With each change of season, hair undergoes variations that can weaken it. External aggressions and temperature changes influence the health of the scalp and hair density. In order to prevent hair loss in the fall and restore vitality and shine to your hair fibers, it is essential to adopt an adapted routine, with targeted care that respects the natural balance of your scalp.

WHY DOES HAIR FALL OUT MORE DURING AUTUMN?
SUMMER, A PERIOD OF OXIDATIVE STRESS AND HAIR DISRUPTION
During the summer, the scalp and hair follicles are constantly exposed to harsh environmental elements such as UV rays, sea salt and chlorine from swimming pools. These agents cause oxidative stress, a process in which free radicals attack skin and hair cells. This cellular degradation harms the health of the hair follicles, which are responsible for hair production and regeneration. Oxidative stress not only alters the structure of the follicles, but it also disrupts the synthesis of essential proteins, such as keratin, weakening the hair fiber.
Furthermore, prolonged exposure to these factors can compromise blood microcirculation in the scalp. This reduction in blood flow limits the supply of oxygen and vital nutrients, such as amino acids and vitamins, necessary for healthy hair growth. Impaired microcirculation reduces the efficiency of biological processes within the follicles, shortening the anagen phase (active growth phase) and promoting a faster transition to the telogen phase (resting phase). This phenomenon can lead to increased hair loss, often observed in the following months.
HORMONAL FACTORS AND SEASONAL DISRUPTIONS
With the arrival of autumn, environmental changes, such as reduced daylight and temperature fluctuations, have a direct impact on the hair cycle. Natural light influences the production of melatonin, which plays a role in regulating the hair cycle. A reduction in light can alter this regulation, leading to premature entry into the telogen phase (resting phase) and increased hair loss.
In addition, seasonal variations influence the production of certain hormones such as cortisol, the stress hormone. This hormonal increase, coupled with colder weather conditions, can cause hyperreactivity of the scalp. This condition increases sebum production and exacerbates local inflammation, creating an environment conducive to hair loss. Finally, dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone linked to the miniaturization of follicles, can be accentuated by these disturbances, thus contributing to an accelerated weakening of hair fibers.
HOW TO RESTORE VITALITY TO YOUR HAIR?
DETOX SERUM TO PURIFY THE SCALP
With the return to big cities, stress and pollution quickly suffocate the scalp. That's why we start the routine with the Detox Serum, enriched with astragalus and zinc PCA, which purifies and regulates sebum production. This treatment, thanks to niacinamide and an enzymatic exfoliant, stimulates cell renewal while rebalancing the scalp. For optimal results, apply the Detox Serum daily for two weeks.
HOW TO APPLY THE DETOX SERUM?
To reset the balance of your scalp, apply the Detox Serum every morning for one to two weeks. Use it preferably after shampooing to remove all impurities and promote the absorption of active ingredients. Then, maintain the balance of your scalp by applying it as a maintenance treatment two to three times a week.
THE DENSIFYING SERUM TO RESTORE HAIR DENSITY
After resetting the scalp, we then continue with the Densifying Serum. Formulated with turmeric and caffeine, it restores vitality and density to the hair. Pea shoot extract, combined with niacinamide, strengthens the skin barrier and prevents hair loss. To maximize the benefits, use the Densifying Serum for three months.
SCALP MASSAGE FOR AN OPTIMAL ROUTINE
We complete the routine with a scalp massage, ideal for stimulating hair growth. By increasing blood circulation, this gesture promotes the supply of essential nutrients to the hair follicles, thus strengthening hair growth.
Advice from Marine Morel, founder of Fauve: “This massage is easy to integrate into a daily routine: while showering, gently massage the scalp for 3 to 5 minutes. Using your fingertips, apply circular pressure, starting from the nape of the neck to the top of the head. This simple and soothing ritual energizes the roots and strengthens the hair deep down.”
