Seasonal hair loss concerns a considerable number of people, especially during autumn or spring. It often manifests as a sudden loss of a significant amount of hair, which is usually temporary. However, in many cases, it negatively affects the appearance, psychology, and social life of those experiencing it.
Factors that favor seasonal hair loss
Hair loss is closely related to hormones. Hormonal fluctuations that naturally occur in the human body throughout the year affect the hair growth cycle. The most significant hormones influencing hair are androgens, particularly dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This hormone can shorten the anagen phase of the hair cycle, leading to weaker hair that gradually becomes thinning and falls out. During autumn, there is often a decrease in vitamin D levels (which rise significantly during summer due to sun exposure), along with an increase in stress levels. Both factors disrupt hormonal balance, contributing to a higher likelihood of seasonal hair loss.
Considering that women are more vulnerable to hormonal fluctuations due to the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, or menopause, and men are influenced by androgen production, it is easy to understand why the human body is more prone to temporary hair loss during transitional seasons.
Psychological effects of hair loss
Appearance plays a major role in one’s self-confidence and mental health. When hair loss becomes visible, even if it is seasonal, yet temporary, it can trigger negative emotions, such as anxiety, insecurity, and low self-esteem. These psychological effects tend to intensify in social situations, as individuals may feel less attractive and avoid social interactions, thus leading to isolation, which can negatively affect overall quality of life.
In personal relationships, the insecurity caused by hair loss can create distance between partners or hinder the formation of new relationships. People often associate hair with femininity or masculinity, making its loss a difficult personal experience. Additionally, hair loss may lead to concerns about one’s professional life, especially in environments where appearance matters. This can create a vicious cycle of worry and stress, further exacerbating the problem.
