Seasonal hair loss: how fall affects your textured hair

Each fall, do you notice more hair in your brush, in the shower or on your pillowcase?

Don’t panic: you may be experiencing seasonal hair loss, a natural phenomenon… that can be reduced with the right steps.

Why do we see more loss in fall ?

Hair has a life cycle, and in fall some of it enters a resting phase (telogen phase), before falling out to make way for new hair. This cycle is influenced by :

The change of season and the drop in natural light,
Stress from returning to a busy routine (back-to-school, faster pace, etc.)
A diet less rich in vitamins,
And above all, a tired or unbalanced scalp, which is often forgotten in hair routines.

Textured hair, by nature drier and more fragile, is also more prone to breakage. This can give the impression of even greater hair loss.

Hair loss or breakage: understanding the difference

For curly, coily hair or tight curls, it’s crucial to make the difference between genuine hair loss (hair that has fallen out with its bulb) and hair breakage (hair that has broken due to a lack of hydratation, excessive handling or tight hairstyles).

A healthy scalp helps retain the fibre better and encourages faster, denser and healthier regrowth.

Why is taking care of your scalp so important during this time?

We often talk about length, curls and hydration… but rarely about the scalp. Yet the scalp plays a fundamental role in hair:

It’s often drier or more sensitive,
It is sometimes suffocated by product residues (oils, leave-ins, gels, etc.),
And its balance can be easily upset.

A clean, oxygenated and well-stimulated scalp = hair that grows optimally and falls out less.
