Is your hair falling out in the fall? Anti-hair loss routines and treatments

Before you book a flight to Turkey, we want to make it clear that seasonal hair loss is absolutely normal. It's the hair's way of regenerating, so to speak.

There are times when alarms can go off (because you feel like you've never lost so much hair or you've been like this for many months) and, in these cases, it's best to make an appointment with your dermatologist. Before that, however, we recommend you keep reading because, fortunately, in many cases, it's just a temporary scare.

Seasonal or autumn hair loss, what is it?

Each hair on your head will go through 4 phases, and one of them is the shedding phase; it's always like this, and this process is the same for everyone.

This is the cycle:

• The anagen phase is the growth phase and usually lasts between 3 and 5 years (depending on individual genetics). Unlike what happens in our childhood stories like Rapunzel, hair grows a maximum of between 35 and just over 70 cm.
• The telogen or "resting" phase usually lasts up to 3 months, during which the hair no longer grows but does not yet fall out.
• In the catagen or "transition" phase, the hair begins to detach from the follicle. It lasts less than two weeks.
• And, finally, the exogen or "shedding" phase, occurs when the hair completely detaches from the scalp and falls out.

Although it has not been scientifically proven that seasonal hair loss is necessarily related to the time of year, there are factors that significantly influence it, such as diet and lifestyle. This could mean that after summer (when our hair tends to be in an active growth phase), the hair "feels" it's time to regenerate.

Which months see the most hair loss and how long does it last?

As we've mentioned, it's not scientifically proven that there are months when more hair falls out than others. What happens is that in autumn, many of us experience a peak of hairs in the exogen phase (or shedding phase), also because we make changes in diet, lifestyle, etc. Hair is constantly growing and regenerating. There are times of the year when more hairs are in the exogen or shedding phase, but this period differs between individuals, although it is true that many experience it in autumn.

How to stop hair loss?

In The Lion King, we learned that everything in life has cycles, and our hair also has one: it's born, grows, and falls out to be born again. So, no matter how much we can extend the growth phase of our hair, it's also true that we can't do it forever. However, there are fantastic products on the market, like those from Schwarzkopf, that will do a lot for the health and density of your hair and, above all, will help new hair grow stronger and healthier. To maximize results, remember to take the time to massage your scalp thoroughly. This will promote product penetration and help reactivate blood circulation around the hair follicle, which, in turn, enhances scalp oxygenation, promotes hair nutrition, delays the dreaded hair loss we're talking about, etc.

Factors that help hair grow.

Some people are very lucky to be genetically blessed with amazing hair, but diet, lifestyle, and the hair products we choose can make a big difference.

These are the factors that contribute to how much a person's hair grows:

• Age: Who doesn't dream of having their three-year-old blonde hair back? Yes, as we get older, we grow less hair, and what does grow is worse: less pigment (gray hairs) and less thickness.
• Hormones: especially in women.
• Genetics: already decided before we were born, what can we do.
• Ethnicity: like eye color, skin color…
• Diet: and here we can start to change things, with a varied and healthy diet and paying special attention to minerals and vitamins.
• Lifestyle and stress: sleeping well and resting is excellent for everything. So there.

Anti-hair loss products

A deficient scalp condition and insufficient care are associated with problems such as dandruff, skin irritation, and fragile hair that breaks easily, lacks shine, and can even result in premature hair loss.

In this regard, the entire Bonacure Scalp Clinic line from Schwarzkopf has been formulated with one mission: to care for the scalp to ensure the future of your hair. And for that, the entire range benefits from the potential of the Superfood Complex: a combination of superfoods and skin care actives that help rebalance the scalp, the foundation for healthy, luscious hair.

Created by hair and scalp experts, Bonacure's scalp care range products have undergone dermatological testing to approve their use for different scalp needs.

Specifically, BC Bonacure root activating products contain guarana and biotin which, among other things, help stimulate hair follicles and contribute to increasing hair's strength and vitality, respectively.

The first step: the Root Activating Shampoo without sulfates for weakened hair. It cleans effectively, strengthening hair by up to 40%. In addition, it reduces non-pathological hair loss after 6 weeks of continuous use (regular use, combining Root Activating Shampoo and Root Activating Serum). You'll love it so much you'll want to use it every day, and the good news is it's specially formulated for daily use.

The second and final step: the Root Activating Serum, also for weakened hair, which, in addition to enhancing the effects of the shampoo, helps increase the production of HGF, Hair Growth Factor (regular use, combining Root Activating Shampoo and Root Activating Serum). We really like it because, besides all its benefits, it's a lightweight, non-greasy, and fast-absorbing formula. It is applied twice to damp or dry hair and does not need rinsing. It comes in two sizes (we've included both below in the photo, the price is similar): either 250 ml or 8x7 ml, which is specially designed for applying twice a day in sections.
