Why do we lose more hair in spring?

As inautumnSpring is a transitional season for the body. After winter, when the body slows down, the change of season kick-starts metabolic activity. As a result, hair follicles enter a renewal phase, resulting in temporary hair loss.

You should know that each hair follows a life cycle made up of three phases:

The anagen (growth) phase
The catagen (resting) phase
The telogen phase (shedding)

In spring, many hairs enter the telogen phase at the same time, causing more hair loss. This phenomenon is perfectly normal and affects both women and men. On average, we lose between 50 and 100 hairs per day, but this number can double during this time.

However, certain causes can amplify this natural phenomenon: stress, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, or even fatigue accumulated at the end of winter. This is why it is essential to strengthen your skincare habits when spring arrives.

The importance of a balanced diet to limit hair loss

Before you even think about hair care, start withtake care of your plate. Hair is a direct reflection of your inner health. An unbalanced diet or one lacking in essential nutrients can weaken the hair fiber and make your hair more brittle,duller…and more prone to falling.

To strengthen your hair and prevent seasonal hair loss, choose:

Proteins: These are essential for keratin, the main component of hair. Think eggs, fish, legumes, or even tofu.
Iron: Essential for transporting oxygen to hair follicles. Found in red meat, legumes, and spinach.
Zinc: a key trace element to limit hair loss andstimulate growth. Present in seafood, seeds or whole grains.
Vitamins A, D and E: they promote cell regeneration and healthy hair.

Spring and its seasonal fruits and vegetables are your allies for stocking up on nutrients. Don't forget to stay hydrated, too. Drinking at least 1.5 liters of water per day is essential to keeping your hair supple and strong.

If necessary, you can also opt for natural food supplements, rich in vitamins, minerals and essential amino acids.

Choosing a suitable brush to protect your hair

We can never repeat it enough: agood brushingis a simple but fundamental gesture for the health of your hair. And in spring, it is even more important to choosethe right brushin order not to accentuate the seasonal fall.

Choose a brush that gently detangles without breaking or pulling out hair. Brushes withsoft spikes, or those innatural boar bristles,are ideal for respecting the hair fiber. Brushing also helps distribute the natural oils produced by the scalp throughout the hair, which helps to nourish and protect it.

Another tip: use a massage brush, which stimulates microcirculation in the scalp. A well-irrigated scalp promotes growth and strengthens the roots. A few minutes of daily massage can make a real difference.

Remember to clean your brush regularly to prevent the buildup of impurities, which could further weaken your hair.

Don't panic: spring hair loss is temporary. Once the adjustment period is over, your hair will return to its normal cycle. The most important thing is to adopt the right habits now to limit breakage.

Focus on a balanced diet, gentle care, proper brushing, and take care of your scalp daily. You can also enhance your routine with natural food supplements if needed.
