For centuries hair has been aesthetically crucial for everyone. Our hair changes our look and mood. Therefore, hair loss could be a significant problem for some.
Hair loss in autumn increased more than other seasons. The reason for this is the sudden changes in the air temperature and the humidity. Not only air and moisture are reasons for hair loss in autumn.
The end of the summer holiday with the start of monotonous city life, daily strenuous work, traffic stress, school stress and work stress accelerate hair loss. However, this situation is seasonal, and after a while, this shedding decreases spontaneously. If it continues, you should consult a doctor.
How do you know your hair loss is seasonal?
The daily hair loss rate is approximately 50-100 hair strands. With seasonal changes, this number can double.
You can do a simple test yourself to see if your hair loss is seasonal. For this test, your hair should not be washed for at least three days. First, take your fingers back from the front line of your hair. Then, put the hair from your hand on a piece of paper and repeat this movement five times.
If you have less than ten strands of hair: everything is fine, and this hair loss is quite healthy. If there are 10-15 hairs: It can be said that seasonal hair loss begins. More than 15 strands of hair loss may be an indication of a health problem.
What can you do to prevent hair loss in autumn?
When the autumn comes, it is time to care for the hair that has worn out in the summer. Sea, pool and sun cause the hair to weaken, dry and wear. It is possible to get healthy hair with simple techniques and recommendations.

During transitions of the seasons, especially at the end of summer, the hair becomes dry, dull and challenging to comb from the sun, sea, water, chlorine and frequent use of shampoo. We can feed our hair with valuable oils like coconut and argan oil. Cover your hair with a warm towel between 1-2 hours and then wash it with shampoo. While shampooing, you can increase the blood circulation by massaging the scalp every time.
Washing hair daily with shampoo can damage the natural structure of the scalp. It causes it to produce more oil. You must wash your hair twice a week. If you are working in a very dirty environment or if there is sweating with sports every day, then you should wash more frequently with less shampoo.
