Why hair sheds more in autumn and how to support it naturally.
Autumn hair shedding is a seasonal phenomenon where hair falls out slightly more than usual during autumn. It is linked to the natural hair cycle and usually lasts a few weeks. Gentle scalp care with nettle and clary sage supports your hair during this season.
Why hair falls out more in autumn
Many people notice that more hairs remain on their brush in autumn. Autumn hair shedding is linked to the body's natural rhythms: after more intense sun exposure in summer, some hair follicles move into a resting phase, and in autumn these hairs fall out.
Changes in temperature and humidity also affect the scalp and hair during this season.

Autumn Hair Shedding: Is It Normal
In most cases, seasonal hair shedding is completely normal and temporary. Hair has a natural cycle of growth, rest and shedding, and autumn is often a period when more hairs reach the shedding phase at the same time.
This usually lasts a few weeks and does not lead to lasting thinning. If hair loss is severe and prolonged, consult a specialist.

Seasonal Change and the Hair Cycle
Every hair goes through a growth phase, a short transitional phase and a resting phase, after which it falls out and is replaced by a new one. In autumn, more hairs are in the shedding phase, which creates the sense of autumn hair shedding.
