:

1. Weather changes – Cold or excessively hot temperatures, as well as high levels of ultraviolet rays, can damage hair follicles.

2. Vitamin and mineral deficiencies – Especially iron deficiency leads to hair weakening.

3. Decreased immunity – The body directs its main energy to the defense system, resulting in insufficient nutrition for hair follicles.

4. Stress and mental pressure – Strong nervous tension and chronic fatigue can exacerbate hair loss.

5. Effects of medications – Some medications, particularly antiviral drugs, can cause hair loss.

Measures against hair loss

1. Proper nutrition
To reduce hair loss, it is recommended to consume the following products:

• Iron-rich products: Red meat, liver, buckwheat, spinach.
  
• Vitamins and minerals: Vitamins B, A, D, biotin, and omega fatty acids.
  
• Protein-rich products: Fish, eggs, nuts, and legumes.
  

2. Lifestyle changes

• Regular physical activity improves blood circulation and nourishes hair follicles.
  
• Following a sleep schedule reduces stress.
  
• It is important to walk in fresh air and perform exercises that strengthen the nervous system.
  

3. Hair care

• Scalp massage: Regularly massaging the scalp improves blood circulation.
  
• Natural masks: Onion juice, mustard, or pepper infusions can be used to strengthen hair follicles.
  
• Cosmetic treatments: Plasma therapy, mesotherapy, and scalp cleansing stimulate hair growth.
  

4. Hair-specific cosmetic products

• Active growth stimulators: Components like aminexil and stemoxidine stimulate hair follicles.
  
• Blood circulation enhancers: Choose products containing red pepper, mint, and nicotinic acid.
  
• Nourishing agents: Products based on biotin, omega fatty acids, and plant root cells provide effective results.
  

To reduce seasonal hair loss, it is necessary to improve lifestyle, eat properly, and choose the right cosmetic products. If hair loss is increasing, it is recommended to consult a trichologist. Timely measures will help keep hair healthy and strong.
