As the leaves change, you might notice something else changing too: the amount of hair in your brush. It’s actually normal to shed a bit more hair in the fall! This seasonal shedding is a natural part of your hair’s growth cycle. However, if you feel like the shedding is becoming excessive, the good news is it’s often treatable and manageable with the right approach.
At Salon Antoine, we believe in a holistic approach to hair health. Here’s how you can combat excessive fall hair shedding:
Gentle Care for Your Scalp and Strands
One of the first steps is to be gentle with your hair, especially when wet. Avoid harsh brushing and opt for a wide-tooth comb. When it comes to cleansing, choose products that are soothing and don’t strip your scalp’s natural oils.
For a gentle cleanse that respects your scalp, we recommend Wella Professionals Elements Calming Shampoo. It’s designed to be kind to your skin while effectively cleaning your hair.
Boost Scalp Circulation
A healthy scalp is the foundation for healthy hair. Poor circulation can contribute to shedding. Incorporating regular scalp massages can help stimulate blood flow.
Consider a targeted Moroccanoil Scalp Treatment. Whether you have a dry, flaky scalp or an oily, unbalanced one, there’s a specific treatment designed to address your concerns and create an optimal environment for hair growth. These in-salon treatments are fantastic for giving your scalp the focused attention it needs.
Nourish from Within
What you put into your body significantly impacts your hair’s health. Ensure your diet is rich in vitamins and minerals essential for hair growth, such as biotin, iron, zinc, and vitamins A, C, and E. Staying hydrated is also key!
Specialized Systems for Thinning Hair
If you’re experiencing noticeable thinning, sometimes a more targeted system is needed. Products specifically formulated for thinning hair can provide extra support.
We highly recommend the ColorProof Biorepair Thinning System. This line is expertly designed to help fortify existing hair and encourage new growth, making your hair look and feel fuller.
Don’t let fall shedding dampen your spirits (or your hair)! If you’re concerned about hair loss, or just want personalized advice, we encourage you to book an in-salon consultation with our expert team at Salon Antoine. We can assess your hair and scalp health, recommend the best treatments, and help you get back to a full, healthy head of hair.
