When the seasons change — especially in spring and autumn — many people notice more hair on the brush. Don't panic: this is the well-known seasonal hair loss, a natural response of the body to changes in temperature, light and hormone levels.
In this article we look at why seasonal hair loss happens, how to tell it apart from concerning hair loss, and which herbs for hair growth are most effective.
Why does seasonal hair loss happen?
The hair grows actively and receives nutrients through the follicle.
Growth stops and the follicle contracts.
The old hair falls out naturally and makes room for new growth.
The reason is evolutionary. In summer the body keeps more hair to protect against the sun; in winter, against the cold. As we move into spring and autumn the growth cycle shifts and many follicles enter the resting (telogen) phase at once.
In addition, the lack of vitamins after winter and changes in melatonin and prolactin levels reinforce the process. Seasonal hair loss is temporary but calls for the right scalp care.
Seasonal hair loss: normal or concerning?
It is normal to lose 50 to 100 hairs a day. But if you notice thinning at the parting or temples, it is time to act. Key signs:
- Increased scalp sensitivity.
- Hair that looks lifeless and has lost its shine.
- A noticeable amount of hair in the shower drain.
To stop the process, focus on nourishing the follicles directly from the root.
The best herbs against seasonal hair loss
Nature is the best pharmacist for hair recovery. Here are the ingredients to look for:
- Wild nettle: The most powerful remedy against hair loss. It improves circulation and delivers iron and silicon.
- Rosemary: Rosemary essential oil works very effectively by stimulating cell regeneration.
- Clary sage: Ideal for balancing an oily scalp and soothing irritation.
Home rituals to stimulate growth
Besides the right cosmetics, a scalp massage can work wonders. Just 5 minutes a day activate microcirculation and let the active ingredients penetrate deeper. Natural hair care makes sure you don't clog the pores with silicones and parabens.
