As the world around us blossoms, you might notice a subtle shift in your hair. With the arrival of spring, some experience a temporary increase in hair strands coming out. This is a natural seasonal change, a moment of transition, a quiet release. And we’re here to gently guide you through it.

 Just like trees shedding their leaves, our hair also follows natural rhythms. As days grow longer and temperatures rise, our bodies adjust, sometimes leading to more hair losing strands. This is a normal part of the hair’s cycle, a gentle release that often comes with spring.

This springtime hair change is often linked to shifts in our bodies and the world around us. The change in daylight can influence our natural rhythms, and the warmer weather can affect our scalp.

 It’s important to remember this: hair losing strands in spring is often temporary, and we can support our hair through this phase with mindful care.

 

$What is Spring Shedding? 

The phenomenon of increased hair shedding - or hair loss - during the spring, often referred to as "spring shedding" or "seasonal telogen effluvium," is a complex issue influenced by several factors. 

 Here's a breakdown of the key reasons:   

 1. The Hair Growth Cycle and Hormonal Shifts:

Telogen Effluvium: Hair growth occurs in cycles: anagen (growth), catagen (transition), and telogen (resting). Telogen effluvium is a condition where a higher-than-normal number of hair follicles enter the telogen (resting) phase. Seasonal changes, particularly the increase in daylight and temperature, can trigger hormonal shifts that influence this cycle.   

Melatonin Levels: Melatonin, a hormone that regulates the hair growth cycle, is affected by light exposure. As daylight hours increase in spring, melatonin levels may decrease, potentially causing more hair follicles to enter the telogen phase.

 

2. Environmental Factors:

Temperature and Humidity: Changes in temperature and humidity can affect the scalp's oil production and moisture balance, impacting hair health. Increased sweating in warmer weather can also contribute to scalp buildup, which may lead to hair shedding.   

Sunlight Exposure: While sunlight is essential for vitamin D production, excessive UV exposure can damage hair follicles and contribute to hair loss.   

Allergies: Spring allergies can cause scalp inflammation and itching, which can weaken hair follicles and increase shedding.   

 

3. Other Contributing Factors:

Nutritional Deficiencies: Seasonal changes can sometimes affect dietary habits, and deficiencies in essential nutrients like iron, vitamin D, and zinc can contribute to hair loss.

Stress: Seasonal transitions can be stressful for some individuals, and stress is a known trigger for telogen effluvium.   

In essence, spring shedding is a complex interplay of hormonal fluctuations, environmental changes, and individual factors. While it's often a temporary and normal occurrence, understanding the underlying causes can help take proactive steps to maintain healthy hair.

 

Understanding Spring Shedding

Think of your hair like the seasons – it goes through cycles of growth, rest, and shedding. In spring, many people experience a shift in these cycles, leading to more hair falling out. While some shedding is perfectly normal, it can still be concerning.

 

What You Can Do:

Gentle Care is Key: Avoid harsh styling and tight hairstyles that can put extra stress on your hair. Opt for gentle cleansing and conditioning, avoiding sulfates.

Nourish From Within: A balanced diet rich in iron, vitamin D, and protein is essential for healthy hair growth.

Scalp Love: Your scalp is the foundation for healthy hair. Spring is the perfect time to give it some extra Love.
