What to do if hair loss is severe in autumn and winter

　　In autumn and winter, the air is dry, the body's metabolism slows down, coupled with heavy clothing and indoor heating, many people find that hair loss increases significantly. The tangled hair when combing the hair and the hair scattered on the pillow are all worrying.

What to do if hair loss is severe in autumn and winter

　　1. Targeted nutritional supplements

　　It is easy to overlook the nutrients needed for hair growth when supplementing in autumn and winter. It is necessary to focus on supplementing high-quality protein, vitamin B complex and iron and zinc elements. These ingredients can provide energy to hair follicles and enhance the toughness of hair. It is recommended to eat deep-sea fish 2-3 times a week and supplement Omega-3 fatty acids to relieve scalp dryness.

　　2. Scientific scalp and hair care

　　Wash your hair with warm water at 32-38℃ to avoid overheating and irritating the scalp.； Choose a mild, nourishing shampoo and reduce the frequency of use of strong anti-dandruff cleansing products. After washing your hair, gently massage your scalp for 1-2 minutes to promote blood circulation. ； Apply conditioner when your hair is semi-dry, focusing on the ends of your hair to avoid direct contact with the scalp, which may cause oil accumulation.

　　3. Adjust work and rest to stabilize endocrine system

　　Short days and long nights in autumn and winter can easily disrupt work and rest. Staying up late can lead to endocrine disorders and aggravate hair loss. It is recommended to go to bed before 11 o'clock every night and ensure 7-8 hours of sleep so that hair follicles can be fully repaired at night. You can relieve stress by soaking your feet and meditating before going to bed to prevent anxiety from affecting hormone levels.

What are the common misunderstandings about preventing hair loss in autumn and winter?

　　1. Wash your hair frequently to reduce oil.

　　In autumn and winter, scalp oil secretion decreases. Frequent hair washing (once a day) will destroy the natural sebum film of the scalp, causing dryness and sensitivity. A healthy frequency is once every 2-3 days for normal hair and once every 3-4 days for dry hair. Avoid scratching your scalp with your nails when washing your hair.

　　2. Blindly supplement high-calorie foods

　　Frequent consumption of greasy foods such as hot pot and stew in autumn and winter can easily cause excessive scalp oil secretion and clog hair follicles. Supplements should follow the principle of "light and balanced", eat more spinach, broccoli and other vegetables, reduce the intake of high-sugar and high-fat foods, and avoid "overnutrition" hair loss.

　　3. Ignore emotions and stress regulation

　　It is easy to feel depressed in autumn and winter, and long-term stress can cause hair follicles to enter the resting phase, causing "stress hair loss." You can do aerobic exercise for 20 minutes every day to promote body metabolism and emotional release. If necessary, you can relieve the psychological burden through socializing and hobbies.

　　Hair loss in autumn and winter is mostly a seasonal physiological phenomenon. As long as you make targeted adjustments to your diet, care, and routine, you can effectively reduce hair loss. If the hair loss lasts for more than 3 months, accompanied by scalp redness and swelling and widening of the hair seams, you should seek medical treatment in time to investigate pathological factors.
