Why Your Hair Sheds More in the Fall (and What to Do About It)

As the seasons shift, our hair often tells the story before we do. Just like your skin and wardrobe, your hair needs extra care when the weather changes. If you’ve noticed more shedding, dryness, or dullness as fall and winter roll in, you’re not alone, it’s completely natural. At Revamp Salon Company on Broadway in Saskatoon, we’re here to help you understand why your hair reacts this way and how to keep it healthy, shiny, and strong with both at-home care and professional treatments.

Seasonal Shedding: Why It Happens

Just like dogs shedding their coats or rabbits changing fur as the seasons shift, humans also go through natural hair cycles in response to environmental changes. When the weather cools, your body reallocates resources to keep you warm, which can trigger more strands to move into the shedding phase. This process is called telogen effluvium, and it’s perfectly normal, though it can feel frustrating when you see more hair in your brush.

The good news? Seasonal shedding doesn’t last forever, and with the right scalp care and treatments, you can minimize stress on your strands and keep your hair looking full and vibrant all year long.

Step One: Start with Scalp Care

Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp. Think of it as the “soil” your hair grows from — if it’s clogged, dry, or unbalanced, your hair won’t thrive.

At Revamp Salon Company in Saskatoon, we recommend:

• L’ANZA Scalp Detox Treatment: Options like Root Revival Detox (for buildup and oiliness) or Balance Boost Therapy (for dryness and irritation) reset your scalp for optimal growth.

Pro tip: Pair in-salon detox treatments with gentle exfoliating scalp products at home to keep the cycle going.

Step Two: Nourish and Strengthen Through the Cold

Cold weather = dry air, and dry air = thirsty strands. This is when your hair craves deep hydration and repair.

In-salon, we recommend:

• L’ANZA Customized Mask Treatments: A quick, affordable boost of hydration, repair, or strength.

• L’ANZA Ultimate Treatment: Deep cleanse + customized infusion for volume, shine, or moisture.

• L’ANZA Emergency Treatment: A lifesaver for chemically processed or heat-styled hair that needs serious strength restoration.

  
  

At home, support your salon treatments with L’ANZA Healing Moisture products. Enriched with Polynesian botanicals and advanced hydration complexes, this line keeps hair smooth, frizz-free, and moisturized, without weighing it down.

Step Three: Add Luxury + Shine with Oils

As hair adjusts to the season, shine often fades. That’s where oils come in. L’ANZA Keratin Healing Oil is one of our top picks for Saskatoon hair clients:

• Restores strength + elasticity

• Hydrates without greasiness

• Adds mirror-like shine with a lightweight finish

With its proprietary Phyto IV Complex (a blend of four wildcrafted plant oils), this collection is a must-have for all hair types during seasonal transitions.

Step Four: Protect & Maintain Between Visits

Consistency is key. Use professional products at home to extend the results of your salon treatments:

• L’ANZA Healing Moisture line for dry hair

• Keratin Healing Oil for shine + strength

Our stylists at Revamp Salon Company can build a custom regimen for you, so you’re set up for success between visits!

Shedding, dryness, or dullness when the seasons change is 100% normal, but it doesn’t have to leave your hair looking or feeling less than its best. With scalp-focused care, hydration-boosting treatments, and professional-grade products, you can protect your strands and enter every new season with confidence.
