Seasonal Hair Shedding: Why You Lose More Hair in Certain Months

Have you noticed more hair fall during monsoon or winter? You’re not alone. Many people experience increased hair loss during specific seasons—a condition known as seasonal hair shedding. While it may seem worrying, it’s usually a temporary and manageable phase.

In this blog, Dr. Abhishek Malviya, leading dermatologist and hair transplant surgeon at Radiant Skin Clinic, Indore, explains what causes seasonal hair fall and how you can reduce its impact.

What Is Seasonal Hair Shedding?

Seasonal hair shedding is a natural biological response where more hair than usual enters the telogen (resting) phase of the hair cycle. It is most common during:

Late summer to autumn (August to November)

Monsoon season (June to September)

People may lose 100–150 strands a day during these periods, compared to the usual 50–100.

Why Does It Happen?

Sunlight and Hormonal Changes
Reduced sun exposure leads to lower Vitamin D and melatonin changes, which impact hair growth cycles.

Humidity and Scalp Issues
High humidity during monsoons can lead to dandruff and fungal infections, increasing hair fall.

Diet and Immunity Changes
Seasonal diets and lower immunity in winters can affect hair strength and quality.

How to Control Seasonal Hair Fall?

Nourish Your Scalp: Use mild, sulfate-free shampoos and follow with a scalp serum or nourishing oil.

Eat Well and Stay Hydrated: Include protein, iron, and Vitamin D-rich foods in your diet.

Manage Stress: Seasonal mood shifts and stress can also contribute to hair shedding.

If you’re unsure whether your hair loss is seasonal or a sign of an underlying condition, it’s best to consult an expert. Dr. Abhishek Malviya, one of the most trusted Dermatologists in Indore, provides advanced scalp evaluations and customized treatment plans to restore your hair health.
