As the life cycle of hair<\/a> proves, the follicles found on your head and all over the body are in a constant state of growth and shedding, with the average person losing around 50 to 100 hairs every day<\/a>. But what happens when your usual shedding seems like so much more?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many people will be asking this very question in the days and weeks to come, with seasonal shedding at its peak between late summer and early autumn. Here dermatologist Emily Wise Shanahan<\/a> explains more about the causes of seasonal shedding:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere is evidence that people can note increased shedding in the late fall and winter months. The thought here is that perhaps in the summer months, we hang on to more hair to provide increased protection from the sun\u2026 A few months after, when we begin shifting into late fall and early winter, those hairs that we held onto during summer will make a transition into the shed phase.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As your scalp makes space for a thicker mane in time for winter, your hair may be looking well past its prime as we transition from summer to autumn. Read on to discover our expert tips for stopping the shed, or at least reducing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speed up the shedding process – yes, really!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Getting your seasonal shed over and done with will certainly be on your mind, so help things along by increasing the frequency of those hair brushing or combing sessions. By preening your hair more often, you can remove the dead or dying hairs quickly and pave the way for new, healthier growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have naturally curly hair, spritz your fingers with water and use them to comb your hair through after brushing before leaving to air dry. This will encourage your curls to bounce back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opt for looser, scalp-friendly hairstyles<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Letting those dead hairs fall away freely is important for bringing your seasonal shedding phase to an end a little earlier. Looser hairstyles aren\u2019t just more comfortable to wear, they\u2019re extra gentle on your scalp. They also let loose hairs fall away without tangling in amongst new, healthier hairs to reduce the risk of damage and promote growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Give your hair a break from heat styling<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Limiting your hair\u2019s exposure to heat is another must for those looking to preserve their follicles for longer and minimise damage. Many stunning styles can be created without a hair dryer or straightener use. If you do have to use heat, adjust heated tools to their lowest setting and use heat protection sprays generously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Change the way you do things<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Keeping your hair and scalp as hydrated and nourished as possible will ensure your follicles remain fighting fit and produce the new, healthy growth you deserve. Deep conditioners are great options for combating seasonal shedding, whilst using aloe vera enhances scalp health<\/a> no-end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you eat and drink is also thought to help ease hair shedding. Make sure your hair receives the vitamins and minerals it needs to look and feel healthier, thicker and fuller by adding protein-rich eggs, iron-boosting leafy greens, and vitamin C-infused citrus fruits to your diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you can\u2019t change it, conceal it!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
