Leading Trichologist Eva Proudman FIT IAT advises that the change of season is a timely reminder to top up on your hair and scalp solutions and supplements

Eva says; “After a fabulous summer which saw extended periods of glorious sunshine (and plenty of that all important, hair-healthy Vitamin D) there’s now a subtle sense of Autumn in the air. And, with that shift, we know all too well that the start of September can often signal a time of year when seasonal shedding might become more noticeable for many of us.

“Indeed, this phenomena of increased hair shedding really does afflict those of us living in the Northern Hemisphere, most often from September through to November. And, whilst we don’t fully understand the causes, we do know that the longer daylight hours and increased sunshine over the past summer months will have provided a real boost to vitamin D levels, helping to retain more hair in the growing phase. So, as this effect declines, some of that retained hair will, in turn, start to shed – which naturally causes alarm when we suddenly notice excess hair in our brushes or ‘clogging up’ the plughole after showering.

“As a trichologist, I’m always keen to offer words of reassurance and explain there’s no cause for concern and that this seasonal shedding is all part of the natural lifecycle of our hair.

Whenever you see a change in your hair and scalp that isn’t normal for you, you should think about seeking advice. As a rule, the sooner I can see someone and diagnose their condition, usually the better the outcome for their hair and scalp health.

If you are considering taking action now a couple of recommendations that may be beneficial at this time of year would be our TricoActiv+ lotion and multi award winning Tricoextra supplement.

TricoActiv+  is formulated to support and maintain a normal hair growing and shedding cycle and to maintain hair density over the next few months as we see seasonal shed kick- in (just as the Autumnal leaves start to fall too, following an abundant summer). So, why not give your hair and scalp a boost with this easy to use once a day scalp treatment lotion.

Eva adds: “The award-winning supplement Tricoextra, is also a great addition to anyone’s Autumn wellbeing routine. The uniquely formulated supplement is packed full of the optimum level of essential vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin D needed to support and encourage healthy hair, scalp, skin and nails.

When formulating Tricoextra , it was vital to me that every ingredient was essential and that they would all work together in harmony for optimum absorption and effect. Taking Tricoextra means you can be sure that your supplement will provide everything you need, whereas individual supplements can sometimes mean they will conflict with each other and may not be at the right levels.

“Interestingly, for some people they’ll notice more change in the Springtime than Autumn, but whatever your ‘shedding season’, remember this isn’t hair loss, rather a disruption to the growing and shedding cycle of the hair, which both the ‘game-changing’ TricoActiv+ hair loss lotion and tried and tested Tricoextra can really help to support.

Seasonal shedding lasts for 2 – 3 months and then the shedding levels return to normal. If your shedding is lasting longer than this seek professional advice as it may be more than just seasonal shedding.

“So, if you haven’t tried our hero products yet, now would be an optimal time to give them a go!

“Launched to the UK market earlier this year (in partnership with our great friend and colleague, Michael Ryan, the Dubai Hair Doctor), TricoActiv+ is already yielding positive results with some really encouraging feedback from happy customers coming in, thick and fast!

“But, as always, we truly value the ‘patient experience’….and we’d felt over the past couple of months that some of our TricoActiv+ users were wanting an even more direct means of being able to apply the lotion to the root of their hair in a simple and effective way.

“So, they spoke – and we listened (and delivered!) And so, this month, UK Hair Consultants is thrilled to be introducing a new, streamlined “Dalek” nozzle, which we’re confident will make TricoActiv+ even more user-friendly and effective.

Eva adds: “Small change, big difference – and an exciting step in helping to control and maybe even ‘exterminate’ the fear around seasonal shedding! A diagnosis is the best way forward as your treatment will need to be holistic and may cover more than just one condition or one treatment.”

The topical solution, TricoActiv+ harnesses the most powerful ingredients that nature can provide, combining them into an easy to use once-a-day treatment to provide powerful and effective vasodilation and DHT blocking. In an independent trial of TricoActiv+ results showed that 95% of patients saw a reduction in hair shedding and loss, with 55% also seeing an improvement in hair growth.
