Summer Sheds... Why?

[Sir_LagaLot]

i always start shedding excessively in summers.. and i'd be lying if i said the hair i shed grows back or grows back as thick as it was before because i'm always thinned out towards the end of summer..

i was wondering though as to why so many people report sheds in summers.. they say hair grows faster in summers than winters? so is summer heat basically a sort of early shove from telogen to anagen causing the sheds? whats the theory behind it? why shed so much in summer?

i know animals such as dogs etc shed alot of hair in the summer so they have seasonal sheds but whats the reasoning behind it?

actually people shed most in the fall....MOST people that is.

I also have the idea that I shed much more in the summer. Maybe it is because of elevated testosterone, dht levels in the spring/summer...
