Regularly at this time every year, most women have to face the constant loss of hair, especially those with long hair. So this season-transition time to autumn is also jokingly called “the hair fall season”.
Why have the “hair fall season”?
Normally, the fall and winter period is the time when hair falls a lot. The reason is that this season’s weather is dry, thus the scalp is dry as well, making the hair roots weak, fragile, and very easy to break and even shed a lot.
Besides, the temperature changes when we go from the house to the outside, and vice versa also affects the health of the hair. It causes hair to dry out and break more easily.
Another reason also contributes to more hair loss in the autumn and winter season is that at this time, the temperature is low and cold, so we also … lazy to wash our hair and care for the scalp. This also causes hair loss to increase.
How to deal with the problem of hair loss in fall?

Before shampooing, brush your hair with a round wooden comb. This device helps to prevent hair loss, and also acts as a scalp massage for better blood circulation.

While washing your hair, all operations should be done flexibly and combined with soft massage operations. Do not scratch the scalp, avoid damaging and reducing the shine of the hair. Don’t forget to blow your hair every time you wash your hair because it’s a shield that protects your hair.
After shampooing, you should dry your hair with a soft cotton towel, avoid rubbing vigorously. In addition, you should not brush your hair when wet and limit hair drying.
