Over half of British men and women have experienced hair loss during their life – with this most likely to happen in September due to “seasonal shedding”, a hair expert has warned.
The phenomenon sees a peak in hairs falling out after the summer months, most likely due to a combination of prolonged exposure to the sun during the summer, plummeting autumn temperatures, and the stress of returning to work.
Other triggers for lost follicles are sunburn, changes in hormone levels, and diet, according to Harley Street trichologist Mark Blake, who has worked in the industry for over 40 years.
