Let’s Talk About Seasonal Hair Shedding
How to Tackle Seasonal Hair Shedding at FLINT Salon in Norwich
If your hairbrush seems a little more full than usual right now, you're definitely not imagining it. In September, many of us notice more hair shedding than normal. As we head out of summer and into autumn, changes in our hair's natural growth cycle can mean a little extra hair making its way onto your brush, pillow or shower floor.
And while some seasonal shedding is completely normal, it's also a great time to give your scalp and hair a little extra attention - especially if you’re noticing increased thinning, a change in density, or a scalp that feels dry, sensitive or out of balance.
Below, we share some top tips & product recommendations to ensure your hair stays in healthy condition.
Your Scalp Is The Starting Point
Healthy-looking hair starts with a healthy scalp. That's why we're big believers in looking beyond simply choosing a shampoo and conditioner.
At FLINT salon in Norwich, we stock a carefully selected collection of eco-friendly, professional hair and scalp care products - designed to support everything from thinning and fine hair to scalp imbalance and hair that needs a little extra TLC.
You can also shop our best-selling products from the comfort of your own home, via our online store.
Hair Density: The Menopause & Weight Loss Connection
Thinning hair used to be something many people worried about quietly, but we're increasingly recognising that changes in hair density can be a much wider issue. Weight loss medications and treatments, hormonal changes and the menopause can all coincide with changes in hair density and the way hair feels and behaves.
The good news is that the technology and professional haircare available to us has caught up. We now have a much wider range of specialist products and treatments designed to help hair look thicker, fuller and denser, while supporting the health of the scalp and the quality of the hair we have.
Our Specialist Picks for Thinning Hair & Scalp Care
But which products are right for you? That’s where we come in.
There’s no single 'best' product for thinning hair or scalp concerns - because your hair is unique to you. What works brilliantly for one person might not be the right choice for another. Our FLINT stylists are always happy to have a chat, assess what’s going on with your hair and scalp, and recommend the products that make the most sense for your individual hair type, concerns and routine.
And if you can’t make it into the salon, you can also shop our specialist haircare collection online.
Davines Naturaltech
The Naturaltech range is one of our go-to collections for targeted hair and scalp concerns. With different lines designed for specific needs, it allows us to choose products according to what your hair and scalp actually need - rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
Nioxin
If your main concern is thinning-looking hair or a loss of density, Nioxin is another specialist range we love. Its systems are designed to cleanse and care for the scalp and hair while helping hair look fuller and healthier.
Bumble & Bumble
For hair that feels fine, fragile or lacking in fullness, Bumble & bumble Full Potential is designed with the goal of supporting stronger-looking, more resilient hair. It’s a great option if you’re looking to give your routine a bit of a reset as we move into the new season.
Our Top Pick: Davines Naturaltech Energizing Overnight Serum
We've always been big fans of the Davines Naturaltech Energizing range at FLINT. We have seen some amazing results for our clients experiencing thinning hair - so we're especially excited to welcome the newest addition to the family the NEW Naturaltech Energizing Overnight Serum.
This night-active scalp treatment works with the scalp’s natural overnight rhythm to help reduce hair thinning and support fuller, stronger-looking hair. It’s clinically noted to deliver up to 50% less hair fall from brushing and up to 3x more visibly fuller-looking hair as part of a routine. With 95.7% natural-origin ingredients, including spirulina, chlorella, lemon balm, green tea and vitamin B3, plus a completely silicone-free formula, it’s a pretty exciting addition to your nighttime haircare routine.

So, if you've noticed a little more shedding lately, don't panic. Take it as a reminder to check in with your hair and scalp and make sure your routine is working for you. And if shedding seems excessive, sudden or continues for a prolonged period, it’s always worth speaking to a GP or qualified healthcare professional to rule out any underlying causes.
