The hot summer has passed and autumn brings cooler weather. During such seasonal transitions, the skin becomes dry, so people often pay more attention to care.
Something easy to overlook at this time is the scalp. In particular, experts explain that people with hair loss should pay attention to scalp care during seasonal transitions. They add that during seasonal transitions, the oil-moisture balance of the scalp is disrupted for various reasons such as large daily temperature differences and lack of moisture, causing hair to fall out more easily.
According to these experts, in autumn, as the amount of sunlight decreases, the secretion of testosterone, the male hormone that causes hair loss, increases, which can interfere with hair growth. They say that hair can also fall out when the scalp, worn out by summer UV rays, is left unmanaged.
They say, "When there are many follicles that have fallen out, it is not easy to improve with hair loss prevention methods, so it is also advisable to consider active methods such as hair transplant," adding, "Hair transplant surgery involves harvesting hair from areas that are relatively resistant to hair loss and transplanting it to the areas where it is needed, so even in cases requiring large-volume transplantation due to many empty areas, this can be filled in naturally."
Yoo Hwa-jung, Director of Modi Hair Plant Clinic, said, "With hair loss, if you respond effectively at the right time through accurate examinations, the rate of progression can be slowed to some extent, so it is good to find an appropriate treatment method through sufficient consultation with medical staff," adding, "In the case of non-incision hair transplant, one of the surgical methods, hair is transplanted without incisions or scars, and it is performed as a customized surgery considering the degree of hair loss progression, hair direction, and depth, which differ from person to person."
Director Yoo advised, "To prevent hair loss during seasonal transitions, it is important to improve habits that are not good for scalp health and to make efforts to maintain moisture in the scalp," and "It is good to wash your hair after going out to maintain cleanliness, and to refrain from frequent dyeing and perming that irritate the scalp."
