Autumn is here, and some people are experiencing significant hair loss, especially women. Recently, many people have been visiting hospitals to seek consultation and treatment for hair loss in traditional Chinese medicine and dermatology departments. Experts explain that the autumn climate is relatively dry, leading to reduced sebum secretion. Compared to spring and summer, more hair may fall out during this season, but there is no need to worry excessively. As we enter autumn, the weather becomes drier, which can easily lead to hair loss. This is mainly because the hair roots penetrate deep into the hair follicles in the skin, and the dry autumn skin causes a decrease in sebum secretion and shrinkage of the hair follicles. Additionally, as the autumn temperature drops, the hair follicles contract at a faster rate, resulting in hair loss. To deal with autumn hair loss, pay attention to the following points in daily life:
Maintain a relaxed state of mind For hair loss during this season, the first step is to maintain a relaxed state of mind and ensure sufficient sleep. Mental stress is a significant cause of hair loss. Suppression, instability, anxiety, and restlessness can all contribute to hair loss, and the deeper the suppression, the faster the hair loss. Therefore, engaging in deep breathing, walking, and doing exercises regularly can help alleviate mental fatigue. In autumn, it is important to ensure sufficient sleep every day and develop a habit of sleeping on a regular schedule. Soaking your feet in hot water before bed not only helps to boost energy but also benefits hair care.
Reduce the frequency of hair washing In autumn, try to reduce the number of times you wash your hair. In the dry autumn climate, some people may wash their hair more frequently when they notice more hair loss. However, this can have the opposite effect, causing even more hair loss. In autumn, it is advisable to minimize the frequency of hair washing, generally washing it 1-2 times per week is sufficient.
In addition, regular scalp massages can improve scalp nutrition, regulate sebum secretion, promote scalp blood circulation, and enhance local metabolism.
