Autumn is the time of leaf fall, rainfall - lingering cold rains. Many people have questions regarding how normal this is.
Is it worth the alarm because of hair falling out in the fall? In order to understand this in detail, it is worth considering the mechanisms due to which this is happening.
Hair life cycle
Each of the hairs on the human body has its own life cycle, during which it is born, grows and dies. There are three stages in total - the appearance of hair from a bulb with subsequent very rapid growth, after which growth stops and gradually stops altogether. The third stage is peace, after three months of lack of growth, the hair bulb contracts, the hair falls out on its own.
Nature conceived so that many hairs fall precisely in the fall, for natural reasons, due to aging. Over the summer, they manage to get numerous damage due to increased ultraviolet radiation, overdrying, for other legitimate reasons. In the fall, old hair simply falls out to give way to new, stronger and more viable ones that can keep warm in winter.
Increased hair loss in autumn is observed by all, just not all people concentrate on this. The duration of this period is personal for each person, there is no single indicator here.
Interesting fact: at Normally, a person drops about 100 hairs per day. It is worth worrying only if this indicator is significantly increased.
Why did my hair fall out too much?
More severe hair loss is observed in men - it can occur up to baldness, to which the male population has an increased tendency. Women are more fortunate in this regard, significant hair loss for them is very rare. However, in the fall a strong fall can cause chores to women.
Interesting fact: In the fall, estrogen, the sex hormone, decreases in women. So laid down by nature. A decrease in estrogen can trigger hair loss - this is also normal, with the return of hormonal balance, active growth of young hairs will begin.
If the hair falls out too much, you need to think about what additional factors can influence the process. The role is played by stresses, which are so characteristic for autumn - depression and overload can cause increased hair loss. Sometimes loss occurs due to persistent, severe colds - diseases weaken the body.
In the fall, again, people catch a cold especially often. Antibiotics and other medicines that are commonly used to fight colds cause the loss. And you can “catch a cold” in the hair itself. If you like to walk without a hat, ignore the wind and cold - you provoke hair loss.
Vitamin deficiency also contributes to baldness. If you haven’t followed your summer diet,and by autumn there was an exacerbation of vitamin deficiency - hair loss can not be avoided. Food should always be balanced. In general, hair loss can be triggered by one of the following problems:
- Hormonal malfunctions and inversions,
- Vitamins,
- Metabolic problems,
- Allergies, skin diseases,
- Gastrointestinal problems.
If the loss occurs at an increasing rate, or the hair falls out en masse and the losses are not reduced, it is worthwhile to undergo an examination to find out if there are any related health problems.
How to minimize hair loss in the fall?
Strong hair loss in any case requires the discovery of the causes, contact the local therapist, and if necessary, the trichologist. If diseases accompanied by this symptom are detected, it is necessary to undergo treatment immediately - then the hair will begin to recover. It is also worth analyzing if you are using a new shampoo or hair care product. It is not for nothing that Indian women, who are famous for their magnificent hair, say that hair care can be carried out only with those products that can be eaten.
Hair is sensitive and hair loss may begin due to some commonplace reason. Change of shampoo or rinse aid, a visit to the hairdresser, where they used some new product for you, and even the rain with contaminants that you come under - all factors can cause hair loss.
If the loss just intensified a little and does not cause much concern, it makes sense to use cosmetics to strengthen the hair, care for them. Shampoo alone will not resolve the issue. It is worth buying balms and masks, using them according to the instructions.It makes sense to refuse to wash your hair with hard chlorinated water, from dyeing your hair and ironing for the time of loss. A comb is worth choosing a wooden one.
In autumn, you need to wear a hat to protect your hair from wind, cold, rain. The cut ends of the hair should be cut, so you stimulate hair growth. And it’s worth doing a head massage. All this will help stop hair loss and accelerate hair restoration.
