Autumn is a season that brings us beautiful landscapes with golden leaves and cooler temperatures, but it is also the time when many people notice increased hair loss.

This phenomenon, known as “seasonal telogen effluvium”, can be worrying, but understanding why it happens and what measures we can take, including the use of anti-hair loss products, can help us deal with it effectively.

Why does hair fall out in autumn?

Hair loss in autumn is a fairly common phenomenon and is related to several factors. To better understand hair loss in autumn, it is important to understand the hair growth cycle. Hair is renewed by going through a cycle of three phases that repeats itself constantly:

• The growth phase (anagen)
• The transition phase (catagen)
• The resting phase (telogen).

During the telogen phase, the hair is in a resting state and eventually falls out to be replaced by new hair that begins to grow in the anagen phase.

The duration of the hair growth cycle varies from person to person, but on average and under healthy conditions, approximately 10-15% of hair is in the telogen phase at any given time. This means that we lose a small amount of hair every day, which is considered normal. If this percentage increases, we need to assess what is happening.

• Seasonal changes

Seasonal changes, such as the transition from summer to autumn, can influence the hair growth cycle.

It has been observed that in autumn, a greater amount of hair enters the telogen phase. This may be due to factors such as changes in temperature and the number of hours of daylight, which can affect the timing of the hair cycle.

• Stress and lifestyle

Stress and lifestyle changes can also contribute to hair loss in autumn.

Chronic stress, lack of sleep, an unbalanced diet and other factors can negatively affect hair health and cause it to enter the telogen phase earlier than expected.

What can I do to combat hair loss in autumn?

If you notice increased hair loss in autumn, do not worry, there are steps you can take to minimise its impact and promote healthy hair, including using Pilopeptan products:

• Maintain a balanced diet

A rich and balanced diet is essential for healthy hair. Make sure to include protein, vitamins, amino acids, and minerals in your diet.

Foods such as eggs, fish, nuts, spinach, and carrots are rich in essential nutrients to help you maintain strong, healthy hair.

• Adequate hydration

Hydration is key to maintaining hair elasticity and preventing breakage when combing. Dry hair tends to break more easily. Drinking enough water and using products that nourish the hair fibre will help prevent dryness and brittleness.

• Avoid stress

Stress can be a major trigger for hair loss. Practising relaxation techniques such as meditation, yoga or regular exercise can help reduce stress and prevent it from affecting your hair.
