Autumn shedding of human hair is influenced by changes in photoperiod (daylight duration) and temperature. As daylight shortens and temperatures drop, hair follicles go through a natural cycle called the telogen phase. During this phase, hair strands are in a resting state and eventually shed to make way for new growth. This shedding is a part of the body's adaptive response to conserve energy and adapt to seasonal changes. It's a normal and temporary process, ensuring healthier, thicker hair in the upcoming seasons.
