End-of-Summer Shedding: What’s Normal and What’s Not

Yes, Summer Hair Loss Is a Thing
Noticing more hair in the drain lately? You’re not alone. As summer winds down, it’s common to experience increased shedding—and it’s not always a cause for alarm. At Davis Hair Restoration, many patients check in around late August concerned about seasonal hair loss.

According to Dr. Steven Davis, the combination of UV exposure, sweat, swimming, and general summer stress can put added pressure on your scalp. This leads to more noticeable shedding, especially in women. And while this type of shedding is usually temporary, it can highlight other issues that may have gone unnoticed.

When to Seek Guidance
The key is knowing when “normal” becomes “not normal.” If your shedding is paired with noticeable thinning, patchiness, or a widening part, it might be time for a consult. Early action can make a huge difference, and that’s something we take seriously at Davis Hair Restoration.

It’s also worth considering how your body responds to seasonal transitions. Stress, travel, and even shifts in diet can impact your hair cycle. The end of summer is a natural time to reset—just like your scalp might be signaling.

Hair health is a journey, and understanding what your hair is telling you is the first step toward protecting it for the long term.
