Hair loss in spring: real causes and how to treat it effectively

Hair loss in spring is one of the most frequent reasons for visits to the pharmacy. Many people notice a significant increase in hair loss, especially when showering or brushing, which causes concern.

However, in most cases it is a physiological process known as seasonal telogen effluvium.

The hair cycle: understanding it so you don't panic

Each hair goes through three phases:

• Growth phase

• Transition phase

• Falling phase

In spring, a greater proportion of hairs enter the shedding phase at the same time, making the loss more visible.

Why does hair loss increase in spring?

• Several factors are involved:

• Changes in sunlight: The variation in hours of light influences the hair cycle.

• Accumulated oxidative stress: Hair may be weakened after winter.

• Hormonal changes: These directly affect the hair follicle.

• Nutritional deficiencies: Especially iron, zinc and B vitamins.

How to tell the difference between a normal hair loss and a worrying one

It's normal:

• Increased hair loss over 4 to 6 weeks

It should be monitored if:

• It lasts more than 2 months

• There is a loss of density

• Unpopulated areas appear

Effective treatment: a comprehensive approach

1. Topical treatments

Lotions or ampoules that stimulate the follicle and improve circulation.

2. Supplementation

Hair needs key nutrients:

• Biotin

• Zinc

• Iron

• Amino acids

We recommend Kobho products.

3. Scalp care

A healthy scalp is essential for strong hair.

4. Lifestyle habits

• Reduce stress

• Sleep well

• Balanced diet

Spring hair loss is, in most cases, temporary. With the right approach, hair regains its balance.
