The sweltering summer has passed, and autumn has arrived with its cooler weather. During seasonal transitions like this, skin tends to become dry, and many people pay closer attention to skin care.
What is easy to overlook at this time is the scalp. According to experts in the field, people with hair loss in particular would do well to pay attention to scalp care during seasonal transitions. They add that this is because, during these periods, the oil-moisture balance of the scalp can be disrupted for various reasons, such as large daily temperature swings and lack of moisture, causing hair to fall out more easily.
According to these experts, as sunlight hours decrease in autumn, secretion of testosterone, a male hormone that contributes to hair loss, increases and may interfere with hair growth. They also note that hair may fall out if a scalp worn out by summer UV exposure is left without care.
They say, “When many hair follicles have been lost, it is not easy to improve the condition through hair loss prevention methods alone, so it may also be advisable to consider more active options such as a hair transplant.” They continue, “Hair transplant surgery involves harvesting hair from areas where hair is relatively unlikely to fall out and transplanting it to the areas where it is needed. Even in cases where large empty areas require a large-volume transplant, these areas can be filled in naturally.”
Director Yoo Hwa-jung of Modi Hair Plant said, “With accurate examination and timely, effective management, the progression of hair loss can be slowed to some extent, so it is advisable to find an appropriate treatment method through thorough consultation with medical staff.” She added, “In the case of non-incision hair transplant, one of the surgical methods, hair is transplanted without incisions or scars, and the procedure is customized by taking into account each individual’s degree of hair loss progression, as well as the direction and depth of the hair.”
Director Yoo advised, “To help prevent hair loss during seasonal transitions, it is important to improve habits that are bad for scalp health and to make an effort to keep the scalp hydrated.” She continued, “It is advisable to wash your hair after going out to keep it clean, and to refrain from frequent dyeing and perms, which irritate the scalp.”
