Hair loss in autumn: change of fur?

• Hair loss in autumn is an issue that moves women in particular.
• Many affected people speak of "fur change".
• The seasonal change of fur, better: Change of hair in autumn often turns out to be a periodic, diffuse hair loss.
• The causes of diffuse hair loss are stress, hormonal weight weights, iron deficiency, unbalanced nutrition and much more.
• If the causes are treated, the hair grows again.

Women often perceive a seasonally reinforced hair loss. In the event of hair loss in autumn, many affected persons involuntarily think of a "fur change". Your explanation: If hair is the human fur, it is logical that our hair, as with other mammals, also fail in autumn, so that new, possibly even thicker hair can grow back for winter. The term fur change is an interesting attempt to explain excessive hair loss.

Better protective function of the hair

The "mouse" or the hair loss in autumn is declared the heir of the Homo sapiens' tribal history. Women in particular notice hair loss immediately. Since you brush your hair every day, count more than 100 hair a day in the brush head for several weeks. That is very worrying. However, the hair usually grows back, not as a denser or thicker "winter fur", but without damage in the hair structure, which was caused by wear or exaggerated care. With the hair change, new hair, its evolutionary function - protection against cold and weather - can fulfill better.

Sun as the trigger of the hair change

Today we humans no longer have a fur, except for some men with extremely strong body hair, so that the change of fur of the Homo sapiens is only noticeable on their heads. The most important factor to explain the hair change in autumn is probably the intensive sunlight of summer. Warmth and UV radiation mean that a particularly large number of hair follicles pass from the growth phase into the resting phase. This hair is more or less loose in the hair follicle for a few weeks and are then due to a mechanical stimulus, e.g. B. wash brushes or hair, loosened from the scalp

Seasonal or periodically diffuse hair loss?

The seasonal hair loss in autumn is not worrying. However, if the hair does not grow back, other causes must be considered. The seasonal hair loss then very often turns out to be a periodic, irregularly recurring, diffuse hair loss.
Female hair follicles in particular react very sensitively to a variety of disruptive factors such as Hormonal weight weights After pregnancy or in menopause, mental or physical stress, thyroid dysfunction, iron deficiency, unbalanced nutrition, infections but also skin diseases and metabolic diseases.
Usually the ratio of hair in the growth phase and hair in the resting phase, which will be canceled shortly, 4 to 1. Since the hair cycles are different long, there is never a thinning or bare spots on the head in healthy hair growth. In the case of diffuse hair loss, however, many thousands of hair cycles are synchronized. The hair changes almost simultaneously from the growth to the resting phase and then fail at the same time. The hair is very quick in a short period of time.

Diagnosis of diffuse hair loss

It is not necessary to bring a shondower of fancy hair into the dermatological consultation. After visual assessment of the scalp and hair, the doctor or doctor pull slightly on a tuft of hair, each at different points of the head (train test). If more than 10 % of the hair detach from the hair root, this is a hint for shortened hair cycles, i.e. that is, more hair follicles than normal are in the telogen phase and are ready to fall out.
Afterwards, the doctors ask for events that could be observed two to four months before the start of the hair loss, for example a greater operation or a time with a lot of stress.
It is known that some diseases also cause hair loss, e.g. B. metabolic diseases such as diabetes when a higher blood sugar level leads to circulatory disorders on the hair root, or chronic inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn's disease if the supply of division-active hair root cells with nutrients (protein, carbohydrates, fat), vitamins and trace elements is no longer guaranteed.
A list of medication and its side effects can also be very helpful to identify the trigger for hair loss. A blood test provides further information. The laboratory checks inflammatory parameters, iron or thyroid values.
Incidentally, the rough quantitative measurement of the tract test is refined with the examination method of the trichogram. The trichogram serves a precise determination of hair root status. Usually there are approximately 80 - 85% of the hair in the growth phase (anagen hair), approx. 1% in the transition phase (catagen hair) and approx. 15 - 20% in the resting phase (telogen hair).
For some time now, more and more dermatologist practices have been with oneTrichoscan Equipped: A certain point of the head is regularly photographed. Photos of the scalp are saved on the computer. It is possible to document and compare the course of hair loss or new hair growth over a longer period of time.

Therapy in diffuse hair loss

New hair growth follows the seasonally reinforced hair loss in autumn. Since the hair loss regulates itself, it is more likely to speak of changing hair.
No therapy is required if the diffuse hair loss is stopped by spontaneous loss of the causes and healthy hair growth is used to a certain extent, such as in the fourth to sixth month after pregnancy, when the estrogen level is back in balance.
If medication with the side effect is stopped and replaced by comparable, there are also good chances that the diffuse hair loss will be combated.
Diseases such as a thyroid dysfunction, infections or diabetes mellitus must be treated so that the symptom of hair loss disappears.
Become none Causes of diffuse hair loss Found or if the causes cannot be successfully treated, it is very beneficial for the weakened hair roots if they are protected from growth -contrary influences. It has proven to be very useful to stabilize the cell metabolism on the hair root and to normalize the hair cycle. Thiocyn hair serum can serve well.

What is thiocyanate

Thiocyanate is a natural molecule that accompanies the development of life such as water or oxygen from the beginning and is therefore of great importance for the human organism - including for cell metabolism, also on the hair root, where hair growth takes place. The THIOCYN HaarSerum contains the patented Thiocyanate activity formula.

This is how Thiocyn Hair Serum works

Applied once daily, thiocyn hair serum detoxifies hair regeneration inhibiting oxygen radicals, stabilizes the cell metabolism and normalizes the hair cycle that has become out of balance - without known side effects.
