Understanding seasonal shedding and proven treatments to restore your confidence

Key Benefits: ✓ MHRA Regulated | ✓ Trusted Treatments | ✓ Expert Support

🌟 The Autumn Hair Truth

Noticing more hair in your brush this September? You're experiencing a completely normal phenomenon called seasonal shedding. Research shows that hair loss searches in the UK rise by nearly 400% in autumn, but the good news is that proven treatments like Regaine for Women, Regaine for Men, and Finasteride can help you regain control.

Why Autumn Triggers Hair Loss

Autumn is nature's season of letting go, and your hair loss follows this natural rhythm. A long-term study published in the British Journal of Dermatology found that the number of shed hairs peaks in late summer and early autumn, with participants losing about 60 hairs per day—more than double that during winter.

📊 Seasonal Hair Shedding Pattern

Based on clinical research across multiple studies

Normal range: Up to 200 hairs/day during peak autumn shedding

Key Contributing Factors:

• ☀️ Reduced Sunlight: Lower vitamin D affects hair growth hormones

• 🔄 Hair Cycle Shift: More follicles enter resting phase

• 🌡️ Environmental Stress: Cold air and heating damage strands

• ⚖️ Hormonal Changes: Seasonal hormone fluctuations

Understanding Hair Loss vs Seasonal Shedding

Seasonal Shedding (Temporary):

• Increase in hair fall during autumn

• Uniform across scalp

• Resolves naturally within 2-3 months

Pattern Hair Loss (Progressive):

• Thinning in specific areas (temples, crown for men; central parting for women)

• Requires treatment

When to Seek Help:

• Hair loss continuing beyond 3 months

• Visible thinning or bald patches appearing
