Does hair fall out more in summer?

I ignored my summer hair fall thinking it was just because of sweat and heat, but it was actually severe iron deficiency. By the time I went to a doctor, I had lost almost half my hair. Get your blood work done if the shedding is too much.

I used to panic every April thinking I was going bald because of all the hair in my drain. But then my doctor reassured me that a bit of extra shedding is totally normal when the body adjusts to the heat. It always settles down by monsoon.

My teenage son had terrible hair fall last summer because of his football practice in the sun. I made sure he washed his hair immediately after coming home and gave him cool coconut water daily. It really brought the shedding down.

Summer hair fall is usually because of sweat building up on the scalp and weakening the roots. My simple advice is to wash your hair with a mild shampoo whenever you sweat a lot, and never tie up wet hair. It works wonders.
