The seasonal fall of the hair? An idea received!

Your hair fall by handfuls and you start to panic? To reassure you, your friends keep repeating to you: "But do not worry, it's quite normal, it's because of the change of season." Biiiiiiip (buzzer sound): gross error. The fall of your hair is not related to temperature variations and seasons. As Catherine Chauvin, director of the René Furterer Institute, said, answering our questions: "We're talking about a reactional fall, not a seasonal fall." To say the opposite is to make a short cut, because it's a lot more complicated than that..
She explains indeed: "Often, we had a big fatigue, a big stress, before the summer, June, July and August pass. hair begin to fall in September ". Why such a reaction, so long after? Simply because the "hair bulb, once dead, still remains three months in the scalp before falling".
No connection, therefore, with the return and the arrival of autumn. These are actually side effects, related to different factors, that do not manifest themselves immediately. What are they ? "Stress, fatigue, pregnancy or emotional shock" responds Catherine Chauvin. The reactional fall of the hair can also be related to a vascular problem (microcirculation on the scalp level) or nutritional (deficiencies, diet).
What to do in this case? "A diagnosis of the hair", to determine the exact cause of the problem, and find the right treatment. Because the reactional fall of the hair is, above all, related to the scalp. "Take a plant, so that it has beautiful flowers, it is necessary that the root is in a fertile and healthy soil." Well, it is the same for your hair" illustrious Catherine.
Rest assured, however, if you lose between 50 and 100 hair per day, you do not have to worry. This is a perfectly normal phenomenon.
