Every year, it's the same story: leaves fall... and so does your hair. Don't panic. Seasonal hair loss in autumn is a common and usually temporary phenomenon. But that doesn't mean you have to endure it without acting. Here's what you need to know to limit this loss and support healthy regrowth.
Why do we lose more hair in autumn?
Autumn hair loss is linked to the natural hair life cycle, influenced by seasonal factors:
In summer, hair stays longer in the growth phase (anagen), stimulated by the sun and blood circulation.
In autumn, many hair follicles enter the resting phase (telogen), which leads to more noticeable hair loss, especially between September and November.
This phenomenon can be exacerbated by:
Back-to-school stress,
Post-summer fatigue,
Vitamin or mineral deficiencies (especially iron, zinc, vitamin D),
Unsuitable or overly aggressive hair care.
What to do to limit hair loss?
Adopt a gentle hair care routine
Avoid harsh shampoos, aggressive brushing, or overly tight hairstyles.
Opt for fortifying shampoos and silicone-free treatments.
Do Scalp massages 2 to 3 times a week to stimulate microcirculation.
Introduce a targeted anti-hair loss serum
An anti-hair loss serum is a powerful ally in the fight against seasonal hair loss. For example, ARGOLD's Anti-Hair Loss Treatment, based on 7 vegetable oils, including argan, castor, and avocado, combines regenerating active ingredients to strengthen hair anchoring, slow down hair loss, and stimulate regrowth.
It combines 7 powerful plant active ingredients:
Argan oil: nourishes and protects the scalp,
Aloe vera extract: soothes, moisturizes, and supports cell regeneration,
Fenugreek oil: known for its fortifying and stimulating properties,
Castor oil: promotes growth and thickens the hair fiber,
Garlic extract: purifies the scalp and activates microcirculation,
Avocado oil: rich in vitamins, strengthens and softens,
Ylang-ylang essential oil: tones and regulates sebum production.
If your hair lengths are also weakened by the season, you can complete your routine with treatments designed for dry, dull, or dehydrated hair: hyaluronic acid, to provide more suppleness, comfort, and hydration to the hair fiber.
Recommended usage:
Apply a few drops directly to clean, dry (or slightly damp) scalp,
Massage gently to penetrate,
Leave on without rinsing,
Use daily or 3 to 4 times a week for at least 6 to 8 weeks for visible results.
Additionally, knowing how to properly use a hair mask can also make a difference to nourish hair lengths, limit breakage, and support more resilient hair during this period.
Monitor your lifestyle
Get enough sleep.
Reduce stress, which promotes hair loss.
Adopt a balanced diet rich in proteins, vitamins, and essential fatty acids.
Should you be concerned?
Losing 50 to 100 hairs per day is normal. In autumn, this figure can temporarily double without being pathological.
But if hair loss:
Lasts more than 3 months,
Reveals sparse areas,
Is accompanied by itching, dandruff, or hair breaking at the root,
then a dermatological consultation or with a hair specialist is recommended.
In conclusion
Hair loss in autumn is a common phase, but not an inevitability. With an adapted routine, a targeted diet, and a little patience, hair will regain its natural density. The key word: gentle and regular prevention.
