Reasons why hair loss is particularly severe in autumn and how to prevent it

As the weather gets colder, I am losing a lot more hair than usual.

The number of people concerned about hair loss has increased. The reasons why hair loss becomes particularly severe in autumn or winter, and

Let's take a closer look at everything from the causes of hair loss to treatment medications and prevention methods.

 

The reason why hair loss is particularly severe during the autumn and winter seasons

As one might generally infer, as the weather becomes drier in autumn, the scalp also becomes dry, making it vulnerable to even minor external stimuli

You can be easily affected. Also, because the secretion of male hormones increases when sunlight decreases,

It is said that the number of hair loss patients is increasing. Therefore, even ordinary people who do not usually have symptoms of hair loss in the fall...

You may experience excessive hair loss.

Due to the dry autumn weather, the scalp becomes dry and prone to dead skin cell buildup, so maintain a clean scalp daily.

It is good to do that. In addition, frequent perms or dyeing, which can further worsen dryness,

Please also avoid things that can irritate the scalp, such as hair bleaching, as much as possible.

 

Hair loss medication that women can get prescribed?

The hair loss medication 'Propecia,' commonly prescribed to men, is said to be so dangerous that women shouldn't even touch it directly.

It is known as a drug that is forbidden for women. The drug's main ingredient, 'finasteride,' is women's

If absorbed through the skin, it causes abnormalities in the external genitalia of male fetuses

It is because it has the side effect of causing birth defects.

 

Therefore, I was prescribed **'Minoxidil'**, a hair growth product that can be used by both men and women.

It is frequently used. We recommend 5% for men and 3% for women, but for women

The reason a smaller solution is recommended is that the 5% solution can relatively cause skin irritation, and

This is because the effect is strong, so the frequency of hirsutism may be high. For a more accurate diagnosis, consult a doctor or

I recommend getting it done directly by a pharmacist.

If you have a skin condition on your scalp or have a sunburn

I'm curious about how to prevent hair loss.

 

To prevent hair loss, managing stress well is the most important thing.

It is commonly known, but sufficient sleep and a balanced diet avoiding overeating and late-night snacks,

Along with consuming foods rich in vitamins and fiber, and regular exercise

Combining it with treatment can be a little more helpful.

 

 

Wash your hair in the evening and rinse under running water for at least 3 minutes.
Avoid contact of hair products with the scalp as much as possible.
Minimize dyeing and perming that irritate the scalp
Gently comb your hair every day for scalp blood circulation.
Reduce meat consumption that impairs blood flow to the scalp
