Winter may feel cozy, but it’s one of the harshest seasons for your hair. As temperatures drop, the cold, dry air strips the scalp of moisture, leading to increased breakage, dandruff, and significant hair fall in winter. If you notice heavy shedding as soon as the season begins, you’re not alone—this is extremely common.

Common Winter Hair Loss Causes

Winter brings low humidity, cold winds, and dry indoor heating — all of which impact your scalp and hair health. At Derma Arts, we frequently treat patients who experience sudden shedding as the temperature drops. Here are the most common reasons behind this:

1. Dry Scalp & Lack of MoistureCold air holds very little moisture. This dryness affects the scalp first, making it flaky, itchy, and irritated. When the scalp barrier becomes weak, hair roots lose nourishment, causing increased shedding.
2. Reduced Blood Circulation to the Scalp
   In winter, blood vessels naturally constrict due to cold weather, reducing oxygen and nutrient flow to hair follicles. Weaker follicles = more breakage and seasonal hair loss.
3. Indoor Heating & Hot Showers
   Use of room heaters and frequent hot-water showers strips the scalp of its natural oils. This leads to brittle hair cuticles, rough texture, and a rise in hair fall.
4. Dandruff & Seborrheic Dermatitis
   Winter dandruff is a major contributor to this winter. Flakes, irritation, and inflammation disrupt the hair growth cycle, causing hair to shed more than usual.
5. Poor Hydration & Nutritional Deficiency
   People tend to drink less water and often lack Vitamin D during winter. Both dehydration and deficiencies weaken hair roots and slow down growth.
6. Stress & Lifestyle Changes
   Shorter days, disrupted routines, and winter fatigue can increase stress hormones, directly affecting hair growth.

FAQs: Hair Fall in Winter

• Why does hair fall increase in winter?

Hair fall increases in winter due to dry air, lack of moisture, dandruff, and reduced blood circulation in the scalp. These conditions weaken the roots, causing noticeable shedding.

• Is hair fall in winter normal?

Yes, hair fall in winter is common. Most people experience seasonal shedding between November and February, but excessive or prolonged hair fall requires dermatologist attention.

• How can I stop hair fall in winter?

Use hydrating shampoos, avoid hot water, treat dandruff early, oil regularly, and follow a nutrient-rich diet. For severe hair fall, professional treatments like PRP, GFC, or mesotherapy are highly effective.

• Does dandruff cause winter hair fall?

Yes. Dandruff becomes worse in winter due to dryness and fungal overgrowth, which irritates the scalp and leads to hair fall.

• Which is the best treatment for winter hair fall?

GFC, PRP therapy, Mesotherapy, and Laser hair growth therapy are among the best treatments. These strengthen roots, improve blood flow, and control seasonal shedding.

• How long does winter hair fall last?

Seasonal hair fall typically lasts 4–8 weeks. If it continues beyond this period, consult a dermatologist for proper diagnosis.

• Can winter weather cause permanent hair loss?

No, winter hair fall is usually temporary. However, if you have underlying conditions (dandruff, hormonal imbalance, nutritional deficiency), it can worsen without treatment.

• Which doctor should I visit for hair fall in Delhi?

Visit a dermatologist or trichologist specializing in hair loss treatments. Derma Arts offers advanced solutions like PRP, GFC, Mesotherapy, and customized plans for winter hair fall treatment in Delhi.

• Is GFC better than PRP for hair fall?

GFC is more advanced, requires no downtime, and delivers faster results because it contains highly concentrated growth factors. However, both treatments are effective—your dermatologist will suggest the best option for your condition.

• How do I prevent hair fall due to winter weather?

Protect your hair from cold winds, avoid very hot showers, moisturise your scalp regularly, stay hydrated, and follow a winter-specific hair care routine recommended by experts.
