Is Your Hair Falling Out? Why Fall Shedding Happens & How To Fight Back

Have you ever looked down at your hairbrush or the shower drain and thought, "Why is my hair falling out all of a sudden?" This experience is very real. In fact, that feeling of a sudden increase in hair shedding is a frustratingly common experience— it is also a phenomenon that peaks every fall. It is important to note, however, although it can be alarming— it's often a natural and well-documented part of your hair's growth cycle. 

The good news? You have the power to take control and prevent it from spiraling.

Without the right care, that temporary increase in shedding can lead to longer-term problems. In the blog below, you’ll see why understanding what’s happening at the root level is key and why giving your hair and scalp the support they need is essential to bounce back stronger than ever!

The Science Behind Seasonal Hair Shedding 

Science tells us that your hair follicles go through three main phases— anagen (growth), catagen (transition), and telogen (resting/shedding). Most of the time, the majority of your hair is in the growth phase. However, it is important to note that as the seasons change, your body's natural rhythms shift.

This transition often begins in the summertime. This is because at this time, your scalp and hair are exposed to a perfect storm of stressors; this can include intense UV damage from the sun, the harsh effects of chlorine and hard water buildup, and the constant presence of sweat. At Revive7 we understand that all of these factors can lead to clogged, inflamed hair follicles. As a result, your body naturally shifts more hairs into the telogen (shedding) phase as the weather cools down.

This is a biological process— a representation and reminder of our evolutionary past. In the summer, hair can provide a natural barrier against the sun's rays. In the fall, as you have less sun and less need for that protection, your body prepares to shed and start fresh. 

The result? Those extra handfuls of hair you find in the shower, and the unsettling feeling that your hair shedding is out of control!

Don’t Just Wait It Out: The Risk of Ignoring the Fall Shed 

It's a common misconception that you just have to "wait out" the fall shedding cycle. But ignoring the problem can make it FAR worse. This is because when your scalp is stressed and your follicles are clogged, waiting for the shedding to stop on its own can lead to a number of things, including but not limited to-

• More shedding and a longer recovery time: A compromised scalp environment can prolong the shedding phase, making it feel like it’s never-ending.

• Dandruff and dryness: Clogged follicles and a dehydrated scalp can lead to flaking, itching, and an overall unhealthy environment for new hair to grow.

• Missing the perfect window to protect new growth: As old hairs shed, new ones are pushing through. This is the critical time to nourish your scalp and strengthen these new strands, setting them up for a healthier future.

The Solution: A Healthy Scalp and Fortified Hair With Revive7 

When dealing with this issue, a targeted, high-performance hair care product becomes your best defence. This is because instead of a temporary fix, you need a solution that works at the root to reset your scalp environment— thereby protecting the new growth that's emerging.

Introducing Revive7 Hair Oil: More Than Just a Hair Product 

Revive7 Hair Oil is designed specifically to address the root causes of hair shedding and thinning. This is because unlike many traditional hair oils, our formula is an innovative "dry oil"; with a water-based delivery system. What does that mean? It absorbs quickly and deeply into your hair and scalp; all without leaving behind any greasy residue or buildup.

Our award-winning, clean formula features a synergistic blend of powerful botanicals, including Ginseng and Polygonum Multiflorum (Fo-Ti). These ingredients are traditionally known to strengthen hair follicles and combat thinning. The oil works to:

• Promote stronger strands to reduce breakage (which can be a major cause of thinning).

• Stimulate the scalp; helping to encourage the growth of thicker-looking hair.

• Boost blood flow- delivering essential nutrients directly to your follicles.

• Hydrate and repair dry, damaged strands, leaving them more resilient with less frizz.

A Comprehensive Approach to Hair Health 

At Revive7 Beauty, we believe that the secret to a successful hair care routine isn't just one product; in fact, it's a holistic approach that supports your hair from every angle. While Revive7 Hair Oil works to revitalize your scalp and follicles, it is important to highlight that the way you treat your hair matters too.

This is why we created the Revive7 SILK Wave Heatless Hair Curler. Heat styling is a major source of damage that can weaken hair; as it makes it more susceptible to breakage and contributes to the appearance of thinning. By switching to a heatless curler, you can protect your delicate strands, especially the new growth pushing through during the fall shedding cycle.

Made from the highest quality Mulberry Silk, our heatless curler:

• Prevents breakage by being gentle on delicate strands.

• Reduces frizz and static for smoother, shinier hair.

• Locks in moisture to keep your hair hydrated.

By pairing the nourishing power of the hair oil with the damage-free styling of our curler, you can actively improve your hair's overall health and resilience.

Take Control of Your Hair's Future 

The fall shed is a natural cycle, but it doesn't have to be a source of frustration and panic! By understanding the causes and taking proactive steps, you can minimize the impact–supporting a healthy look. Waiting it out only prolongs the problem, allowing your hair to become more fragile and susceptible to damage.

Now is the perfect time to reset your hair and scalp health. Start with Revive7 Hair Oil to nourish your follicles and strengthen new growth. Then, protect your hair from daily stressors with our SILK Wave Heatless Hair Curler, in complement with our Hair Oil Comb.

It's time to take control of the fall shed and get ready for your hair's glow-up!
