SEIZOEN EN HAARCYCLUS

Seasonal hair loss: normal or something else?

Sommige mensen merken in bepaalde maanden meer haaruitval. Een seizoenspatroon is pas herkenbaar wanneer de verandering tijdelijk, diffuus en over meerdere jaren vergelijkbaar verloopt.

In brief

  • Dagelijkse haaruitval kan door het jaar heen variëren.
  • Een tijdelijk diffuus patroon kan binnen de normale haarcyclus passen.
  • Timing, duur en herhaling helpen om seizoenseffecten te onderscheiden.
  • Sterke, plaatselijke of aanhoudende uitval vraagt om een bredere blik.

VARIETY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR

Does seasonal hair loss exist?

Research and practical observations suggest that the proportion of hairs in different cycle phases can vary throughout the year. As a result, some people temporarily notice more shedding.

The amount and timing vary considerably; a seasonal label does not automatically explain every increase.

NORMAL FLUCTUATION

Why does hair loss fluctuate?

Hair follicles do not all work in sync. As a result, the number of hairs that come loose each day varies, even without an obvious condition.

Light, temperature, routines, and events in previous months can coincide with the visible change.

COMPARE THE PROGRESS

Seasonal variation or telogen effluvium?

A mild recurring seasonal pattern is usually temporary. Telogen effluvium can be more pronounced and often follows an identifiable physical, hormonal, or emotional trigger.

The distinction cannot be made based on a single day; consider duration, intensity, and context.

FOLLOW THE TREND

What can you observe yourself?

Take a monthly photo of your part, hairline, and crown in similar lighting. Also note illness, stress, diet, weight changes, and hormonal events.

A calm, consistent care routine makes changes easier to compare.

BROADER VIEW

When is it advisable to look further?

Have pronounced hair loss, decreasing density, or a pattern that persists for longer assessed. The same applies to bald patches, pain, redness, or flaking.

An assessment can help distinguish seasonal variation from another pattern of hair loss.

Vragen over seizoensgebonden haaruitval

In which season does her hair fall out more often?

Some people notice more shedding in late summer or autumn, but the pattern and intensity vary greatly from person to person.
How long does seasonal hair loss last?

A temporary increase should gradually decline. If the dropout remains high or the density decreases, look more broadly at possible context.
Is hair loss every autumn normal?

No, not every increase is seasonal. Duration, intensity, distribution, and recent events help distinguish between them.
Can seasonal shedding look like telogen effluvium?

Yes. Both can be diffuse. A clear trigger and a more severe or prolonged course may be more consistent with telogen effluvium.
How can I reliably track the trend?

Take photos under the same conditions and compare them each month. Also note changes in health, stress, diet, and hormones.
What support is suitable for diffuse seasonal hair loss?
