Wondering why is my hair falling out in the shower? We discuss how to stop hair shed in 3 easy steps, along with delving into all things Autumn Shed.

Why is my hair falling out in the shower?

So, you’re 30 minutes into your everything-shower, you look down and realise there's a clump of hair sitting on top of your shower drain that is suspiciously large. If you’ve questioned ‘why is my hair falling out in the shower?’ Don't worry, you’re certainly not the only one. 

Before you panic, be aware that this may be completely normal; a certain amount of hair loss is natural and necessary for the health of your hair overall. However, you should be paying attention to the amount of hair shedding in particular. 

 Once again, the amount can vary from occasion to occasion, especially in the autumn months (this is known as the Autumn shed, but more on this later). So, if you want to know more about why your hair is falling out in the shower, keep reading here at UKLASH. 

How much hair is normal to lose in the shower?

According to a recent study, the average person loses between 50 to 100 hairs a day, depending on the type of hair. If you’re wondering what does 100 hairs look like, it's honestly less than you might expect. Hence, it's important to note that this type of hair loss isn't really considered hair loss at all - rather, hair shedding. 

Hair shedding is simply the natural process of your hair falling out daily, while hair loss refers to the inability to grow back hair due to a variety of factors.

Seasonal Hair Loss FAQs

What month is seasonal hair loss?

Seasonal hair loss, also known as seasonal shedding, typically occurs during the autumn months, particularly in September and October. This phenomenon is influenced by the changing seasons and is believed to be a natural response to prepare the body for the colder winter months. During this time, you may notice increased hair falling out in the shower, but it's usually temporary, and hair growth typically returns to normal in the following months.

Why do I lose more hair in Autumn?

You may lose more hair in autumn due to a natural shedding process triggered by changes in daylight and temperature, which can result in increased hair loss during this season.

How long does seasonal hair loss last?

Seasonal hair loss typically lasts for a few weeks to a couple of months. It's a temporary phenomenon, and the duration can vary from person to person. Generally, as the body adjusts to the seasonal changes, hair shedding increases, and then hair growth gradually returns to normal.

How can I stop seasonal hair loss?

Remember that preventing seasonal hair loss entirely may be challenging, as it's a natural process for many people. However, you can minimise its impact by maintaining a healthy lifestyle and hair care routine. Ensure you have a balanced diet rich in nutrients, especially vitamins and minerals like biotin, zinc, and iron, which support hair health.
