Has your hair loss gotten worse recently? Don’t worry. It could be seasonal hair loss. Experts have discovered that autumn and winter are the peak seasons for hair loss, and most hair loss is a normal physiological phenomenon.
So, what might worsen your hair loss problem? Why do people lose more hair during autumn?
The Causes of Hair Loss
Hormonal changes
Estrogen helps hair grow and keeps them on the head, but androgen will make hair fall off. A high androgen level and a low estrogen level can often lead to hair loss. Moreover, too much or too little thyroxine secreted by the thyroid may disrupt the hair growth cycle and induce hair loss.
Lack of nutrients
Hair requires a lot of micronutrients to grow. If you are on a diet, you may not receive enough daily nutrients to support your hair growth and lose more hair as a result.
Stress
Excessive stress is a common cause of hair loss. Stress, depression, anxiety, and insomnia can all cause neurological disorders, which will make capillaries shrink. Consequently, the hair follicles cannot get sufficient blood supply, and the hair is most likely to fall off.
Medications or therapies
Some medications, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy will cause hair loss as a side effect.
What Causes Hair Loss in Autumn?
Although autumn is not as hot as summer, the UV index in autumn is actually higher. In addition, as the temperature drops in autumn, the capillaries on your head will shrink, and the hair follicles will receive less blood and nutrition. Therefore, new hair grows slower, making hair loss more obvious.
Fortunately, this hair loss is reversible. In autumn and winter, new hair cannot grow as fast as it does during warm days, but it will gradually grow when spring comes.
4 Ways to Reduce Seasonal Hair Loss
Take in more nutrients
Eat more minerals and vitamins such as iron, calcium, zinc, and protein-rich foods. Seaweed, shellfish, spinach, asparagus, bananas, pork, and livers are all perfect options for hair care and delaying aging.
Keep hair clean
Choose a shampoo that is non-irritating to the scalp and hair. Hair washing is not necessary every day. Every 2-5 days is a good frequency.
Avoid perming or dyeing your hair
Perming and dyeing use chemical agents that will undoubtedly damage the hair during the process. They may or may not cause hair loss, but if you already have the problem, better not make it worse.
