Many people believe that due to changing weather conditions, hair begins to fall out. The experts told if this is so and why there is no need to worry.
Beautiful, healthy and shiny – this is the kind of hair every girl dreams of. But expectations sometimes diverge from reality, most often it happens in the fall, when the hair begins to fall out.
“In autumn, there is a natural period of weakening of the hairline, and all due to the sharp change in weather and a decrease in the level of female hormones estrogen. It is this hormone that affects hair growth, and in the fall it is in hibernation, so the hair begins to fall out, ”comments Svetlana Cherkasova, dermatovenerologist, trichologist of the Institute of Plastic Surgery and Cosmetology.
According to experts, severe hair loss depends on temperature conditions. Because of the cold, the blood vessels narrow, which disrupts the blood supply to the hair follicle. Blood, and with it nutrients, cease to flow to the bulbs, and the hair dies.
“Another reason for hair loss is the reduction in daylight hours, which results in less and less serotonin, which is responsible for a good mood, in the body. The increased agitation also constricts blood vessels, disrupting the blood supply to the hair follicles, ”explains Silvia Tsarukyan, stylist WELLA Podium Team.
In addition to seasonal hair loss, there can be hormonal disruptions. “The main signs are menstrual irregularities, a sharp change in the oily skin, the appearance of acne. If everything is the same, you need to go to a gynecologist, get tested for hormones and, together with the gynecologist, the trichologist will prescribe his own treatment, ”says Svetlana Cherkasova.
In folk medicine, there are many ways to improve the condition of the hair and get rid of hair loss. The most popular and simple method is a burdock oil mask, which promotes growth and thickens the curls.
“If hair is already falling out, I advise you to consult a trichologist and work on the problem from the inside (nutrition, vitamins, medications) and outside (cosmetics for hair loss, for example, the Resist line from Wella Professionals or Balance from System Professional). It is worth remembering that the choice of shampoos is individual and depends on the degree of hair loss, “advises Silvia Tsarukyan.
Svetlana Cherkasova recommends using injection techniques that will help to cope with hair loss: “Mesotherapy, platelet-rich plasma injections, and physiotherapy medicine will not only cope with seasonal problems, but also accelerate hair growth.”
