Seasonal Hair Shedding: How to Care for Your Hair and Scalp in Autumn

Noticing more hair in your brush?

Changes in season often make us pay more attention to the condition of our hair. After months of sunshine, heat, frequent washing and summer styling, autumn can be the perfect time to reassess your hair and scalp care routine.

A good routine starts with effective yet gentle scalp cleansing.

Healthy-looking hair care begins at the scalp

When thinking about haircare, we often focus primarily on the lengths and ends. Shampoo, however, should concentrate mainly on cleansing the scalp and roots.

When washing your hair, gently massage the scalp using your fingertips and small circular movements. Vigorous scratching is unnecessary and may leave the scalp feeling uncomfortable.

Introduce targeted care into your autumn routine

The Vitality's Intensive Energia range is designed for targeted cosmetic care of hair prone to shedding and for scalp care.

The Energia shampoo contains ingredients including caffeine, mint and salicylic acid. Apply the shampoo to wet hair and scalp, massage gently, allow it to work for a few minutes and then rinse thoroughly.

Consistency matters more than doing too much

A good haircare routine is about regularity rather than using as many products as possible at the same time.

Choose products that suit the needs of your scalp, treat your hair gently and give your routine time to become part of your regular care habits.

Remember your everyday habits

The appearance and condition of hair can be affected by many different factors. A balanced diet, sufficient rest and general wellbeing can all play a role alongside an appropriate cosmetic haircare routine.

Wet hair should also be treated carefully. Instead of vigorously rubbing it with a towel, gently remove excess moisture and detangle it gradually, starting from the ends.

When should you seek professional advice?

Hair shedding can have many different causes. If you experience sudden, unusually heavy or persistent hair loss, bald patches or noticeable changes to your scalp, consult a doctor or dermatologist.

Cosmetic products can be part of a supportive hair and scalp care routine, but they are not a substitute for medical diagnosis or treatment.

Create a conscious haircare routine

A change of season is a great opportunity to reassess your haircare habits. Gentle cleansing, regular scalp care and suitable products can work together to help your hair maintain a well-cared-for and revitalised appearance.
