You have probably already noticed that in autumn hair loss intensifies! How does the season affect hair loss and what are the solutions to limit it?
Seasonality effect
It's proven ! In autumn we lose 2 to 4 times more hair, the explanation is rather simple. In summer, the sun and the heat accelerate the growth, so there is a greater number of hairs reaching the end of their life at the beginning of the fall. The season is not the only aggravating factor in hair loss. Throughout the year, certain bad habits are to be banished to avoid hair loss.
Aggravating factors
The use of aggressive products
Dyes, hairspray, dry shampoo or shampoos containing silicone are one of the main causes of weakening and therefore loss of your hair. Opt for vegetable colorings and gentle products with a neutral PH.
Cigarette
Tobacco has a detrimental effect on hair growth and promotes hair loss by damaging the hair genome. For these reasons and thousands of others, the ideal is to stop.
The heat
The hair dryer, straighteners and any other heating device weaken the hair, making it brittle and therefore it falls out more easily. The ideal is natural drying and styling, if you persist in using electrical appliances, prefer steam appliances which are less harmful to the hair.
stress and hormones
Hormonal changes or stress can also be one of the causes of hair loss. Take time to relax and take care of yourself. During hormonal changes, it is advisable to consult a specialist if the loss is too great.
The solutions
Fortunately, there are solutions to maintain good hair health! L'Artisan Brossier has gathered the tips for you:
Limit hair loss
Brushing
A good brushing allows to preserve a hair iron health, conversely it can be the cause of a significant loss of hair. When wet your hair is very vulnerable, brushing it at this time is the best way to lose a lot of it. Let them dry naturally then brush them, be careful however to brush them, always downwards, starting with the tips and going up little by little to the root otherwise, otherwise you risk tearing them at each knot. If you want to brush them while still wet, use a wide-toothed wooden comb to avoid sensitizing the fiber and pulling too much on your hair.
The night

Use a brush made of natural components like wood that is much softer for the hair. The must have is the pure boar brush.
