Hair loss in autumn: What is the truth about seasonal hair loss?

Many men know the phenomenon: As summer comes to an end, suddenly more hairs seem to be in the brush or on the pillow. But what is behind it? Is it serious hair loss or is "seasonal hair loss" a completely normal phenomenon? Below you will learn how to recognize seasonal hair loss, what causes may underlie it, and how you can specifically support your hair roots in autumn. How can you recognize seasonal hair loss? When men lose more hair in autumn, it is usually noticeable through increased shedding when showering or combing. Typical signs: û You notice more hair in the sink, on the pillow, or in your hand. û The hair loss is diffuse, affecting the entire scalp evenly. û The increased shedding lasts only a few weeks and usually stabilizes on its own. Important: If hair loss lasts longer or clearly visible thinning spots appear, a medical examination should definitely be carried out, as it can also be hereditary or disease-related hair loss. Why do more hairs fall out in autumn? Research suggests that seasonal fluctuations in hair growth actually exist. Especially in late summer and autumn, the number of hairs in the so-called telogen phase (resting phase before shedding) reaches its peak. Reasons for this can be: û UV radiation in summer: Intense sun exposure stresses the hair roots. û Hormonal fluctuations: Hair growth is influenced by hormonal processes that are subject to seasonal changes. û Stress factors: Heat, vacation adjustments, and the transition to the dark season can additionally strain the body and scalp. û The result: In autumn, men seem to suffer more frequently from increased hair loss – even if in many cases it is a temporary phenomenon. What men can do for their hair now Even if seasonal hair loss is usually not a cause for concern, you can actively support your hair roots and promote healthy hair growth. ü Pay attention to a balanced diet with sufficient vitamins and trace elements (e.g., iron, zinc, biotin). ü Avoid excessive stress and ensure enough sleep. ü Regularly care for the scalp to promote blood circulation and nutrient supply.
