Hair Fall: How Can I Prevent It?

Hair fall or hair shedding is very common. If you find you shed more hair in the Autumn or Winter, it's completely normal. It's a seasonal thing!

Weather can cause an increase in hair fall during both autumn & winter months. On average, 50-100* of your hairs can shed in just one day, however this number can increase when temperatures fall.

There’s no reason as to why this happens as of yet. However studies have been undertaken that show there is a connection between peak hair growth during the summer & more frequent shedding in colder climes. It’s believed that during the summer, your hair protects your scalp from the sun and therefore sheds less.

Bear in mind that hair fall is very different to hair loss. Shedding will be a temporary matter that can last a few weeks and hair will eventually get back to normal fullness & thickness. If the matter continues and your hair feels like it’s getting thinner, it might indicate that you have a chronic hair loss issue. If concerned – make an appointment with your doctor to find out more information.

How Can I Care for My Hair Fall During Colder Climes?

Make sure you treat any underlying issues that may contribute to excess hair fall. Dry hair is more prone to breakage, and therefore more likely to fall. This could be caused by the higher temperature central heating systems drying the hair out. So, to treat this issue, adding moisture to your hair is essential. Pureology Hydrate Superfood Treatment Mask is not only a weekly pamper treat & a much loved #TeamGorgeous product but also adds moisture to dry hair. Using nutrients like coconut & avocado oils, it gives hair a boost of moisture that it is craving!

Frequent hair colouring can lead to damaged hair & can add to seasonal shedding. The Strength Cure regime by Pureology is made with keravis, ceramide & arginine (proteins & amino acids). This range can help strengthen weak & brittle hair.

If you’re wanting to improve the thickness of your hair whilst you wait for Winter to pass, why not try Fullfyl Densifying Spray? By using PhytoBlend, a protein that comes from plants, it helps to plump up hair strands & boost volume.
