Why Does Hair Fall Increase During Certain Seasons?

1. Seasonal Hair Fall

Ever notice more hair fall when the seasons change? Shifts in light, temperature, and humidity can quietly affect your hair's natural growth cycle.

2. Your Hair Has A Cycle

Each strand undergoes the process of growth, change, rest, and fall. Change in seasons can lead to more follicles entering the rest phase, hence resulting in hair fall.

3. Why Shedding Gets Delayed

Seasonal hair fall does not always appear immediately. Environmental changes can affect follicles first, while noticeable shedding may occur several weeks or months after the initial trigger.

4. Humidity Can Stress Your Scalp

The humidity of monsoon makes your scalp oily and sweaty, whereas dirt and moisture can cause dandruff or skin irritation. Cleaning your scalp is actually an effective method to provide good conditions to your hair.

5. Heat Can Weaken Strands

Too much sun and heat can leave your hair dry and prone to breaking. A little extra care while washing, conditioning, and styling can go a long way in keeping hair fall in check.

6. Add Nourishment With Oil

Scalp care can also include regular oiling when it suits your hair type. Hakim Suleman’s H Care Hair Oil can complement a simple routine focused on nourishing and caring for your hair.

8. Give Your Hair Some Slack

Seasonal shedding usually settles down on its own, but you can ease the load in the meantime skip tight ponytails, braids, or buns for a few weeks and let your scalp breathe. If thinning continues longer than expected, it's worth checking in with a dermatologist to understand what's really going on.
