The sight of spring hair loss and stray hair strands can be alarming for anyone. Typically, we lose 50-100 strands of hair per day, but this number may increase in spring. Why does this happen? Read our blog to find out what you can do to combat spring hair loss and regain a voluminous hair crown!

WHY DOES SPRING HAIR LOSS OCCUR?

Spring hair loss is a natural biological process that has evolved over time. But why does our hair fall out more intensely in spring?

DUE TO BIOLOGICAL CHANGES IN THE BODY

The lifespan of hair follicles is cyclical. During the winter months, the hair is in a resting phase, then becomes more active in spring. This change results in increased hair loss.

DUE TO LIGHT AND TEMPERATURE

Longer days and warmer weather can affect the hair follicles. Hair loss may also increase during this time.

DUE TO HORMONAL CHANGES

Changes in daylight hours, temperature, and other environmental factors can lead to hormonal fluctuations that negatively affect hair growth.

DUE TO VITAMIN DEFICIENCY

During the winter months, the body receives less sunlight, which can lead to a decrease in vitamin D levels. Vitamin D is important for hair health, as its deficiency can cause hair loss.

ALOPECIA OR SPRING HAIR LOSS?

If you feel that your hair loss is stronger than usual or more significant than in previous spring seasons, you may wonder if some scalp problem is causing the hair loss. If you want to learn more about alopecia, read our previous blog on the topic!

Here’s how to distinguish spring hair loss from alopecia:

If you’re losing just a little more hair than usual, it’s probably spring hair loss. However, if you experience excessive hair loss, thinning, or bald patches, it could be a sign of alopecia.

If hair loss occurs in a few, patchy areas of the scalp, it’s more likely to be alopecia. In contrast, spring hair loss usually equally affects the entire scalp.

If there has been a history of abnormal hair loss in the family, there’s a greater chance of developing alopecia. Of course, nothing is certain, so it’s worth looking into.

If you experience itching, burning, or pain along with hair loss, it’s more likely a sign of alopecia.

If you suspect that something else may be causing your hair loss based on these signs, it’s worth visiting a hair specialist to determine the cause and receive proper treatment. Find the nearest hair specialist at our reference salons!

HOW TO DEAL WITH SPRING HAIR LOSS?

When facing the frustrating phenomenon of seasonal hair loss, one of the first questions we seek an answer to is its duration. How long will it last? On average, this hair loss “type” lasts for a few weeks, but its duration and intensity can be significantly decreased by a few simple steps.

Here are 6 tips to help you quickly combat spring hair loss and regain the fullness of your hair.

#1. GENTLE YET EFFECTIVE CLEANSING

The foundation of a healthy scalp is proper cleansing, and the basis of lush hair is a healthy scalp. The first step is to select the right shampoo that cleanses without drying out the scalp, as this can lead to further hair loss.

TIP: Shampoo twice to remove all buildup from your scalp.

#2. BALANCED NUTRITION

Support hair regeneration by ensuring proper nutrient intake. Consume foods rich in B vitamins, such as eggs, legumes, and nuts. Additionally, A and C vitamins are recommended, as they help maintain hair health.

It may also be beneficial to supplement your diet with some dietary supplements, as it can be challenging to obtain certain vitamins and minerals in the right quantities from food alone.

#3. HAIR GROWTH PROMOTING PRODUCTS

During this time, adding some hair loss-specific products to your routine can boost hair regeneration. These can essentially be oils or sprays containing active ingredients and a blend of natural extracts to combat spring hair loss and accelerate hair growth.

TIP: Combine these products with scalp massage. While sitting in front of the TV, gently massage your scalp for about 10 minutes, as this stimulates blood circulation and aids in the penetration of active ingredients.

ALL IN TIP: COMBATING SPRING HAIR LOSS WITH OXYGEN THERAPY

Oxygen therapy has been proven effective in treating hair loss by supplying proper oxygen, vitamins, and minerals to the hair follicles, revitalizing them. As a result, hair strands strengthen and thicken, while the scalp clears and regains its balance. The treatment typically consists of 5-10 sessions and is best combined with an at-home hair care routine for maximum effectiveness. Oxygen therapy can help with various types of hair loss, such as male pattern baldness, hormonal hair loss, autoimmune hair loss, diffuse hair loss, and alopecia. And, of course, it’s effective against spring hair loss too!

Spring hair loss is temporary and usually resolves on its own over time. However, if it appears intensively, it’s worth consulting a professional. Remember, the health of your hair depends on a combination of internal and external factors. Take care of it and enjoy the spring sunshine!
