    Autumn brings pumpkins, cozy nights, sweaters and ... hair loss?

    Swedish researchers say that the highest amount of hair falls out in the autumn months. "This pattern is thought to be evolutionary," reports The Daily Mail.

    "The body holds on to hair to protect the scalp against the summer's midday sun."

    I thought this was so interesting, because I've been noticing more hair on my brush lately, so perhaps this explains things!

Hair loss can be a sign of more serious health issues that need treatment (thyroid conditions, for instance, or iron deficiency).

      It could also be because since the weather is colder, we wash our hair with hot water. IDK

      i think you should shower two or three times a week but washing your hair just once in each showery.and zinc oxide is very good for your hair and nail.

      That seems to be true for me. My hair is gloriously thick in the summer, but it gets thin and dull in the fall and winter. I just started taking a multivitamin and an extra Biotin supplement, so maybe that will help.
