Every September, many clients notice more hair in the shower drain or on their brush and ask, “Am I losing too much hair?” The truth is: Fall shedding is completely normal. Just like leaves, our hair follows seasonal rhythms. Studies show humans shed slightly more in late Summer and early Fall, as older strands naturally release to make way for new growth.

Why It Happens:
Throughout the Summer, sun exposure, saltwater, pool chlorine, and heat styling can weaken the hair. As we enter Fall, strands that have reached the end of their growth cycle are more likely to shed. Add in drier, cooler air, and your scalp may also feel tight or flaky, making hair appear thinner than it truly is.

How to Stop It (or at Least Reduce It):
While you can’t prevent natural seasonal shedding entirely, you can strengthen your hair and improve scalp wellness so new growth thrives. At Hair N’ Now NYC, we recommend:

  1. Scalp Care First – Healthy hair begins at the root. Treatments like Oribe’s Serene Scalp Exfoliating Scrub remove buildup, while Oribe Serene Scalp Balancing Conditioner soothes dryness.
  2. Repair & Rebuild – Professional bond-strengthening systems like Olaplex help restore the internal structure of fragile strands, minimizing breakage.
  3. Nourish & Protect – Weekly at-home masks such as Oribe Gold Lust Transformative Masque deliver moisture and antioxidants that keep shedding hair looking fuller and shinier.
  4. Strategic Volume Solutions – For clients experiencing more noticeable thinning, options like MHE Hair Extensions or a customized volumizing cut create the look of thicker, denser hair instantly.

The Bottom Line:
Fall shedding doesn’t have to be scary. Think of it as a reset — with the right scalp care, repair treatments, and styling solutions, your hair will grow back stronger, shinier, and healthier.
