🍂 Saskatchewan, is your hair shedding because it’s fall… or is something else going on?
As our prairie temperatures drop, daylight hours shorten, and furnaces start running, you might notice changes in your hair and scalp.
But here’s something worth understanding.
Seasonal hair shedding is real. Research has identified seasonal variations in the human hair growth cycle, with some individuals experiencing increased shedding around late summer and autumn.
However, that doesn’t mean every increase in hair loss during October is seasonal.
And Saskatchewan’s climate brings another consideration: scalp barrier health.
Cold air, low humidity, and indoor heating can contribute to scalp dehydration, dryness, itching, and irritation.
But scalp dryness and increased hair shedding are two different concerns, and they shouldn’t automatically be attributed to the same cause.
At Rooted Trichology Clinic, we look deeper.
Through trichoscopy, scalp evaluation, and a detailed health history, we assess patterns and explore potential contributing factors.
Because while the seasons change, your hair loss deserves more than a seasonal assumption.
