Does hair fall more in winter or summer?

I feel like my hair fall increases during certain times of the year. I've always wondered if it's just me or if it's a common thing. Does hair actually fall out more in winter or in summer?

Honestly, don't stress too much about this. Hair has its own mood swings and both seasons can make it act up. Just keep your scalp clean, eat your veggies, and let it be.

Actually, both seasons have different triggers. Summer sweat can block pores, while winter dryness makes hair brittle and prone to breaking. Try to wash your hair twice a week and keep it hydrated.

Mere saath toh winter mein bahut zyada hair fall hota hai, scalp itni dry ho jaati hai. What worked for me was using a mild shampoo and drinking lots of water. Summer sweat causes itching but lesser breakage for me.

Honestly, city pollution affects it more than the weather. Summer dust or winter smog, both ruin your hair if you don't cover it. Focus on a clean scalp and a good diet rather than worrying about the season.

I used to think my hair fall was just seasonal changes, so I ignored it for months. It turned out to be a severe vitamin D deficiency and hormonal imbalance. Please consult a dermatologist if it's shedding in clumps.

Yaar, my hair falls out in summer because of sweat, and in winter because of hot water showers. At this rate, autumn is my only safe zone! Don't worry, it's just normal shedding, we aren't going bald yet.

Don't make the mistake of waiting for the season to change. I kept waiting for winter to end thinking my hair fall would stop, but it was actually male pattern baldness starting. If it's heavy, get a doctor to check your scalp immediately.

I am also facing this problem a lot nowadays, especially since the weather changed. Does oiling actually help or does it make the hair fall worse? Please let me know if anyone has tried it.
