Seasonal Hair Loss Is Real—Here’s How to Stop Losing Strands In the Shower

Ziering also eschews the importance of a year-round hair and scalp routine. He suggests eating a healthy diet, avoiding shampoos and conditioners with sulfates and parabens, investing in a scalp scrub and hair mask, protecting the hair and scalp from UV rays, and limiting heat treatments and chemical processes.

Ziering also suggests tracking the patterns of your seasonal hair loss to better understand it. “When does it start? How long does it last? Or when does it typically stop? Once you see that pattern, you will know how to time a change in your normal hair care routine. At least 30 days prior to the common start of your seasonal shedding,  check your diet, start a good hair supplement, get a daily workout in, and manage your hair care and styling regimen differently.”
