No matter how busy our lives are, we all take our hair seriously. Hair has always been a sign of femininity. Also, hair is an important sign of health: many health issues can be depicted in our hair. For all those reasons, taking care of our hair is extremely important.

We lose on average up to 50 hairs a day. Although this is not a phenomenon, this number can increase with the changing seasons. Seasonal alopecia, as this situation is called, is a skin condition that causes dogs to lose patches of hair in a seasonal pattern. Seasonal alopecia is primarily caused by UV rays, and this hair loss can last for a few weeks.

However, it’s never pleasant to lose hair, and it’s important to reduce the amount of hair we lose every time. So, in order to reduce it as much as possible, you should adopt some drastic beauty practices and incorporate them into your beauty routine as early as possible.

For example, nowadays, more emphasis is given to drying our hair first with a microfiber towel instead of using a hair dryer at very high temperatures, which can weaken the hair strands. It is also recommended to use brushes with silicone bristles or opt for grooming routines with more natural ingredients. Also, applying homemade masks every week is advisable to help our hair strengthen and soften.


In terms of composition, specific vitamins are particularly indicated in the case of seasonal hair loss. This is the case of biotin, also known as vitamin B8, which is found, for example, in bananas, legumes, or even avocados.

Biotin, a powerful energy agent, plays a crucial role in stimulating the follicles in the scalp, thereby promoting hair growth. Its multifaceted benefits have been highlighted in several studies, including one published in 2016 by the US National Library of Medicine, which observed that 38% of women complaining of hair loss were biotin deficient. This discovery offers hope and optimism for those experiencing hair loss.

So, next time you experience severe hair loss, maybe check your biotin levels and talk with your nutritionist to adjust your diet appropriately.
