Stating that although the hair has a function that protects the skin from sunlight and external factors, it turns into a more cosmetic organ, Dermatologist Arpi Tırpancı said that hair has a sensory organ function because it provides sense perception. Stating that it is necessary to determine whether hair loss is caused by seasonal reasons or health problems, Dr. Tırpancı said, “Some of the hair diseases are hereditary. Apart from this, male pattern hair loss due to infections can be seen, which leaves permanent damage to the skin and does not show damage. Nutritional disorders, uncontrolled dieting, anemia, hypothyroidism, protein metabolism disorders cause hair loss, thinning, breakage and dulling in color. The heat of the sun after summer, the light of the pool, the salty water of the sea can make the hair brittle, dry and prone to breakage. If your hair is falling out due to seasonal reasons, you can make simple applications.”
- Watch what you eat!
What you eat has an effect on your hair health. Eating a balanced diet is important not only for your health, but also for your hair and skin. Adding foods rich in fatty acids such as avocados, almonds, coconut oil, salmon, and chia seeds can help support healthy hair.

Use products that promote hair growth
Using products formulated with hair growth may not prevent hair loss, but may promote new growth. Products enriched with growth factors that help stimulate thicker, longer hair can make a difference during seasonal hair loss.
- Shortening the hair
It is necessary to reduce the pulling force on the roots during tying or combing long hair. If the hair loss is due to seasonal damage, trimming your hair may not reduce hair loss, but it can reduce added damage when washing while combing it tightly. However, cutting hair cannot have a positive effect on hair follicles.

Pay attention to hair care
Caring for dry hair, using a conditioner mask for weakened and damaged hair, moisturizing and nourishing the hair help hair growth.
- Take a break from heat styling!
Try to style your hair less to reduce the effects of seasonal hair loss. The heat delivered to the hair by curling irons and straighteners can be very damaging to damaged hair. It may become brittle and cause breakage. Braiding your hair before bed or sleeping on sponge curlers are great ways to style without the heat.
Pointing out that hair and nails are skin appendages, Dermalogist Arpi Tırpancı, one of the doctors of Çevre Hospital, said that when there are hair problems, nail disorders can accompany this problem and added that nail examination of patients who apply for hair disease should also be done.
