    Glossary Seasonal Hair Loss

    increased hair shedding during specific seasons, often spring and fall

    Seasonal Hair Loss, also known as seasonal shedding, refers to the phenomenon where individuals experience increased hair shedding during certain times of the year, typically in the spring and fall. This is thought to be a natural part of the hair growth cycle, influenced by changes in daylight and temperature, which can affect the hair's growth phase (anagen) and shedding phase (telogen). While it is generally temporary and not a cause for concern, understanding this pattern can help differentiate it from other forms of hair loss that may require medical attention.
