Spring: the season of fresh starts and… hair everywhere.
You’re noticing more strands on your brush, your pillow, and somehow even your laptop keyboard. Is it the pollen? Is it a full moon? Is your hair just being dramatic?
Don’t worry — your locks aren’t staging a walkout. It’s just seasonal shedding, and it’s more common (and manageable) than you think.
Let’s talk about it.
So… Does Hair Actually Shed More in Spring?
Short answer? Yes — but it’s not personal.
Spring and fall are known as seasonal shedding periods. Your hair may go into the resting phase in its growth cycle where strands fall out to make room for new ones. (Very “out with the old, in with the fabulous.”)
Most people lose 50–100 hairs a day on average, but in spring? That number can bloom a little higher.
Why Does Seasonal Shedding Happen?
Your body is a complex, hormonal wonderland — and it responds to changes in light, temperature, and stress. The theory goes: as daylight increases, hormones like melatonin and prolactin shift, signaling your hair to take a little vacation. Voilà: increased shedding.
The good news? It’s totally normal and usually temporary.
The better news? You can still help your hair thrive while it’s doing its spring cleaning.
5 Ways to Outsmart the Spring Shed
1. Scalp Care Is Self-Care
Your scalp is not just the place where your hair hangs out — it’s the control center. Keeping it clean and nourished helps set the stage for stronger, happier hair. Use the Copper Chemist Shampoo to gently cleanse while giving your scalp a pep talk. It supports healthy hair roots — the kind that stick around.
2. Condition Like You’re Wooing Your Hair Back
A good conditioner hydrates, detangles, and prevents your strands from jumping ship prematurely. The Copper Chemist Conditioner is lightweight but rich enough to reduce breakage and help your hair look less “seasonally stressed.”
3. Leave-In Treatments = Hair Insurance
Spring weather swings can leave your hair dry and vulnerable — a recipe for more fallout. Enter Copper Chemist Hair Repair. It hydrates, softens, and protects your hair’s outer layer.
4. Massage Your Scalp Like You Mean It
Not just because it feels amazing (though it does) — regular scalp massage can increase circulation and stimulate growth. Bonus points if you do it with your conditioner still in for that spa-at-home vibe.
5. Don’t Panic Comb
Aggressive brushing on wet, fragile spring strands? Hair treason. Use a wide-tooth comb instead, and be gentle. You’re detangling, not punishing.
When Should You Worry?
If shedding comes with bald spots, itching, or major thinning, check in with a dermatologist. But if it’s just a little more hair in the drain each April? Welcome to the club!
From Shed to Shining
Spring shedding doesn’t mean your hair is doomed. Think of it as a refresh, and give your scalp the VIP treatment it deserves with Copper Chemist’s science-backed line. With the right care, your strands will come back stronger, shinier, and ready for summer selfies.
